Regardless of the size of the company you belong to, customer satisfaction is one of the most important criteria for efficient operation. But how do you know if you need a CRM solution and when is the time to make such a purchase?

 

When you start to notice challenges like:

 

  • Customer information, such as their profile or interaction history, is hard to find
  • The steps taken in relation to them (contact, bidding, contract signing, support services) are carried out differently from one case to another and are difficult to follow
  • Sales reports are difficult to make, inaccurate, or time consuming
  • Potential customers are lost due to lack of communication, poor organization or lack of reaction
  • Sending documents (offers, contracts, invoices) to the customer is time consuming

 

It is a clear signal that it is time to move towards a Customer Relationship Management solution.

 

CRM solutions have become a must-have tool that facilitates marketing, sales and after-sales services to the highest standards. Their purpose is to gather and manage data about a company's customers or potential customers in order to strengthen the relationship between them and the company.
