CRM Buyer’s Guide 2019

Customer experience and satisfaction is key to the growth and success of an organization. In the highly competitive world today, with various products and services to choose from, companies need to prioritise their sales, marketing and service efforts.

What you need to understand before selecting the CRM?

  • Analyze and outline as to what your business wants to achieve from the CRM software
  • Match your objectives with the features and functionalities of the CRM systems based on the vendor guide or other criteria
  • To implement a CRM, do a thorough research on what technology is being used, what is that you want to improve with technology, how many people will be using it, how can the new software help and do we need any additional software along with CRM
  • Consider CRM as an ideology to build and improve customer relations and not only as a technology tool yielding results.
  • CRM software does not fix business issues in a single go. It is a tool enhancing operations based upon your business strategy.

  • Know how the vendor is performing. This can be done with the help of review or other platforms like Gartner’s report, Forrester Wave, G2 Crowd, Capterra and more.
  • Based on your audit, charter a list of top vendors and select the one which meets your business requirements.

Once you have shortlisted on a few vendors, deciding on the perfect CRM vendor is quiet challenging. Do a background evaluation about the CRM offered by them like; whether they have worked on similar model like your business, how cost effective they are, time taken to implement the software, whether they have updated the features, what kind of support they offer.

 

Listing down few important ways to narrow down your choice of CRM

  • Create a scoring system amongst the selected vendors and see how the features in each product matches with your business requirements.
  • Ensure that the CRM integrates with other software in your business process like the HR software, Accounting software, website, etc.
  • Each vendor will have his own sales pitch while presenting or giving a demo of the CRM. Take time and see what fits best for your business.
  • Don’t just go by the words of the sales reps in taking the final decision, request for a run through or a free trial of the CRM.
  • Incorporate all the users while selecting the software, as the better user adaptability the better results.

defining new normals in CRM - 4 trends in spotlight

Defining the new normal in CRM – 4 trends in the spotlight

Do you remember the times we used to go to our neighborhood mom and pop stores for some quick errands? The shopkeeper recognized and greeted us, enquired about our family’s well-being, offered the product we regularly bought, and if the product was unavailable at that moment, offered to deliver it at our house at no additional cost.

And he did that for all his regular customers.

An excellent way to establish rapport and nourish a healthy relationship with customers, through personalization.

That’s exactly what CRM is about in 2017, only businesses do it these days with the help of computers and internet, for millions of such customers. Today, customers not only knock business’ brick-and-mortar doors, but also, online – via social media, apps, websites, and the latest addition to the CRM kitty, chatbots.

What drives CRM in 2017?

Rise of the bots

Chatbots are perhaps the next big thing after apps. Every brand now has one in place – whether on its website or on social media sites such as Facebook Messenger. These bots act as lead generators, capturing customer queries and providing them quick information.

Here’s the Adidas Women UK Chatbot that promotes fitness among women and helps them book fitness sessions.

CRM

We spoke more about bots in our previous blogs, ‘Chatbots – a botched play or a game changer?’, and ‘Batman or Superman – What should your business’ chatbot be?’

Smarter Mobile CRM

Mobile CRM is no longer just providing data on salesperson’s smartphones, online and offline. Some of the new features in Mobile CRM apps are:

  • Geolocation – Enables salesperson to identify which customers are in their vicinity, allowing them to drop by for quick, meaningful visits. This leads to effective usage of the salespersons work hours.
  • AI – Smart assistants pull customer data from their social profiles to glean a deeper understanding of customers. This helps the salesperson stay informed on the customer and personalize the pitch better.

Data-driven Personalization

Personalization is more than a “Hi *|FNAME|* ” in your mass mailers these days. Brands are leveraging machine learning to analyze customer data and identify patterns in behaviour. This helps them recommend the right products at the right time to the right customer.

For example, brands can use geofences to identify customers in store vicinity, pull their data from the CRM to analyze past purchases and push customized offer messages to their smartphones.

Leveraging Crowdsourcing

Business are deepening engagement with customers via crowdsourcing. Customers, ranging from various demographic segments are pulled together for surveys, polls, discussions, and online forums to provide feedback on new products, services and more. This helps customers feel more invested in the process, while it enables businesses to directly engage with customers and gain insights for their product roadmap.

A company that put crowdsourcing to good use is perhaps Lego Ideas. It is a website that acts as a forum for Lego fans to come together and suggest new Lego set ideas and designs. Have a look at their portal!

Lego Ideas - crowdsourcing

CRM has undergone a sea change in the last few years, and with technological advancements in AI and machine learning, the transformation will occur at an exponential rate. Businesses, globally, are recognizing the benefits of leveraging these advanced CRM features to create exceptional customer experiences, and widen mindshare as well as wallet share.
