To ensure sustainable growth for your company, youโ€™ll have to pay close attention to you relationship with your customers. You have to secure a sense of trust which also has to be long-standing.

This is impossible to accomplish without proper customer relationship management. It has to be efficient and effective with instant access. Contrary to popular thought, the purpose of having a CRM goes far beyond just keeping your customers happy. This brief article will help you understand the benefits that CRM can offer to a company.

๐Ÿญ. ๐—”๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„๐˜€ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ง๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ
Research suggests that about 50% of customers are ready to pay more for a good customer experience. Even the โ€œbestโ€ products are only as good as the customer service that comes with the sale.
A good CRM solution accounts for the difference between annoying a customer with promotions and maintaining a relationship. The interactions that you have with your customer after the sale are the most important. Because they now trust your brand and are ready to engage with you again.

๐Ÿฎ. ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
You can increase profits up to 25% โ€“ 80% simply by increasing your customer retention rate by 5%. An effective CRM should instantly address the problems and also approach satisfied customers with new offers at the right moment.
Satisfied purchases will keep your customers coming back for more. The time you spend on building trust with your existing customers will keep paying your dividends for years to come.

๐Ÿฏ. ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€
Without good CRM in play, the chances of converting your leads to sales are pretty slim. Regular sales reps do not have sufficient experience to identify which leads are the hottest.
You have to make the most of your marketing tools such as social media and emails by bringing them to a common CRM platform. This will help you identify and target engaging conversations that can turn prospects into customers.

๐Ÿฐ. ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—–๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ข๐—ณ ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€
The chances of selling a product to a new prospect are just 5% โ€“ 20%. This rate almost triples when youโ€™re selling it to an existing customer. New customers are essential for a growing business but theyโ€™re certainly not cheap.
There are ways for you to offset the cost of acquiring new customers. You can upsell, cross-sell, and offer renewals to your existing customer base to tally the expenses. Thanks to the trust that you have earned through your CRM, youโ€™ll now see a huge increase in repeat sales.

๐Ÿฑ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜€
A survey by SalesForce says that about 46% of sales leaders pledge their success to deep customer rapport. You have to plan and set-up your CRM on top of three vital ground rules. Firstly, youโ€™ll have to explore the challenges that your customers face and come up with solutions.
Next, youโ€™ll have to engage your customers with products or services that are relevant to their needs. Finally, focus on offering a 1-to-1 relationship because customers love personal bonding. A personal follow-up by the same person can help you see instant growth in sales. Custom email templates, setting up task reminders, and periodic phone calls are all part of this process.

๐Ÿฒ. ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐—ข๐—ณ ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐˜€
The biggest mistake that most new companies make is overloading their employees with heavy tasks. As a result, they do not get enough time to engage with customers. When companies realise this, itโ€™s often too late.
Hunting for leads or entering data is something that you can now completely automate. By doing this, you can allow your employees to do something that really matters which is to organically connect with your prospects. You also have to strengthen the connection you have with your existing customer base to maximise repeat sales.

Good customer relationship management is the single most critical thing that a business needs to move its sales needle. Every single effort that you put into your company would be meaningless if not for this.

If you go too far, it sounds like you are pushing them into making a sale. But again if you donโ€™t try enough, you could lose all the time and effort youโ€™ve put into nurturing the customer. Still worried about what CRM solutions to go with? You can schedule a Free Consultation that CTS is offering to sort things out.

10 questions that will give you an indication of whether or not your business
needs a CRM solution.

1. Are all your customer interactions and the information (in the form of letters, forms, documents, emails, etc.) stored in one convenient location and accessible to everyone in the organisation?
2. Are you certain that all leads in the sales pipeline are being followed up?
3. Are you able to coordinate specific marketing campaigns and follow up activities along with the sales team?
4. Are you currently able to generate accurate information on forecasts/ pipeline on a short notice?
5. Are you currently able to view all sales activity and results at the click of a button?
6. Can you currently accurately identify the areas of the sales process in which most sales are lost?
7. Are your sales people able to access customer information when they are out of the office?
8. Do you know how many deals you lost last quarter and why you lost them?
9. Do you know how many customer service issues each customer had and why?
10. Are you happy with the amount of time your sales people spend currently on administrative tasks?

If you answered โ€œnoโ€ to any of these questions then itโ€™s probably a good idea to take a more in depth look at small business CRM software and the benefits it can bring your business.

Facebook has grown in to a cultural and financial phenomenon. With a user base that now exceeds 2 billion active monthly users, Facebook has risen to become the worldโ€™s 6th most valuable company.

In 2008, Facebook launched business pages; a chance for businesses of every size and industry to reach a massive new audience, build a following, and potentially convert new customers.

In 2011, Facebook ads began appearing in peoplesโ€™ News Feed for the first time. Then last year, Facebook made a major change to its News Feed algorithm, essentially transitioning from a social network to a paid advertising platform for businesses. The update put a larger emphasis on posts from family and friends, stunting the organic reach of Business pages. Today, almost all the updates that appear from businesses in the News Feed are paid.

This has been a widely successful strategy for Facebook, now the second largest advertising seller behind Google. In Q1 2017, it posted a record $8 billion in revenue. But Facebookโ€™s CFO, David Ebersman, has warned that the amount of ads Facebook show its users is reaching a saturation point. For the company to continue to grow, it needs to find new revenue streams.

A lot of people expect that once they start their business it will be an instant success, this is possible but not probable. You must be ready to WORK HARD your business is never going to get off the ground if you donโ€™t work your arse off!!!

The best things you can do to grow your business is to be building it in an online space to get your name out there as well as creating a community of people local to you.

Obviously things will always differ from business to business, for example some people donโ€™t have a physical shop and only have their business online, but you can still create this local community that can buy from you regularly. If you can give them a good enough experience they will come back!

Building awareness is a very important part of your business, but trust is so essential, without any kind of credibility no one is going to be willing to even give your service or product a shot. Facebook groups/ pages are an amazing way to build this trust with people, if they can see if youโ€™re active, your reviews, your website, opening hours, this all build credibility!!

SEO is a vital part of having a business online, we all know Google has the monopoly on search engines so why would you not want your business to show up on there? Having your business on Facebook will instantly boost your SEO and the more information such as a phone number, business location, website address etc you have on your page the better!

Facebook ads can be daunting at first but the more you use them the easier they get and the better you get at using them! You can target your ads to such a specific audience regardless of how niche a product or service you have, Facebook ads will be able to find customers for you.

Zoom have now introduced a new platform they are creating called OnZoom, its very much like YouTube in the way that you pre record and upload videos to your page but there are differences between the two.

Mainly the fact that you can charge a fee before someone is able to watch your video, as well as being able to host events and go live just like you normally would in Zoom.

This is in beta and OnZoom is currently only accepting Host applications from Zoom users in the U.S. with a Pro license (or higher) and a U.S. Billing address. Once this comes out of beta UK users will be able to use the new features.

This is going to be a huge platform for creators or business owners that are trying to inform people or teach a certain class about a service or product.

We will definitely try and break out into this new market as all of you should as well! This a huge opportunity for anyone looking to create video content and monetise it.
