This article explains why you need Client Relationship Management (CRM) and
a system to manage your CRM activities. So, why is CRM so important?
Because customers are the lifeblood of your business. Whether you're a
consultancy, creative agency or any other type of organisation that works on
projects, you are always in contact with people and working on live
projects. For your project based business you need more info on your clients
than just address details. You need details on all activities in your
project lifecycle - from the calls your sales executives make to the
progress of your project manager once a project has initiated.
You most likely have hundreds, if not thousands, of companies and contacts
you want to stay in touch with and inform about your business. When using a
CRM system you will be able to segment these contacts, personalize your
communication with them and analyze your CRM activities. This all leads to
improved communication with clients and prospects.
You can also save significant time by having all of your client and prospect
information in one system. Some departments - sales, marketing and
accounting - may currently all have their own separate systems where they
store data. Sharing data between these systems can become costly and time
consuming, and the risk of errors when re-keying this data is high.
Your Client Relationship Management system will provide all these
departments with the same up-to-date information and any changes made will
be instantly visible by all of your departments.
