Does the Shadow CRM Keep You Up at Night?

You’re not alone if you’re a RevOps leader grappling with chronic data sync issues, duplicate records, and hours wasted on manual data cleanup. The dreaded “Shadow CRM” problem is a prevalent issue plaguing B2B SaaS companies. But there’s a beacon of hope – Revenue.io offers a Salesforce-native solution to eliminate these headaches and bring a new sense of optimism to your sales performance.

Shedding Light on the Shadow CRM

So, what exactly is this shadowy figure wreaking havoc on your Salesforce instance? The Shadow CRM arises from how most sales engagement platforms integrate with Salesforce. Tools like Outreach and SalesLoft rely on external databases and complex sync processes, leading to:

  • Fragile integrations prone to breaking and requiring constant troubleshooting
  • Duplicate data and discrepancies between systems
  • Countless hours wasted on manual data cleanup by RevOps teams

With these tools, the pain doesn’t stop there. Sales reps also have to spend precious time on tiresome data entry and sequence enrollment instead of selling, knowing data entry should be 99% automated and seamless. It’s a lose-lose situation.
