Summary (TL;DR): <\/strong>Most CRM buying mistakes trace back to a handful of points nobody verified before signing. This checklist covers 12 of them, grouped into four areas. They are data and migration, security and compliance, vendor viability, and total cost of ownership. Two points matter more than the rest for Indian SMBs specifically. Confirm the vendor’s actual DPDP Act compliance. Get a written answer on data migration cost and downtime, not a verbal assurance. Groweon covers all 12 points directly. Standard deployment takes 60 to 120 minutes, and pricing starts at \u20b92,999 a month for three users. <\/span><\/em>
