Excel At Marketing, Sales, Service
Technology alone doesn't offer an "instant" CRM experience -- or marketing, sales or service success. Instead, organizations that want rapid results must define their ideal business outcomes, identify current challenges and requirements, foster buy-in and then determine the best processes and tools for the job. All the while, it is critical to manage users’ and executives’ expectations and secure their participation.
Business Results First, Please
Why the obsession with business outcomes? Because no matter the CRM discipline, taking a business-results-first approach delivers real benefits:
- Marketing: Increase campaign, event and lead management by finding and sharing high-quality leads, tying campaigns to revenue and better nurturing relationships
- Sales: Increase revenue and productivity by designing optimal territories, managing pipelines, directing salespeople to the best opportunities and building stronger customer relationships
- Service: Decrease costs by improving case management, service operations and the customer experience, thus increasing customer retention and creating new opportunities for selling
Apply The CRM Excellence Framework
Now for the complication. Every CRM domain -- marketing, sales, customer service -- relies on complex, overlapping processes. Furthermore, few organizations are starting CRM programs from scratch. What should they do?
Innoveer helps answer that question using our CRM Excellence Framework that was built by benchmarking the marketing, sales and service practices of hundreds of customers, across every industry. By applying the framework -- for example, as illustrated on our blog-- Innoveer helps break down each CRM domain into actionable components, to identify where current programs lag or excel, and how to make them better.
Measure Success
Gauge CRM program success by the degree to which it improves a business’s ability to market, sell and service. Innoveer has identified five capabilities required to excel at CRM within marketing, sales and service, such as campaign management (marketing), pipeline management (sales) and case management (service), to name a few. But remember, no CRM domain or capability stands alone. Make discrete improvements in just one area -- such as improving the sales team’s relationship management capabilities -- and you’ll enable other groups and the entire CRM program to better perform.
