CRM project management – does your current system meet your needs?
CRM project management can make a real difference to the running of your business. With the right software in place, you can streamline interactions with customers and clients, forecast sales and quickly analyse your business performance.
In this blog, we look at what a CRM system offers and how Get Ahead can support you with yours.
Why do I need a CRM system?
CRM stands for customer relationship management. There comes a time when every business needs to upgrade from an Excel spreadsheet of contact details and invest in a proper CRM system.
With good CRM project management, you’ll end up with the right system for your needs. You’ll start seeing benefits straight away, like smoother interactions with customers.
Because your whole team can access the system, you can offer a better service too. It won’t matter if a customer has spoken to a different team member in the past – with the right information at their fingertips, anyone can reply to the customer in a helpful, proactive way.
A CRM system is also secure. Keeping customer data safe is a key part of building trust. A secure CRM system is password protected, so your customer data can only be accessed by trusted members of your team.
What can a CRM system do?
CRM systems come with a range of features. Most of them offer:
- Secure customer data tracking and storage, protecting your customers’ details while making them easy for you and your team to find.
- Prospect data to help you understand your target market.
- Records of interactions – a great way to provide a better standard of customer service.
- Scheduling tools and calendars to help you stay on top of action points and keep hot leads from going cold.
Often, you can choose the best set-up for your needs. For example, if you have a specific goal around improving sales figures, you might choose to focus your CRM system to give you the right information to help you.
