Order and structure are the cornerstones of any successful business, especially when it comes to customer data. A robust CRM structure that effectively organises your data results in:
Reliable reporting and analytics.
Fewer open tabs.
Data regulations are adhered to.
Personalised outreach to leads and customers.

All in all, it lays the foundation of all sales and marketing activities and ensures you generate substantial revenue.

But CRM software is nothing more than a tool that you can customise to fit your exact business workflows. You need to understand the building blocks of CRM data organisation to bend your solution around your business needs.

The hierarchy of CRM system components is as follows: the workspace consists of folders; folders are made up of sub-folders, sub-folders contain records, and, finally, records are a collection of fields.

CRM workspace is your dashboard, the home to your CRM data. CRM folders represent a single business process, such as your contact database, tech support tickets, pipelines, and all the other good stuff. Sub-folders are filtered, sorted views of different aspects of data (or at least it is that way in NetHunt CRM). Records are like profiles of all the companies, contacts, and deals in your CRM database. Fields keep one single data point in your CRM system.

Correct field management starts a domino effect for correct business, data, and team management. Full fields make good records; good records make your folders effective; when your folders are effective, your workspace works. When your workspace works, your whole team is on track, aiming for the same goals with a structured sales process.

The essential CRM fields for effective data management include:
-First Name
-Last Name
-Job title
-Email address
-Contact type
-Phone number
-Company Name
-Location
-Birthday
-Web site

When you’re choosing a CRM system, it’s important to choose one that doesn’t limit the types of data your business can store. NetHunt CRM is a great choice for businesses that deal with lots of data.
