Turn CRM Into a Business Growth Engine

With Gill Walker – The CRM Success Catalyst

Executives invest millions in CRM, yet up to 70% of initiatives fail to deliver ROI.

Not because the technology is wrong — but because:

  • CRM is treated as IT, not business strategy

  • Leaders lack clear visibility and confidence in their data

  • Teams resist adoption and systems sit under-used

Gill Walker addresses the real reasons CRM struggles — and shows leaders how to change the outcome.

Her sessions equip executives, managers, and teams with clarity, confidence, and practical actions they can apply immediately.

Why Book Gill Walker

Most technical speakers talk about platforms and features.

Gill speaks about people, decisions, and outcomes.

Her sessions are designed to move organisations from uncertainty to clarity — and from intention to measurable impact.

What audiences gain:

  • Real-world CRM experience — practical insight drawn from decades of delivery, not theory

  • Clear, accessible language that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences

  • Actionable takeaways leaders and teams can apply immediately

  • Energy, humour, and honesty — without hype or jargon

  • A focus on adoption and measurable results, not just technology capability

Audiences leave with clarity, confidence, and practical next steps — not just inspiration, but direction they can act on.
