Lesson learned: Minimum order require-ments might be costing your company valuable sales.

Code 3 Collectibles, a Los Angeles manufacturer of die-cut figurines, had a CRM package installed prior to March 2002, but the software didn't work effectively to solve the company's marketing and sales problems.

Every time John Meyer, Code 3's CIO, needed to add a field to the company's CRM database, it required a call to his CRM vendor. In addition, he had few reporting or analysis tools.
