What is CRM?
A CRM is an online-based Customer Relationship Management system that lets you:
- understand and respond timely to the needs of your customers.
- receive valuable insights to make conclusive decisions about sales and your company objectives.
- connect all your customer representatives and clients from one place across all platforms (such as email, messaging and social media).
- establish a company culture and internal communication mechanism.
- increase company revenue and accountability.
The more we know about our customers, the better we will be able to provide them with positive experiences. Everything that they do, and every interaction that they have with our organisation needs to be identified, documented, and recorded. To do this, we need to move beyond the sticky-notes and disorganised filing cabinets and utilise organisational technology that not only accurately quantifies and categorises data for easy future reference, but also makes that data available across departments.
CRM allows us to store a vast list of customers and any important information regarding them. Access to their file is convenient due to the cloud, so no matter who it is that is helping the customer in question, they will have the same actionable data instantly available. This results in less wasted time for clients and employees.
