    Whenever CRM implementation is a topic of discussion, adoption and utilization are usually two words that aren't far behind. Everyone wants adoption and utilization of their new system, but what people don't realize is that they use these words interchangeably. When in reality they mean two different things. Adoption refers to the overall acceptance and use of the CRM system by the team and utilization refers to how effectively the team uses the CRM system to achieve their goals.

    Bring back the behavioral science concepts! Doug and Jess walk through six concepts that all relate to making decisions. Those concepts include: chunking, decision fatigue, staging, elimination by aspects, decision inertia, and substitution. Here are the definitions of each (From Behavioral Economics): Chunking: When the same information is presented in a different form that is easier to process, our ability to receive and remember it is greater.  Decision Fatigue: Long sessions of decision making can lead to poor choices. Staging: When people make complex or long decisions, such as buying a car, they tend to successively explore their options. This includes what information to focus on, as well as choices between attributes and alternatives. Elimination by Aspects: Decision makers gradually reduce the number of alternatives in a choice set, starting with the most important one. Decision Inertia: The endurance of a stable state associated with inaction and the concept of status quo bias Substitution: The strategy of replacing a distant or abstract reward with a more immediate or tangible incentive to motivate individuals to engage in desirable behaviors or achieve long-term goals.If you like the show, please subscribe and share the episode.
