The power of CRM software for the non-flower-touching cannabis industry

The main benefit of having a CRM for B2B cannabis companies is that it can help you better understand your audience and establish strong brand awareness.

A cannabis CRM can gather data about your leads and clients that help you get a clearer picture of exactly who those clients are. That allows you to go back and refine your marketing to better reach more of those people in the future.

On top of that, a CRM can help you automate tedious day-to-day tasks, so you can spend more time working on things that require your focus. That’s a point we’ll come back to in a moment.

As a cannabis product supplier with a great CRM system as part of your arsenal, your business can benefit in the following ways:

Critical CRM for non-flower-touching cannabis business features

There’s a lot to keep track of as a cannabis vendor. Even though cannabis was legalized in most US states by 2016, the industry is still green and heavily regulated. Keeping business-related information secure is also vital, as customer engagement still demands discretion.

As such, you need a centralized system that helps you keep track of your licenses and certifications. You also need a way to manage and organize contacts and prospects and track their behavior online to optimize your approach.

Now that we’ve established the benefits of having a CRM for non-flower-touching cannabis businesses let’s discuss what makes Nutshell the ideal CRM for you. We stand out from the competition in several ways, and we’ll cover four of those ways below.

Simplified data management for easy access to information

You’ll be amazed by how easy it is to use Nutshell to find and store the information you need. Nutshell prioritizes user-friendliness, featuring a highly intuitive dashboard and a clearly organized structure that you’ll have an easy time navigating.

At Nutshell, you can easily customize your dashboard to show the features and metrics you’re most concerned with. We also make it easy to jump between different sales funnel stages, categorizing prospects into three separate tabs: People, Leads, and Customers.

Nutshell’s easy-to-use contact management features help you organize your data in the following ways:

  • Effortlessly import your data, including contacts, calendars, and emails, to Nutshell or opt for our free white-glove data importing service.
  • Receive real-time notifications on your PC or mobile device to monitor team interactions as they happen.
  • By syncing Nutshell with your phone’s contacts and website forms for automatic data transfer, you can reduce the time you spend entering customer information.
  • Quickly upload prospect contact information on the go with Nutshell’s advanced business card scanner.
  • Let Nutshell accumulate essential contact data from across the web to fill in the blanks and ensure comprehensive records.

Task automation so you can focus on what’s important

Sales Email Drip

The last thing you want is to spend all day going through mundane tasks like categorizing leads and sending out individual emails. That’s why Nutshell goes out of its way to help you automate those tasks.

Nutshell can perform various sales tasks automatically, so you don’t have to handle them manually. The best example of this is email marketing—instead of sending out each one manually, Nutshell can automatically shoot off emails and drip sequences whenever a customer completes a particular action.

Our CRM will also automatically categorize leads and customers as you add them to the platform, dividing them based on factors like location and where they are in the sales funnel. Nutshell’s automation features give you the ability to do the following:

  • Create a custom sales process and workflow that takes advantage of our task automation features and enhances team efficiency.
  • Spend less time on mundane tasks and more time engaging with customers and prospects.
  • Set up automated reminders to ensure your team knows precisely what to do next and that leads aren’t overlooked.
  • Use our automated, personalized email sequences to follow up with prospects and keep the conversation going while you focus on selling.
  • Measure the success of each stage in your pipeline to ensure your sales process is as effective as possible and to adjust where needed.

Sales reports for detailed metrics and customer insights

A CRM for your cannabis product supply company would be useless if you didn’t take the time to gain insights from the data you gathered. That’s the whole point of the tool. For that reason, your CRM must provide advanced analytics and reporting functionalities—and Nutshell delivers.

The Nutshell app has an entire “Reports” tab dedicated solely to letting you view metrics related to your customers and sales. You can create custom reports on virtually any metric of your choosing, comparing different groups and seeing changes in your sales over time.

For example, maybe you want to compare the medical and recreational cannabis segments to see which one is more profitable and which one distributors and growers focus on the most. You could create a report to view that comparison quickly and easily.

You can then turn around and apply all the insights you gain to your marketing so you can drive sales more effectively. Nutshell’s reporting and analytics feature offers you the following and more:

  • Track and compare sales metrics over different periods by lead source, sales representative, product, and more.
  • Monitor team performance and productivity in relation to team goals and quickly identify areas for improvement.
  • Generate sales estimates based on existing data for more accurate forecasting.
  • Pinpoint your most profitable lead sources and double down on those for more quality leads.
  • Evaluate lost sales and determine the reasons they failed to convert into customers.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
