Frank Greguska deleted SDAP-328: -------------------------------- > What CRM is - a complete beginner's guide > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: SDAP-328 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SDAP-328 > Project: Apache Science Data Analytics Platform > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Giancarlo Esposito > Priority: Major > > *CRM system concept and how it works* > CRM-system (short for Customer Relationship Management), simple transcript > into Russian, customer relationship management. It is software designed to > automate customer (customer) interaction strategies. In particular, to > increase sales, optimize marketing and improve customer service by storing > information about customers and the history of relationships with them. > Establishing and improving business processes and then analyzing the results. > It sounds vague, CRM systems - what is it in simple words? > > *CRM is a program for the sales department that allows you to:* > * organize and regulate the work of your managers, > * monitor their work, > * automate the process of a deal with a client, > * reduce the time spent on repetitive processes, > * control communication between managers and clients, > * analyze the level of involvement of your employees in the work, > * analyze the level of customer loyalty to your company, > * save the customer base and collect the history of interaction with them, > * not to lose a single client who showed interest in your company. > If at least some of the items on the list are relevant to you, then you > cannot do without a CRM system. Now CRM is the minimum, without which it is > impossible for a company to remain competitive. > All market leaders, without exception, use CRM systems in their sales! > However, CRM is not a magic pill. If you do not have a decent "product", then > no program will help to increase the company's sales. > Typically, CRM systems are cloud-based online services that are provided by > subscription. You register in the CRM system, get a single account with all > the possibilities and sales tools. After setting up CRM, your employees / > managers are added to your account. You pay the tariff that suits you and > enjoy your work. You can work in CRM at any time and from any place where > there is Internet. > CRM systems help sales departments by prompting managers what to do: respond > to a new request, call a client, plan the next action on the deal. Robot > programs themselves send letters and SMS to clients when the application is > in the desired status, automatically launch ads and much more. > CRM allows you not to lose orders from new customers, systematize the work of > managers and control it, find points for optimization and further growth of > the company. > CRM-system standardizes and automates processes in the sales department. > You can tell a lot of beautiful things about how it would be great to > automate and increase sales, to manage a company while drinking cocktails on > tropical islands. These pictures are often manipulated by CRM implementation > consultants. These are empty unreasonable expectations. > *How to understand if your company needs a CRM system?* > A CRM system is needed by companies that sell their products or services > directly to customers through the sales department. Even if this department > consists of one manager, it is much more profitable to lead clients in a > systematic way in CRM. > If for the sale of your service / product it is necessary to conduct pre-sale > work (negotiations, presentation, negotiation of conditions) and your sales > department receives new requests every day, you need a CRM. > Only in CRM will it be possible to effectively work simultaneously on a large > number of applications that are in different stages of sale. > > h3. Sales department checklist: > * The client base is kept in Excel > * At the moment of an incoming call, managers do not see the client's name > * Your managers do not record agreements with the client > * You do not know the following tasks for transactions > * Nobody knows exactly how many transactions are at what stage. > * Incoming requests from new customers are regularly lost > * Email correspondence is conducted from personal mailboxes > * No conversation records or conversation histories > * Are you tired of the chaos and mess > > Do you recognize your sales department in at least one point? > Do you want to develop your company, invest in business, invest in > advertising, equipment and other means of production, expand and retain your > customer base? Then the CRM system > [https://apiway.ai/categories/crm-software] will become your reliable > assistant. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
