Boost Sales With CRM Systems - Lewis Robinson - ContactCenterWorld.com Blog

Boost Sales With CRM Systems

Customer relationships are the foundation of any successful sales team. Ensuring these relationships remain genuine, trustworthy, and mutually beneficial is a significant aspect of a sales representative’s job.  There are several ways to maintain adequate customer rapport, but most salespeople find that utilizing a customer relationship management system is the most convenient, helpful tool at their disposal. CRM systems allow sales representatives to manage customer information, highlight pipeline details, prioritize urgent tasks, and communicate with team members. These features demonstrate the importance of a CRM platform and why all sales teams should implement one. Read on to learn how CRM systems boost sales and grow business.

 

Connect With Qualified Leads

Most representatives are associated with sales and marketing groups whose job is to provide qualified, active leads to the sales team. Often, if not properly documented, these leads fall through the cracks, resulting in lost business opportunities. To avoid this deficit, lead generators and marketing teams can use a CRM system to log critical notes and information. Most platforms allow for notifications and reminders, ensuring the salesperson to whom the lead is assigned is aware of the next steps.

 

Any salesperson knows that some leads are hotter than others. An intelligent CRM strategy permits the lead generation and marketing teams to rank incoming potential new customers based on their interest. This way, reps are following up on the most qualified leads first.

 

Cultivate Customer Relationships 

Customer relationships are the key to a continuously successful business partnership. Therefore, salespeople must build their client relations with trust, loyalty, and progress in mind.

 

One way to accomplish this goal is to spend adequate time together on the initial call. Representatives must focus on listening rather than speaking, gaining valuable insight into the potential client’s challenges and pain points. This information can then be directly recorded within a CRM platform, enabling the rep to readily refer to it when it’s time for the next meeting. A good rule of thumb for salespeople is to enter a follow-up item after every call, eliminating any potential lapses in communication.

 

Customer bases grow and evolve. As such, it becomes increasingly difficult for salespeople to remember the specific details of each client. With a CRM system in place, reps can rest assured that all information is hosted in one manageable, easily accessible area, ensuring no critical notes wind up lost or misplaced.

 

Sell to Existing Customers 

While lead generation and new customers are critical for business growth, new clients are expensive and incredibly time-consuming. Fortunately, CRM platforms make it easy for reps to upsell their current customer base. Not only is the sale more manageable due to inherent trust and comfort levels, but it costs much less than onboarding a new client.

 

CRM systems allow for direct visibility into buyer behaviors and patterns. Therefore, when new products or special deals arise, it is easy for reps to determine which existing clients might be an appropriate fit.

 

Advance Employee Productivity

With the ability to automate mundane, time-consuming tasks, a CRM strategy allows salespeople to concentrate their energy on efforts that will move their business relationships forward.

 

Further, adopting a CRM system provides sales managers visibility into their representatives’ daily tasks. This way, they can determine where reps are exceeding their goals and where they might be falling short.

 

Improve Customer Service

Studies show that the vast majority of customers would pay more for products in exchange for better service. A CRM strategy enables companies to provide ultimate customer service by allowing the entire company easy access to customer accounts. This way, marketing never sends clients unwanted promotional materials, and salespeople always remember to follow-up on time. Bonus, when customer details and history are available companywide, tailored, custom messaging is possible. After all, every customer enjoys personalized communication versus detached, sweeping contact.

 

CRM systems can benefit sales teams of any size in any industry. With a bit of upfront education and dedication, sales representatives can be well on their way to experiencing the ultimate in client maintenance and retention.
