Episode 120 – What’s Your CRM Doing For You?

What is your CRM actually doing for you?

Is it helping you close more business—or just helping you feel busy?

In this episode, Steve Schiffman takes a direct look at how most sales professionals are using their CRM—and where it’s going wrong. Too often, pipelines are filled with information, notes, and activity that look productive but don’t actually move deals forward.

The problem isn’t the system. It’s how we define a real prospect.

You’ll hear a simple but powerful shift:
If there’s no next step scheduled, it’s not a real opportunity.

This episode breaks down how to rethink your CRM so it becomes a tool for progress—not just a place to store data.

You’ll learn:

What a true prospect actually is
Why collecting information doesn’t improve your closing rate
How to use your CRM to track movement, not just activity
The importance of scheduling the next step during every conversation
Why deals that drag beyond the normal sales cycle rarely close

This is a practical, no-nonsense conversation focused on one outcome—helping you advance every opportunity and build a pipeline that actually produces results.

Download the accompanying handout to put these ideas into action and take control of your sales process.


Listen now and start turning activity into real progress.
