As a small business owner, every relationship and connection you make impacts your growth and eventual success. That’s why you go out of your way to make the right connections when networking.

How do we do that? Through years of experience and expertise in serving businesses at every level of the game.
We know small businesses. We know that more often than not, small businesses quickly outgrow their CRM and, before they know it, are scrambling to find a solution while struggling to maintain day-to-day operations.

By creating a system that not only anticipates your needs but also allows for company growth, you can finally dedicate brainpower to growing and expanding your brand. Clean out the clutter, confusion, and miscommunication – once and for all.
Every business is unique. Why subscribe to a one-size-fits-all system when a completely customized system can save you time, money, and frustration?

Then, we start begin the process of designing your ideal system by integrating high-performing software and time-saving automations.

Do you need help building up operations so they have the capacity to work on the sales coming in? Bring a variety of software solutions under the same roof so you can manage operations all from the same place.
In small business, managing budgets, inventory, expenses, and client lists is extremely important. Small businesses often have fewer resources to handle sudden surges or slow times, so owners who can anticipate changes by forecasting potential issues before they happen often stand a better chance of surviving and thriving.
There’s a common misconception that CRMs, particularly platforms with advanced data analysis and visualization, aren’t suitable for the small business. Businesses assume they’re either too expensive or will demand too much manpower to manage. Here at DVI, we know the truth: small business software can help you collect data across a variety of platforms, analyze it, and create custom reports, all from an affordable, easy-to-access CRM.
Here’s how small business CRM solutions help.
Manually pulling data across several software platforms can be tedious. Collect data from all integrated platforms, like Quickbooks, MailChimp, and Shopify, to gain a wider perspective of your business. Add in a data reporting software, like ChartMogul, for seamless reporting and beautifully professional dashboards.
Small businesses rely on collaboration and communication to make everyday tasks run smoothly. Whether it’s interfacing with a client, speaking with freelancers, or passing tasks along to various third-party service providers, administration tasks often demand a significant amount of your time. That’s time better spent focusing on growing your business, being creative, and evolving.
Small business CRM solutions make the collaborative process easier by creating spaces where you can assign access to tasks and information in seconds. Give each employee, contractor, partner, or consultant access to only what they need and no more. Make spaces for teams and collaborators to work together fluidly with fewer
hiccups along the way.
If you’re managing long-term projects that require client input and approval,
consider a client-facing workspace. By giving your client’s access to your workflow process (and keeping confidential information and notes private), communication and needs are readily available. This minimizes client confusion, clearly lays out responsibilities, and replaces unnecessary emails.
Defined Ventures works closely with Podio, one of the world’s best small business CRM integrations. Through Podio’s highly-customizable interface, we can provide you with significant access to advanced tools that help you get the job done.
