Zoho CRM Implementation for Real Estate Lead Management
Challenge
The client, a mid-sized real estate company, faced significant challenges in managing incoming leads generated through multiple channels, such as digital ads, property portals, and website inquiries. Their sales teams relied heavily on spreadsheets and emails to track leads, leading to data duplication, missed follow-ups, and a lack of ownership.
Due to delayed response times, many high-intent prospects lost interest before sales representatives could engage. Additionally, the management team lacked real-time visibility into the sales pipeline, site visits, and deal progress across multiple projects.
Manual reporting processes were time-consuming and prone to errors, making it difficult to assess performance and optimize sales strategies. As the company continued to expand its operations and manage more projects simultaneously, the absence of a centralised CRM system began to impact revenue growth and scalability, highlighting the need for an automated, structured solution to streamline lead management and improve conversion rates.
