"What does a Goldmine Consultant cost?"
The question that a prospective client ask most often is "How much consultancy and training do I need? GoldMine is just a piece of software isn't it, so why don't I just buy it and install it myself - isnt a consultant is an unnecessary expense?"
Well, of course my answer is "Yes, you could". It's not rocket science and the manuals are comprehensive and easy to follow. It's no more difficult than installing Microsoft Office.
But installing GoldMine onto your network is just 5% of the task. How much of the extra 95% you can do will depend entirely on what you are trying to achieve - You may have to invest an awful lot of time to learn the necessary skills a GoldMine Consultant has. So if you intend to do everything yourself remember KISS.
Industry statistics claim that over 60% of CRM solutions fail to meet their objectives, clients who have been working with a consultant!!
Here is a list of the Top Causes of Failure and here is how to Build Success Into Your CRM System with the help of a GoldMine Consultant.
Companies who go it alone without a consultant to guide them invariably fail.

But that's just a fraction of what you could achieve with just a little help from PCDi...
Starter Kit - Instant Design and Build...
Forget ROI - sure the total cost can be proven to pay back in less than a year (often in a few months) - but you are the Sales Manager with a small budget and pressured to hit ambitious targets. So what can PCDi do to help the you meet your targets and deliver within a tight budget? The answer is Instant Design and Build.
This is a proven approach to GoldMine implementation from PCDi that maximizes the benefit of every single minute we spend with you. The key to success is that famous KISS principle - Keep It Simple Stupid!
If it's a Sales & Marketing focused solution you need, we even have a "Fast track" sales template to deliver even greater value.
You have 15 or less users? So let's keep it simple.
For many larger organizations the total cost of the project is a non-issue, the benefit is clear. The cost of a GoldMine Consultant, customization, implementation and training will be very reasonable when spread over a larger user base -It's no idle boast that GoldMine delivers 80% of the functionality for 20% of the cost when compared with its peers.
However, when you are a smaller organization needing 5 to 15 users, the additional costs of implementation and ownership can be much harder to stomach, especially when the need to synchronize information to the laptops of a remote sales force starts to push up the cost.
Our emphasis is on training and empowerment, we encourage you to take ownership of the design process right from the word go. You will shadow and assist your GoldMine Consultant as she sets up your model database and begins to develop the structure of your customized GoldMine solution. You will be expected to join in and get your hands dirty whenever possible; after all this is YOUR system and at the end of the day it will be YOUR design. This mentoring process is an advanced and powerful technique that we have developed especially for smaller installations like yours.
At the end of the process you will have all the essential basic skills at you finger tips - not simply to use the software proficiently, but to be able to maintain and develop it further as your skills and experience grow. Of course, you may end up with so many ambitious plans for automation and advanced reporting and data analysis that you will want your GoldMine consultant back to further assist you in adding greater value to your very own CRM or SFA system.
Typically 2 - 3 days with a GoldMine Consultant is all it will take to get your project up off the ground and flying. It wont be finished but you will be well on the way. you will know where you are going - and how to get there. Cost? 2-3 times the software purchase price. This type of implementation will go way beyond anything you might have achieved on your own. But don't worry you won't get left behind.
