Why a CRM Solution is Essential for Your Sales Team
by Ben Wilson on december 22nd 2017
Now more than ever, companies are taking the old adage of "the customer is always right" and turning it into "this is all about the customer". So much so that marketers are constantly talking about the end user experience and the importance of catering to the client.
If you look at how the most successful businesses are able to take the new customer-centric approach and run with it while staying organised, you'll likely discover some form of CRM at the heart of the company's approach.
At Web Force 5, we’ve created a content management system with a variety of innovative website design and development tools. An easy to use, yet powerful CRM is a key component of the system which has been developed to seamlessly integrate with all other functions. We specialise in helping companies generate sales and make money with an emphasis on promoting customer relationships.
What is CRM?
CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management.
You'll often see CRM discussed within the context of business software, but the concept ultimately refers to how businesses and companies relate to customers throughout the sales cycle. According to Investopedia, to name one source, general practices and established guidelines can all fall under the umbrella of "Customer Relationship Management".
In other words, CRM refers to both the tools and policies you use during the customer life cycle as well as the general philosophy of the company's approach to managing customer relationships.
How is CRM Good For Your Business?
We've talked in-depth about what makes CRM solutions such a powerful resource for businesses before, but here's a short list of the benefits associated with adopting a CRM:
- Have all your customer information in one centralised system
- Keep track of internal and external deadlines
- Reduce internal sales error
- Save money
- Execute company sales policy more consistently across the board
- Learn more about the behaviour and preferences of different customer groups
- Know where to allocate resources in the sales process for maximum profitability
- Have a single, straightforward and easy content management system
Why Your CRM Solution Provider Matters
There are a lot of businesses offering CRM solutions to Australian companies, but not all CRM providers are created equal.
Although the particulars may differ depending on the specific needs of your company, there are at least three areas where ‘who’ provides your CRM matters at least as much as what your CRM system is able to do:
- CRM Setup
- Field Selection
- Internal Staff Training
In other words, the best CRM providers offer tools and support designed to aid in the transition and implementation phases of the process.
Web Force 5's easy content management platform and website design tools simplify the decisions surrounding CRM setup and field selection dramatically because they are so intuitive. In addition, our emphasis on offering personalised attention to each of our clients means that we'll be with your business every step of the way.
