Top 5 Advantages of CRM

1. Connect with Customers

The main purpose of a CRM system is to support a business in engaging its customers.

As well as individuals who purchase a product or service, ‘customer’ also applies to partners, beneficiaries, donors, students, members and any other contacts who do business with an organisation.

Firstly, CRM systems help organisations better understand their customers.

Without a clear understanding of the history and current status of each relationship, the ability of staff to exceed client expectations  will be severely restricted.

CRM creates a single truth about each relationship that is accessible from a consistent interface wherever people work.

Often, a better solution will be sought to replace unconnected applications, spread-sheets, paper files or customer detail being committed to memory.

In some instances, CRM will be connected to external data sources including accounting systems and websites to pick up interactions across every touch point for a coherent and complete relationship picture.

As a result, CRM users are empowered to deliver a responsive service and delight customers which ultimately contributes towards increased client retention.

By deploying CRM integrated web portals a new service channel is created delivering extra scale and offering greater choice so that customers can find solutions and do business with organisations on their own terms.

Increasing sales is another example of how CRM helps businesses connect with customers. This includes:

Identifying the most valuable accounts and delivering appropriate service levelsUsing relationship and order detail to discover new upsell and cross sell opportunitiesOpportunity management to help sales individuals connect with the right prospects at the right timeIntegrated campaigns that nurture customers and alert team when individuals respondIncreased lead generation using segmented lists and personalised messages that resonate

2. Grow Efficiently

By better aligning people and business processes, CRM systems help organisations achieve greater scale and grow efficiently.

Some examples of this include:

Replace repetitive manual tasks with smart automated workflows that complete actions and send automated emails which cuts administration and eliminates duplication.Avoid staff jumping between systems by managing all workflows in a single interface. This can include service cases, contracts, projects, events and application requests.Apply business rules, methodology and best practice to CRM workflows enabling users to follow guided steps and reach successful outcomes when handling sales leads, service issues and other business processes.CRM fosters a positive team culture and improves communication as individuals share information, collaborate effectively and gain a better understanding of other areas in your organisation.Improved productivity through better time management as CRM prompts users when important events occur, or if actions are missed.Gain more value from existing technologies. Using the example of Microsoft Dynamics 365 this utilises familiar solutions including Outlook, Office 365, Skype and Sharepoint.

3. Discover New Insights from Business Data

Centralising customer and process data presents a new challenge to translate this into meaningful actions.

Big data in CRM is not a solution, but the foundation for learning new insights which can be acted upon by all users and business leaders.   

CRM helps organisations tap into these insights and differentiate their offering with data-driven outcomes rather than an over-reliance on gut-feel decisions.

4. Do Business Anywhere

Through mobile apps, web interface and offline access, CRM technology empowers people to get work done anywhere.

Whether you are working in your office, or on the go, you have a set of productivity tools to create, edit or collaborate on the processes and business relationships that matter to you.

With staff able connected to CRM on-demand they can immediately respond to client requests, react to leads, and manage existing accounts.
5. Safeguarding Business

Control access to your important customer and business information by securely storing data in the cloud. With advanced protection and automatic back-up, this data is protected from unexpected events.

CRM security profiles and settings enforce controls so that teams and individual users have appropriate permissions to access records consistent with their role.
