3. You have too many touchpoints
Email, phone, social media, support tickets, live chat, messenger apps… the list of communication tools available to customers today is long.
The difficult part? You may lose track of who said what, when and where.
When you document all interactions with customers, prospects and leads, you simplify communication. And this in turn has a positive effect on support, marketing and sales. And the best part? You can still offer customers all communication channels. The main thing is that all messages end up in the right inbox.
4. Customers complain about your service/support
Customer complaints can be of many different types, but they all boil down to one thing: frustration with the way you communicate with them. Customers may not have enough information to hand, or may have to repeat their concerns several times, or they may have interacted with multiple employees, each of whom said something different.
This is another reason why centralized customer data storage can save your life: No more confusion and duplication, no matter how many sales or support staff you have. They all use the same database with the same japan code phone information. And it's updated in real time.
5. Manual data entry is time-consuming and error-prone
Manually updating multiple systems not only takes time, but also increases the likelihood of errors. Duplicate entries, typos, and other errors can lead to lost orders and customers in the long run.
With a CRM, you can easily collect customer data (e.g. via a web form) and automatically import it into the system. It's quick and efficient, and you can even integrate your CRM with other tools like email, calendar and social media apps.
6. Manual reporting also
Data entry isn't the only process you can automate : it's just as easy to pull data out of the CRM when you create reports. Because everything is stored in one place, you get meaningful, filterable reports. Want to see only specific information like deals closed last quarter, daily MQLs and SQLs, or support requests answered by each agent? No problem with custom reports.
7. You find it difficult to focus on the right leads
Prospecting customers is difficult enough, but identifying the most valuable leads for your business shouldn't be impossible. With a CRM, you can categorize customers into different lists based on their spending, their annual budget, or the products they regularly purchase. This will help you identify their needs early and increase your sales as your sales reps can take advantage of up- and cross-selling opportunities and strengthen existing relationships with the right data.
