Customer Profile
A CRM system makes it easy to organize and track each potential customer’s activities, so the team doesn’t lose the trail of where each one is in the conversion funnel. For example, it can optimize sales teams’ routes for on-site visits and reminding them about their pending tasks, thereby allowing for maximum impact of the sales activities.

Customized Sales Approach
The beauty of having all the customer information stored in a single database is that organizations can discover customer behavior patterns based on relevant metrics such as average order value, cart abandonment rate, time spent on site, engagement rate, etc. This empowers them to create clear qualification criteria (BANT, MEDDIC, etc.) and adapt their strategies *BlueSheet, Spin, etc.) based on different customer types.
Upselling and cross-selling
Happy and satisfied customers come back if they have a positive impression of the organization’s product or brand. This opens up the possibility of earning additional revenue through upselling and cross-selling by matching their needs to additional products or services sold by the company. CRM can also provide white space metrics to identify the products that aren’t being bought and prevent churn by knowing when your customer stops buying a specific product.
Match sales roles to skill sets
Reps have always been split into 2 categories: farmers and closers. Some sales reps are good at identifying a deal but not necessarily closing one and vice versa. A CRM system can help you optimize your resources by balancing the lead assignments according to your rep’s strengths and creating processes for smooth transfer of work between these roles.
Funnels and Forecasting
KPIs and reporting tools give you real-time information about the opportunities in each stage of the sales funnel and based on the sales velocity, able to forecast the sales in the current quarter and next quarter. This empowers the sales managers to evaluate if the sales team is on track to reach their objectives and take necessary actions.
Mobile Friendly
We implement CRM in a way that when sales reps end a customer visit, they can update their visit objectives and create the next steps directly on their mobile in less than 60 seconds. They may also dictate their notes by leveraging SIRI or Google voice recognition, thus eliminating the need for data entry.
