Tourniaire offers realistic guidelines and checklists for making sense of vendors' pitches, customizing CRM to your own organization's needs, and guiding the entire implementation process. These techniques apply to any CRM implementation, especially projects at mid-sized companies with $10 to $500 million in revenues--projects all too often neglected in other books.
