How to Convince Your Boss to Purchase a Salesforce PM App

KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) drive decisions in today’s dynamic business landscape, especially for IT consulting firms like ours, where every project and hour counts. If you’ve ever faced challenges in managing multiple projects, resource allocations, or justifying costs, you’re not alone. These very challenges underline the need for robust Project Management Software. And when it comes to such software, Salesforce emerges as a clear leader.

For those in the decision phase of purchasing a PSA, it’s essential to understand the KPIs that genuinely matter. Here are six actionable KPIs to present to your boss, emphasizing the value of investing in Salesforce Project Management Software:

1. Project Completion Rate
When a project runs smoothly, it’s usually on track to meet its deadline. With the Klient platform, you can enhance project management by ensuring timely project execution. Compare your current completion rates with industry benchmarks and highlight the potential uplift with the integration of Salesforce software.

2. Resource Utilization Rate
Efficiency is paramount. The Klient system on Salesforce offers comprehensive resource management capabilities, ensuring that every team member is utilized optimally, regardless of team size. A higher resource utilization rate means more profits and less idle time.

3. Margin and Profitability Analysis

Delayed invoicing or errors can disrupt cash flow. The Klient PSA allows for a seamless billing process, ensuring you get paid on time, every time. A higher billing efficiency rate will undoubtedly get your boss’s attention.

6. Onboarding Time
One of Klient’s key differentiators is simple onboarding. Showcase how the company can transition to the Klient platform over a weekend, ensuring minimal disruption and immediate productivity gains from Monday.
