CRM Integration Workflow
CRM integration workflow is how allocator intelligence becomes repeatable execution—preserving decision context, timing signals, and relationship history beyond one person.
Without integration, intelligence decays into notes and memory. With integration, it becomes repeatable execution: structured context that preserves fit, timing, pathway, and decision-chain logic across long fundraising cycles.
This is an IR trust issue. Inconsistent outreach, lost history, and duplicated contact erode confidence faster than bad copy.
What good workflow preserves
- Context fields: mandate fit, sleeve, ticket sizing, constraints
- Decision-chain mapping: who decides vs who influences vs who blocks
- Timing signals: activity indicators and decision windows
- Provenance + recency: when and why data was updated
- Objection history: what blocked progress and what proof is needed next
Common misconceptions
- “CRM is just logging calls.” → It’s decision support.
- “Notes are enough.” → Structured context is what scales.
- “Integration is one-time.” → Recency discipline is the value.
Key Takeaways
- Workflow turns intelligence into execution.
- Consistency protects trust.
- Decision-chain context is the highest-leverage field to store.
