The Importance of Being a CRM-er

A CRM-er, before we get down to it, is a person or company who has made the wise decision of using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) solution to enhance their business.

To become a CRM-er, one would need to fully understand how a software solution that manages relationships can enhance business. But first you have to embrace positive change and be prepared for your business to accelerate, simply because a CRM solution that is worth its weight in salt will increase customer retention, competitive advantage, efficiency and company profits, help improve customer service through building and maintaining relationships, and streamline the sales process.

Now that the criteria for joining the CRM club have been discussed, the next real question to answer is WHY? Why should a company join the club? Why is it so important to be a CRM-er?
To put it simply, being a CRM-er is of vital importance for any business that wants existing clients to be happy and new clients to join in their droves. No matter what line of business you are in, you will never succeed without happy, shiny customers.
Knowing how to maximise your business potential ties in tightly with knowing what’s on your customers’ (long standing, newly new and potential) minds. A CRM solution is the all-seeing eye into your customers’ preferences, opinions, wants and dislikes. Happy client = happy company.
Customer Relationship Management is important – there is no other way around this. It is a fact of life.
