Managing contacts, avoiding duplication, optimizing document organization... All these actions are simple when done separately, but they are often time-consuming. To avoid wasting time, but also to make the most of the information you gather from your customers, we recommend the use of Customer Relationship Management software, which will enable you to establish a lasting and reliable relationship with your customers.
SUMMARY

Greater marketing potential

CRM software enables you to capture and analyze customer-related information and draw up precise analyses to optimize exchanges. Better meeting customer expectations and refining the quality of the product or service on offer is a real asset provided by CRM software.

Access to information is facilitated, providing a better understanding of each customer's profile. The relationship between the customer and the company is more controlled, making it easier to forecast sales. Promotional offers and product introductions are made available to targeted customers.

Improve customer satisfaction and loyalty

The main benefit of using customer relationship management software is to better understand a customer's expectations, in order to try and meet them. The customer becomes the focal point of the company's processes.

Knowing your customer also means understanding what they expect and need, and doing everything possible to answer their questions. A customer who finds a pleasant welcome, individualized follow-up and a rapid response to their requests will easily return to your company to make new purchases.

Attracting new customers

Prospects are integrated into your contact database and also have a detailed profile. To turn them into customers, you can try out different techniques based on their behavior or preferences, such as :

  • offering them the chance to try a product or service, then inviting them to convert their trial into a purchase
  • inviting them to an event or private sale reserved for a limited number of people, in order to generate a compulsive purchase.

Customers are then won over with personalized messages sent at the right time. It's important to remember that attracting new customers is far more expensive than retaining existing ones.

Enhance and increase sales

Dashboards, varied and precise analyses and refined visibility enable you to highlight your results and observe where malfunctions are causing lost sales. By taking advantage of all its features, you can successfully increase your sales and develop your company's skills.

Easy access to information

Every user of CRM software can access all the information they need, at any time and on any device. Tablets, smartphones and computers can all be used to facilitate access to information. Customer needs are notified and updated on an ongoing basis.

Some software packages also allow customers to modify information directly online. All data is centralized, and you avoid the multiplication of files that are often tedious to update.

More effective customer follow-up

Detect customers who are not active, automatically follow up prospects and analyze customer requests to optimize your customer follow-up. In this way, you can ensure that every opportunity has been exploited and that your customers are satisfied with the offer or product you are proposing.
