Did you know a CRM solution can help you manage your leads and customers?
You’ve got a bunch of lead funnels in place to capture opportunities for your business to grow. Those are relationships that you’re fostering. But is every single one of those relationships at a point where they want to buy from you?
Nope.
Some of them—most of them, in fact—need to be nurtured.
Let’s say you’re out at a networking event. You get someone’s business card, and you decide that you want to keep in touch with them. You could send them a newsletter, but that might not be enough to spark a conversation. Maybe you remember the conversation you had with them, a particular area of their business that is the most interesting to them. So you send them an email that keeps your conversation going. Perhaps you send them a news article that reminds you of some of the points they were making.
To make this work on a larger scale, you would have to personally follow up with every single lead in your funnel.
That’s one way to get your foot in the door. But who has time for that?
It turns out, technology can help you handle it.
What Is a CRM Solution?
A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution can help you stay top-of-mind with all of your leads without draining every second of your already busy day. This type of system lets you follow-up with current and potential customers, suppliers, and colleagues throughout the lifecycle of your relationships with them.
Having a CRM solution as part of your business operations lets you keep the contact information for customers and prospects in one place, making sales opportunity identification, customer service management, and marketing campaigns much easier to handle.
One of the best things about having a CRM tool for your business is that it is completely customizable. You can preprogram your system to identify the interests of your contacts and automatically send emails to them based on these interests. You can choose when these emails go out—for instance, if someone signs up for a service, you can send an email asking them to rate their experience—and how often these emails go out.
It’s a really handy tool that your business can use to get more customers and keep your current customers happy.
