CRM – the need to build relationships

Posted on by maplespeaker

Excellent customer service is about being aware of customer needs and responding to them effectively. CRM helps you to understand, analyse and respond to your customers needs in a consistent way, right across your business.

Practising CRM requires an efficient and integrated internal business system. Many businesses benefit from the organisational discipline CRM imposes, as well as from the technology itself.

So the software enables a business to build a better personal relationship with their customers.

As a business, you should remember that Customer Relationship Management is a business philosophy. Understanding your customers needs enables you to build better relationships and increase sales.

A well-implemented system will increase the number of customers for a company, increase the satisfaction of those customers, and grow revenue and profit in both absolute and per-customer measures.

CRM helps you to not only get new customers, but also to stay close to existing customers. A solid customer relations strategy is a must, and it can be effectively built, supported and maintained by technology.

You need your customers more than they need you!

Posted on by maplespeaker

Today customers have more choices than you in the market. Customers can easily find whatever they need from anywhere and at anytime. So it is easy for them to find a suitable, less expensive and more valuable product than you finding more prospective customers.

Take an example where you are a customer of some company. You collect more information about what you want to buy and what offers are provided plus you also see how much reliable and cost effective the product is. That’s because you know that no matter what, you will not compromise in buying it and will make sure to buy the right one that is going to be useful. The same applies to your customers too.

So when a customer tries to find some product or goods, he would simply go to Google first and type in what he is looking for. He would get a list of companies that would offer him the product. He will try accessing the first few and explore the details. He may even try calling the phone numbers available on the website. Imagine that he would access your website here. What if that it is after office hours and there was nobody to pick up that phone at your office? Yours may be a small company not having the 24 hours call center team. Does that mean you are going to miss out that important lead? Definitely YES! The customer would simply browse few more websites and contact your competitors. That’s simple. He may never call you back and you would never even know that you missed a lead.

So what kind of solution can help your company to get these leads? Maple CRM offers Zipdial Integration that lets you have a 24 hour toll free number for your company. Whatever time the lead tries to call your company on that number, the information is tracked in the CRM and Maple can send a quick message to you either on email or SMS. This would let you contact the customer immediately or according to your convenient time. Maple ensures you that you will never miss a lead who is trying to contact you.

What if the customer sends an email instead of calling? Do we have any solution for that? Oh Yes! We have something similar to the above solution called Website Integration, where in whenever the customer sends a message through your website, it will automatically be captured in the CRM system and instantly an email or an SMS can reach you or the desired sales executives to call back the customer. That’s again a solution for you to never miss out any lead and to contact the customer immediately and not letting it go off to your competitor.

Dealing with unhappy customers

Posted on by maplespeaker

If you give good response to customer complaint then you will receive complaint only once.

Complaints are good as it gives an opportunity to learn and not to repeat such issues. It enables you to improve the customer experience. The information from the complaint can be used to build a better customer experience and convert the unhappy customers into the happy ones.

Being customer focused would help in understanding the situation of the customer. This would help the customer to be calm and polite and not getting frustrated. If the employee truly focuses and understands the customer issue, then the customer would at least feel that he is being heard and understood.

Also it is important to work on the issue reported and take proper action to resolve it. It is good to first to know what would make  the customer happy. Once they put up their suggestions, verify if that could be provided. Resolve the issues quickly as possible. If an upset customer comes up with an issue and if the issue is resolved very quickly, then he would much likely be happy for the service.

Provide a tool to employees for handling customer service well. At times, there can be no option to make the unhappy customer satisfied. Such cases can be transferred to the manager or the supervisor.

Improving customer service with excellence

Posted on by maplespeaker

How you treat your customers will determine whether or not they will continue to do business with you. If you reduce the price of your product, your competitor will do the same within few hours. If you add a new product, they will do the likewise. An efficient service to your customers is the only way to make your customers happy and do business with you. This is the only proven strategy that works to give success over your competitors.

Companies offer quality products but what makes the difference to win the competition is how they provide their customers with superior customer service.

Companies don’t have to spend millions of dollars in advertising and marketing to draw customers. The business that comes from the same customers brings more profit than the money spent on advertising and marketing. Few of the steps that could benefit your organization are mentioned below:

1. Train your employees on providing efficient customer service: You have to make the employees realize about how better customer service can make a change to business. Training would give the employees the opportunity and the challenge of taking necessary decisions while taking care of the customers issue.

2. Change employees attitude and behavior: Share the examples of how customer service stands as important asset for business. Praise employees and reward employees on their efforts. This would be very simple but does make a lot of difference in employee productivity.

3. Make the words walk: It is not enough to just say “we are going to make customer service a top priority” Every individual has to focus on customer service. Your customer service strategy should be such that the customer experiences a remarkable service that makes him appreciate your business to others. This makes a great impact on business profitability.
