• {{Sales workflow}}: Describe your current sales process, including stages, team roles, and pain points.
• {{Customization goals}}: What you want to achieve (e.g., better lead tracking, automated tasks, improved forecasting).

Instructions

2. Analyze the provided sales workflow and identify areas where the CRM can be customized to reduce manual effort and improve data accuracy.
3. Recommend specific customizations, such as adding custom fields, automating task assignments, or creating dashboards for key metrics.
4. Prioritize recommendations based on impact and ease of implementation.
5. Provide a step-by-step plan for implementing the top recommendations, including any necessary configuration changes.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections: 'Key Customizations', 'Implementation Steps', and 'Expected Benefits'. Use bullet points and keep the tone practical and actionable.
