The three macro areas of CRM

CRM can be divided into three macro-areas: operational, analytical, and collaborative.

The operational CRM supports the activities of supply chain and transactions with the company's IT system, front-office activities for the automation of sales forces and business marketing, mobile office activities for other support services and back-office for order management.

The analytic CRM focuses on the collection and analysis of data.

The collaborative CRM allows us to offer a personalized service to each customer and is composed of the main communication tools such as email, phone calls, web pages, etc.

Why use a CRM?

An advantage of CRM is that it helps companies proactively work with contacts to support relationships with potential and existing clients.  A CRM system empowers customer-facing teams with the correct data to create top-rated customer experiences.  A CRM allows you to document conversations held in person, through live chat, email, phone, or other channels, which enable the company to attend to customers’ specific needs in an individualized way. 

How to use CRM to increase sales

Here we are at the heart of the question: how to best manage CRM to optimize sales? With the collaboration of We Are Fiber you will show you the mechanisms and the tips of CRM, improving the production process, and strengthening your "brand awareness" in the eyes of customers.

The CRM is also able to monitor activity on your sales team, to immediately highlight any critical issues and optimize revenue.

You can constantly monitor the purchasing behavior of your customer so as to present the best offer at the right time according to their needs. By doing so you can take advantage of upselling, a very effective sales technique if used correctly.

To give a practical example, when a customer buys trousers in a clothing store he will probably need a belt. Upselling is just that: using information about a customer, such as purchasing habits and previous behaviors, to recommend the service or product related to his needs.

In this regard, consideration should be made: many companies focus more on winning new customers, rather than on retaining those already acquired. In fact, this is a mistake, as new customers can be harder to obtain and require more effort, while loyal existing customers are much more likely to come back to you. In this case, the CRM can provide useful information about your customer, such as the purchase history, so that you can offer them a related product that he has not yet purchased.

So there you have it, an introduction to the benefits of CRM systems. If you want to know more, contact us by phone or email. A professional and competent team will be ready to answer all your questions.
