Service Overview
CRM & Lead Management Setup helps organizations decide how lead capture, qualification, CRM fields and follow-up should be organized. The work is designed for teams that need more than a general market report: they need sourceable evidence, clear tradeoffs and a recommendation that can be used in a planning, procurement, investment or executive review meeting.
Stratova approaches this work by connecting commercial context, operating constraints and the evidence required to change a decision. The engagement does not stop at collecting information. It explains what the evidence means, where confidence is high, where assumptions remain exposed and what action is reasonable next.
