# Getting Started with CRM Automation

CRM automation is one of the most impactful investments you can make in your revenue operations. When done right, it eliminates manual work, reduces errors, and scales with your business.

Why Automate Your CRM

Manual data entry is a major bottleneck for sales teams. Every hour spent updating CRM records is an hour not spent selling. Automation eliminates this friction.
