1. Better service to customers:
CRM provides more avenues for customers to communicate and explain their needs to the organization through numerous contact points. Customers get increased satisfaction and a feeling of being special and important because of the increased personalization of services and customization of goods offered to them

Companies can customize a product or service depending on the data available with the firm. The firm can facilitate customer-company interaction through the company contact centre and web site. Such interactions help develop customized products.

CRM emphasizes on training and development of the employees to become more customer oriented. Due to CRM training and development, employees show care and concern towards the valuable customers; therefore, the customer defection rate may be reduced to a great extent.

Some firms treat their customers as partners. Firms solicit the help of the customers to design new products or to improve their ser­vices. If the customer gets involved with the firm, they are more likely to remain with the firm.

03. Perfect Result

In a nutshell, sales people and CRM is not an immediate “match made in heaven”, but the more time these two spend together – the stronger the attraction between them becomes.

CRM is going to boost the performance of any sales team, and will help sales people to excel in 4 areas that are critical for them:

– better search, sort and qualify leads;
– follow up on sales opportunities systematically and on time
– prioritize and rationalize follow up activities; and
– increase target reach rates faster.

The improvements that CRM brings, however, don’t come without effort, understanding and determination from the sales people’s side. Sales reps have to unanimously understand that updating CRM is central to their success.

Also, sales teams need to synchronize their activities and base them on best practices. This will enable a better sharing of information and will secure more effective work with CRM.
