ABOUT CRM

What is a CRM?

Customer Relationship Management

Every business has a database of existing and prospective clients. Traditionally this would have been stored on paper, in a filing cabinet. A system which eventually transitioned to electronic format and is now known as a database. For small businesses this often begins life as a simple spreadsheet but as the business grows, the spreadsheet can limit the insights and leverage that it can gain from its customer and prospect records, therefore limiting its growth. Here is where the power of CRM takes over.

Frequently asked questions about CRM

How can a CRM help my business?

A CRM offers the technology and structure to manage interactions with the customers and prospects in your database in a way that just isn’t possible using a spreadsheet.

It will enable you to:

  • Automate & personalise communications
  • Automate repetitive tasks
  • Enable your teams to align their approach with clients and prospects
  • Improve customer relationships
  • Increase sales
  • Effectively compete against rivals that are already using CRM

I don’t have the time to transition my database to a CRM!

There are many user-friendly CRMs aimed at small businesses. Crucially, any invested time will be repaid back to you continuously throughout the operation, management and growth of your business.

Aren't CRM's expensive?

What might deter a business from investing in a CRM? Simply put: it is an additional cost. However, refraining from investing in a CRM to save money is usually a false economy due to the increased efficiency and growth in sales that are directly associated with the introduction of a CRM into your business. There are a range of cheap and easy-to-use CRMs available to small businesses interested in improving business on all fronts. A CRM is essential to any business operating in the digital space.
