How to Maximise the Value of Your CRM System


Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has been a boon for companies seeking a viable vehicle, strategy and method to create, build and manage long-term relationships with customers.

However, for early adopters, investing in CRM was a costly exercise (although prices have decreased in recent years as vendors compete fiercely for customer dollars, especially in the small to medium sized market segment). Nevertheless, many companies have taken this step of incorporating CRM into their day-to-day operations. Now, a few years down the road, the needs of many these same businesses have evolved, requiring more advanced CRM solutions.
They are looking for more user-friendly CRM applications with more features and analytical capabilities to improve business performance, the quality of customer service, and the quality of generated data.

In these uncertain economic times, business buyers are exercising more caution and tighter grips over budget allocations. Thus, before committing to spending more money on new CRM applications and IT staff, many companies are exploring the possibility of squeezing more value out of existing CRM solutions.

Following are some issues to consider and/or to discuss with your vendor before investing in a new CRM system:

1. When was the last time you upgraded your CRM system? Is your business using the most recent release and/or powerful version? Do compare the latest offering of those provided by your CRM vendor with what you are currently using. If the newer version contain features and functionality which your business needs, then upgrading your CRM system may be the preferable option as it will be less time-consuming and costly compared to replacing it.

2. When you first bought your CRM system, were there any enhancements or features which you chose not to purchase? Does your business require it/them now? Evaluate whether implementing these features will give you the same benefits and functionality as compared to if you were to install a new CRM system.

3. Does your CRM system come with reporting and analytic features? Are these features still relevant or do you need to upgrade them? It should also be noted that there are many third-party business intelligence and analytical software packages currently available which are designed to work with existing CRM systems. It is worthwhile to check out your options before committing to any investment in your CRM system.

Reporting and analytic CRM capabilities are the tools which raw data collected from your system to be mined, processed, analysed and transformed into valuable information and intelligence about your customers' behaviours, wants, needs, and preferences. These insights are important to guide your marketing, sales and customer service strategies and to ensure that activities undertaken have a higher chance of success of having the desired effects on the desired target market. Information gathered and analysed can also be used as feedback to create and improve services and products, as well as act as a catalyst for business process improvements.
