The Costly CRM Challenge
How Manual Processes Drain Sales Resources and Revenue
The Hidden Cost of Manual CRM Management
Sales teams face significant challenges when managing CRM data manually:
- Sales reps spend up to 17% of their time on data entry instead of selling
- 40% of sales updates never make it into CRM systems
- Lead response times average 42 hours, while conversion rates drop dramatically after just 5 minutes
- Inconsistent follow-up processes lead to 79% of leads never converting
Freshworks CRM integration with n8n solves these problems by automating data capture, ensuring timely follow-ups, and maintaining accurate records—all without requiring constant manual intervention from your sales team.
