CRM implementations

Scope control for CRM implementation partners

Whether you implement Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365 or another CRM, the statement of work sets numbers: stages, objects, reports, environments, training sessions. Clients rarely ask for new projects. They ask for one more of something. Agreeably finds the number that applies and shows it to you.

Where the boundary moves

The edges clients push on.

  • Counts that quietly grow

    Pipeline stages, custom objects, page layouts, reports, dashboards and user roles are usually capped. A request for “just one more” is checked against the cap and what has already been agreed.

  • Environments and licences

    An extra sandbox, a partial-copy refresh or a second production org can be a day of work. Agreeably cites the environment clause rather than leaving it to memory.

  • Training and hypercare

    Another training round, a recorded session for a new team, two more weeks of support after go-live. Each is assessed against the sessions and support period you signed.

Typical requests

How a few of them might come back.

Illustrative examples. The label always depends on what your own agreement says.

  • “Can we add a “Negotiation” stage to the pipeline?”

    Included

    The SOW allows up to seven stages and five are configured.

  • “We need a separate pipeline for renewals.”

    Potentially additional

    Configuration covers “one sales pipeline”.

  • “Can the sales team get another training session?”

    Unclear

    Training is “two sessions for the sales team”, and the client counts the cancelled one differently.

Write it down

Clauses that make these easy to answer.

The more specific the statement of work, the more requests come back included or potentially additional instead of unclear. Worth having in yours:

FAQ

CRM implementations: questions

Does Agreeably connect to our CRM?

No. It works from the agreement and the requests you paste or forward. Nothing is read from or written to your client’s CRM.

Which CRM platforms does it work with?

Any. Agreeably reads the statement of work, not the platform, so it works the same for Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365, Zoho or anything else your SOW describes.

Check your next request against the agreement.
