There
are companies which have a very structured CRM approach, where
everything is documented, especially companies who are ISO certified.
There are also companies where their CRM approach is “intuitive”, i.e.
it has become part of their culture and although not very structured it
is still efficient and workable. And there are companies where their
CRM approach has gaps and weaknesses and are improving those as they
mature and grow. CRM software comes to assist and complement the
company’s CRM business approach. JMDSolutions provides such a software. It
allows your company to automate any or all of the CRM processes
described above. Many companies will find that replacing their existing
spreadsheets or manual documents where they log service calls or sales
leads, with your own integrated JMDSolutions database will not only make you
more efficient but will also make you more customer focused. And last
but not least, JMDSolutions Solutions are easy to use and setup. Your team
can start using JMDSolutions Solutions in days.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Benefits:
Hidden Benefits Are Key to CRM
Improving
Customer Information through Customer Relationship Management (CRM) can
result in surprising hidden benefits, but organizations need to target
operational focus to leverage the opportunity. To date, organizations
have approached CRM with the single goal of improving customer
knowledge to drive sales strategies. Understanding your customer has
meant, in essence, easy access to consistent information about sales
history. As a result, too many companies have sold CRM as an extension
to the 'contact management' concept, and have therefore focused on
delivering customer information to sales people.
This
information of course has value. Tracking customer buying patterns is a
key tool in proactively managing the customer relationship and spotting
early any potential problems with that relationship that may result in
customer loss. Additionally, sales people can leverage this information
to facilitate the cross selling and up-selling that is key to
increasing the customer value, a vital factor in managing business
success. However, this exclusive focus on sales not only constrains the
scope of the project, it also significantly undermines the potential
benefits and overall value that can be gained. |
