Our CRM system that we use automatically makes duplicates of the entries that we put into the system. When you put a firm into the system, you must 'cover' it which means that no other rep can contact the firm. The duplicates get made automatically without notifying you, so you are at risk of another rep mistakenly contacting the firm if they don't see your original entry.

This would prevent other reps from contacting the firm and potentially risking the firm asking us to be put on the do not call list. This is frustrating because reps who do this are typically less skilled and sour the relationship before I even have a chance to build one with the firm.

Challenge: Employees may resist adopting new systems or processes, particularly if they are accustomed to the existing CRM, which can hinder implementation and user acceptance.
Challenge: Building a robust product to solve this pain point may require significant investment in resources, technology, and ongoing support, which can be a barrier for startups.
