What's inside

24 checks across five areas

A printable, no-nonsense checklist you can score honestly in one sitting — built from the questions I ask at the start of an implementation.

01

Sales process clarity

Your stages, lead sources, qualification and owners — plus how quickly new leads actually get a response.

02

Data readiness

Where your data lives today, what to keep or archive, duplicates, the field list you need and who owns data quality.

03

Team & adoption

A named champion, clear roles, time set aside for training, the why behind the change and how you'll measure success in the first 90 days.

04

Automation opportunities

Missed follow-ups, routing, alerts, reports and approvals — the repetitive work a CRM should take off your plate.

05

Integrations

Email & calendar, phone & WhatsApp, finance tools and website forms — what needs to connect from day one.

The checklist ends with a simple scoring guide — bands for 20–24, 13–19 and 0–12 ticks — so you know whether to start with process or software.

What comes after the score

If the checklist says you're ready, the next step is a structured rollout — see how I run one on the Zoho CRM implementation page, or browse the case studies to see how these projects play out for real teams.

FAQ

Readiness questions, answered

What teams usually ask before and after scoring the checklist.

How do I know if my business is ready for a CRM?
You're ready when three things are true: your sales process is repeatable enough to describe stage by stage, someone on the team can own the system day to day, and you're willing to clean up your data before migrating it. The checklist turns those into 24 yes/no checks across five areas — so instead of a gut feeling you get a score and a clear picture of which areas need work first.
Is the checklist really free?
Yes. You enter your name and work email and the 2-page PDF unlocks instantly — no payment, no obligation and no sales call required. If the score raises questions, a free 30-minute audit is available, but that's entirely your call.
What should I do if my readiness score is low?
A low score doesn't mean a CRM is wrong for you — it means buying one today would automate chaos instead of fixing it. Most low scores trace back to two gaps: an unclear sales process or no one owning data quality. Close those first, then implement. If you're unsure how to sequence the fixes, bring your scored checklist to a free audit and we'll turn it into a practical order of work.
Does the checklist only apply to Zoho CRM?
The fundamentals are platform-neutral — the same five areas decide whether a Salesforce or HubSpot rollout succeeds too. It's written with Zoho CRM in mind because that's where most of my implementations happen, but if you're still comparing platforms it works as a pre-purchase filter for any of them.
