Crafting Digital Excellence: Essential CRM Features for 2023 and Beyond
The Excellence team has gathered important features of a future-proof CRM platform, functionality that will accelerate your digital maturity and growth

What does a modern CRM system look like? The Excellence team has gathered important features of a future-proof CRM platform, functionality that will accelerate your digital maturity and growth.
Working with a wide range of CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, Klaviyo, Braze and more) with access to numerous features, we sometimes encounter blockers in functionality. Features we wish were developed, in order to save time and to get away from complex and MacGyvered (workarounds) that only fit a specific use case.
This Excellence team provides continuous feedback and suggestions to product developers of leading CRM & MA platforms. With the general response of “Thank you for your feedback. We will send it to our development team for future investigation and development.” We all know there is no one-fit-all CRM platform. However, we strongly believe that there are some great product updates to prioritize and features to look for when investing in a new CRM system.
