3 What is CRM? CRM is a business strategy designed to optimise profitability, revenue, and customer satisfaction CRM = Customer Relationship Management Gartner defines CRM as a business strategy designed to optimise profitability, revenue, and customer satisfaction CRM brings together lots of pieces of information about customers, prospects and buying trends so you can: sell and market your products and services more effectively increase customer loyalty drive competitive advantage In its most basic form, CRM consists of: Helping a company to identify and target their best customers, manage marketing campaigns with clear goals and objectives and generate quality leads for the sales team Assisting the organisation to improve telesales, account and sales management by optimising information shared by multiple employees and streamlining existing processes Allowing the formation of individualised relationships with customers, with the aim of improving customer satisfaction and maximising profits, as well as identifying the most profitable customers and providing them the highest level of service Providing employees with the information and processes necessary to know their customers, understand their needs and effectively build relationships between the company, its customer base and distribution partners Even if you are a small business, CRM can benefit your business – you may want all your customer and prospect information in one place, so anyone can access it and see how that customer is going at any time; you may want a way to effectively measure the money you are spending on marketing campaigns by tracking leads to orders; you may want to be able to track your tradeshow or website leads more effectively than via the various Excel spreadsheets you may currently use; you may want a way to see at-a-glance how the sales team are doing or how the business is performing; you may want a way to let customers service their own needs through a secure web portal so you don’t need to hire more customer service staff. There are many ways having a CRM strategy and a CRM system can help you sell and market your products and services more effectively, increase customer loyalty and drive competitive advantage, no matter how big or small your company is. 3

4 Common Business Issues Faced by Companies Today
“I need a quick and easy way for me to see how the business is performing at any given time” “I want to maximise the productivity of all my employees” BUSINESS OWNER SALES MANAGER “I need to be able to calculate the cost per lead easily and accurately” “Marketing campaigns are difficult to manage and leads can go missing” MARKETING MANAGER “I need to know what the sales pipeline looks like quickly and easily” “It take me ages to roll up all the reps’ forecasts into a team forecast for my boss” Common business issues affect all areas of the business whether sales, the business owner, marketing, customer service or the back office. Daily challenges such as forecasting and pipeline management, marketing campaign management and the provision of customer service present a myriad of problems for individuals across the business from sales and marketing to business owners themselves. Yet, with technology such as CRM, organisations are able to manage their customer information in a single, easy-to-use solution that if integrated into existing financial systems, provides users with a single version of the truth. This means that all users whether marketing, sales, customer service or back-office, can manage their customers in a more holistic way, be more productive, and drive the business forward more successfully. Above are just a few examples of the issues that face businesses but the central challenge is the ability to access relevant and meaningful information on customers and business insight in an easy-to-use system. That is why CRM is so valuable to a business. SALES EXECUTIVE “We don’t have an up to date log of all communications with customers” “Our processes are not automated so customer issues sometimes fall through the cracks” “Sales forecasts are difficult to create and time-consuming” “I sometimes spend my whole morning trying to figure out who I’m meant to follow-up with and when” CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK OFFICE “I want to have access to the same customer information the front office has so I understand any customer issues when I am chasing payments” “I don’t want to be wasting time re-entering the same information into multiple places”

5 Why Do Companies Experience These Difficulties?
CRM can help address these issues by bringing all elements together Outlook Marketing Remote Workers Finance Sales CRM Many companies have information stored in disparate data sources and are unable to bring them together in a holistic way. By keeping data in silos - as many SMBs do as their businesses grow - users are unable to get a unified picture of the business. This presents difficulties for all types of users but in particular managers that are unable to get a view of their entire business because information is spread across organisation. Therefore, SMBs should look to bring these data sources together through technology like CRM. Using CRM allows these data sources to be brought into a single system to provide all users with access to all relevant information. In turn this allows managers and business owners to get a much more holistic view of their business across marketing, finance, customer services or sales. User Customer information is typically held in disparate locations right across the company – leading to a myriad of problems

6 Sales force automation
Evolution of CRM Sales force automation Rolodex Outlook CRM Where has CRM come from? CRM started with a simple, contact management in the form of Rolodex. With the advent of MS Outlook and the evolution of contact management systems, sales reps were able to better manage their contacts and customer information but soon wanted more. Sales Force Automation enabled sales teams to manage leads and opportunities better, to track their progress against targets and to create forecasts more easily. Sales Force Automation extended beyond the Sales Dept with Marketing automation for the Marketing team (to improve lead management and enable the calculation of cost per lead and marketing RoI) and Customer Service and Support automation for the Customer Service dept. (to improve customer satisfaction, monitor SLAs and reduce customer support costs). Before long, SFA had evolved into CRM. Full Suite CRM combines sales, marketing and customer service automation to provide a complete view of the business. Initially the domain of the larger enterprises, Sage, as leader in business management software for the SMB, pioneered CRM for SMBs and today offers a choice of CRM solutions to meet every and all SMB needs. CRM has continued to evolve from an internal system to an external system that can be extended outside the organisation to suppliers, partners and customers. The growth in the web and self-service sites for customers has driven online customer collaboration, and leading CRM systems such as Sage CRM enable third parties to service their own information needs and requirements (e.g. order or delivery status) via secure self-service portals. By integrating with existing back office systems, Sage CRM can provide a complete view of the business across front and back office, providing better business insight and management. Extended enterprise collaboration

7 CRM Provides Insight Sales Marketing CRM Customers Distribution Finance Insight CRM provides organisations with insight into all areas of the business whether sales, marketing, or customer service. CRM with ERP integration delivers added value with insight into back-office data held in distribution and finance. By capturing customer data in a CRM system, all users have access to the same critical customer information to gain insight to drive the business forward, automate business processes, reduce staff admin, and improve customer loyalty and lifetime value. By taking advantage of easy-to-use graphical interfaces, users have access to information that provides a picture of the business, sales, marketing or customer service operations, or at an even more granular level each sales opportunity, service issue or marketing campaign. Furthermore, CRM helps sales and marketing segment and identify customers to target. Through easy to produce and read reports, CRM helps all users run reports for immediate insight into business performance, while graphical tools enable users to assimilate information at a glance. Dashboards deliver relevant information straight to the user, so they can keep track of critical to-do’s, sales opportunities, call logs, campaign metrics or whatever data is most relevant ton them. Customer Service CRM delivers insight into customer information across multiple departments – for a holistic view of the customer 7 7

8 CRM Improves Productivity
Outlook Finance Sales Distribution Customer Service Marketing Productivity CRM helps automate many previous manual and time consuming tasks freeing up staff to focus on the job in hand. Moreover, by streamlining processes, businesses reduce the risk of duplication of time and data and make updating information faster and more efficient. Furthermore, with staff in and out of the office and the widespread use of the internet and mobile devices, CRM can be made accessible anytime, anywhere so time is maximised, information is made available and business can be more productive. A good CRM system will integrate with MS Outlook, the main and calendar application for many users today, to drive productivity by all users across the organisation. CRM should also enable mobile laptop and device access for employees on the road, thus ensuring maximum productivity as remote workers can access and update the system on the move. This is further optimised if CRM is integrated into ERP. By doing this, staff dealing with customers can provide a better customer service, offer up-to-date information, provide competitive pricing, provide clear timeframes for delivery – ensuring customer service is high. By being more productive, SMBs will provide outstanding customer service thereby ensuring better loyalty and retention rates but also increased likelihood of winning deals. CRM that integrates with MS Outlook and delivers employees on the road with always-available access to critical customer data ensures maximum productivity 8 8 8

9 CRM Facilitates Collaboration
Internal External Sales Marketing Support Finance Customers & Partners CRM Collaboration Using a single CRM system across the business enables all parts of the organisation to have a complete view of every customer. Sales and marketing can build campaigns to target specific customers and customer service staff can pull up the most up-to-date information on customers. Web self-service capabilities can make CRM accessible to partners, suppliers and customers to create a collaborative environment where third parties can access critical information and service their own needs (be it updated delivery status, reprinting invoices, reordering brochures or tracking a support request) at their convenience. This enables collaboration across the extended enterprise of front office, back office, customers and partners – everyone who touches the customer in some shape or form. By sharing certain information with external users in a secure and controlled manner, they can make decisions that can have a positive impact on all businesses, as well as – most importantly – the customer. Customers can keep up to date with their order online and suppliers can improve their own forecasting. Collaboration fosters greater customer retention and loyalty with the old adage that it is six times more expensive to gain new customers than retain existing customers - so CRM pays for itself quickly. Web self-service CRM facilitates internal and external collaboration for maximum customer satisfaction 9 9

10 CRM Delivers Competitive Advantage
Departmental Collaboration Departmental Customer Insight Departmental Productivity & Efficiency Multiple views of the customer One dimensional insight Disparate Systems Single view of the customer Extended Enterprise Collaboration 360 degree Customer Insight Org-wide Productivity & Efficiency 3600 insight COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Competitive Advantage The problem with disparate systems is they deliver a one-dimensional or siloed view of data. When multiple front office and back office departments are all working off different systems, multiple views of the customer can exist that don’t offer a true holistic view. A truly integrated CRM system that stretches across front office and back office functions, enables extended enterprise collaboration, delivers a 360 degree view of the customer and enables organisation-wide productivity and efficiency – delivering a single version of the truth and driving competitive advantage for the business. When CRM is deployed, it can deliver a real competitive advantage. Whether it is gaining insights into buying trends and customer segmentation, making more productive marketing campaigns and customer service, or sharing information across the business or with partners, suppliers and customers, users of CRM can gain competitive advantage. A recent Gartner study found that 40 per cent of respondents use CRM to gain a competitive advantage, while another large proportion use it to gain parity in a tough and crowded marketplace. CRM CRM delivers a single view of the customer for better customer relationship management, delivering real competitive advantage 10 10 10

11 What CRM Can Do for You the User
BUSINESS OWNER SALES MANAGER MARKETING MANAGER SALES EXECUTIVE CRM brings together all the business areas and users within a business – sales, business owners, marketing, customer service and back-office – together in a single system. By providing users with a single system to analyse and review customer information all users are able to easily understand each customer. Consequently, all business areas can be more productive and collaborative, as well as provide insights into each customer to help the front office and the back office make better decisions. Moreover, it helps the business owner get a view into the overall performance of the business and to help make strategic decisions. CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK OFFICE 11 11 11

12 Challenges for the Sales Executive
Tracking opportunities Identifying the best opportunities to focus on Identifying cross-sell and up-sell opportunities Forecasting accurately Knowing every day what sales opportunities to focus on Reporting on the pipeline efficiently Understanding where opportunities are in the pipeline Having visibility on customer interaction across multiple departments Generating quotes and orders Avoiding inputting the same data into multiple systems Above are some of the most common challenges that face sales reps or executives. Their priorities lie in closing sales opportunities and therefore the largest frustrations revolve around identifying and understanding the opportunities to focus on. Moreover, given the pressures they face, they are also eager to make the most of the time they have to close deals and speak to customers/prospects. Updating systems more often than not means it is often left to the last minute, ignored, done poorly or results in multiple data entry. Generating quotes, orders and forecasts are often time-consuming and painful – but need to be turned around quickly and easily.

ERP integration adds – Sales staff have access ERP-powered functionality such as accurate pricing for quotes and orders, fulfilment data, and complex pricing rules and discounts normally held in the back office system only. Financial and non-financial information is held in the one place for a 360 degree of the customer. Why - Allows sales teams to effectively manage, forecast and report on all phases of the sales cycle; gives sales staff a true 360 degree view of the customer across front and back office systems for better account management.

14 Challenges for the Sales Manager
Identifying the biggest opportunities Unearthing hidden opportunities Tracking sales across territories and reps Creating team and individual forecasts quickly and easily Tracking and measuring sales representative performance Developing a more effective sales team Having instant access to up-to-date sales data and communications history Access to real-time figures on sales performance and pipeline Minimising sales administration and maximising sales staff productivity Sales managers are tasked with controlling and overseeing the sales team within the organisation and are constantly seeking ways to make their teams more productive and efficient. They need instant access to and analysis of the pipeline and sales opportunities so they can analyse the data and make decisions that will help their teams meet their goals. Without having up-to-date information and views into the sales pipeline, sales managers are effectively managing in the dark. They need information to identify key opportunities and direct resources to close those opportunities. They need to be able to roll up individual forecasts quickly and easily, something that is often time-consuming and painful to do.

15 How CRM Helps the Sales Manager
Dashboards deliver sales management a unified view of all key sales information Improves transparency in the sales pipeline Real-time pipeline management ensures focussed sales activity Enables quick and easy team forecast generation and improves sales forecast accuracy Enables regular sales performance monitoring Reduces opportunity slippage Optimises sales resources against high-potential opportunities Maximises cross and up-sell opportunities Empowers sales staff to sell more effectively Enables sales staff to focus on the most important sales opportunities Minimises sales administration and maximises sales staff productivity How CRM helps the Sales Manager: Improves sales forecast accuracy Optimises sales resources against high-potential opportunities Improves visibility on key performance metrics Delivers more effective coaching and mentoring Improves visibility of sales performance Leads to improved qualification techniques Leads to reduced cost-per-sale Reduces end-of-period opportunity slippage Enables adoption of best-practice opportunity management Facilitates “lessons learnt” analysis Sales Force Automation What - CRM enables easy access to and management of all current and historical account details, activities and opportunities and automatically distributes leads to sales reps so they know what to follow up with by when. Point-and-click reporting and graphs offer sales managers access to real-time data for on-the-spot pipeline analysis and evaluation. Sales dashboards deliver sales managers with instant visibility of sales performance, status of key opportunities and the overall health of the pipeline.

16 Challenges for the Business Owner
Extracting more value out of the business Having insight and reports into business performance Identifying the top customers by revenue and profitability Having complete visibility of customers, pipeline and margins Analysing sales performance across multiple criteria Moving from overview forecast data to detailed underlying information with ease Combining actual campaign results with actual campaign costs to quantify marketing performance Having a complete view of business performance across front and back office Strategic planning – planning for the future One of the biggest fears for a business owner is not being able to know what is going on in their business. Yet, many business owners of SMBs do not have complete visibility especially if the organisation is growing quickly. Many business owners have the core disciplines – sales, marketing etc – but they fail to bring them together in a single system. In doing so they spend so much time trying to find information that the ability to analyse the data and make decisions is slowed down. SMBs need to move quickly – their flexibility is their advantage over large organisations – but many are unable to move fast enough due to having to piece together the data rather than having access to a unified view of how the business is performing so that they can make well-informed decisions today as well as strategically plan for tomorrow.

17 How CRM Helps the Business Owner
Reports provide instant insight into business performance across multiple criteria Delivers the ability to “sanity check” forecast data with full drill-down to underlying details Enables easy insight into revenue/budget variance Enables real-time corporate performance management/insight at-a-glance through dashboards Improves responsiveness to critical business issues Improves sales forecast accuracy and pipeline management Marketing budget and return-on-investment can be monitored in real-time Drives revenue business efficiency and performance leading to increased revenue growth and profitability Leverages financial information from the front and back-office for a complete view of the business CRM is also not just a departmental level application, but also can provide complete snapshots of all areas of the business so that business owners can track all front office and, through integration, back office activity. Below are some examples of how CRM can help Business Owners/MDs/CEOs: Sales – Business owners can configure their CRM tool to provide snapshots of the sales opportunities, pipeline, forecasting, margins and profitability of sales. This snapshot can be delivered through interactive charts for deeper analysis, but also issued in reports. In terms of key opportunities, these can be flagged so the business owner can get involved/provide advice in order to close opportunities. Consequently, CRM can help increase customer acquisition rates, improve sales conversion rates and reduce customer attrition rates. Marketing – Like sales, business owners can keep track on the stage or performance of marketing campaigns. This enables them to liaise with the marketing people on queries they have or if additional support is needed to ensure it is successful. Customer service – Keeping track on SLAs is critical to ensuring customer loyalty and that customers receive a good service. For after-sales support business owners can keep track of queries and if trends appear take appropriate action. Operations management – For business owners responsible for all operations, CRM provides visibility into the performance of the business, sales opportunities, forecasts, trends, customer insights, customer service levels, SLAs and marketing campaigns. This enables them to get a handle on all aspects of the business in a simple, easy to use tool. In particular, it can allow business owners to respond to issues quickly before they escalate.

18 Challenges for the Marketing Manager
Segmenting customers Defining highly targeted marketing lists across multiple criteria Tracking marketing campaign performance against targets and budget Managing and re-deploying marketing campaigns quickly and efficiently Identifying success rates at-a-glance Identifying and targeting strong leads Measuring cost-per-lead and marketing ROI Marketing managers are primarily focused on lead generation, opening up new markets and deploying effective and well targeted campaigns to create opportunities. To do this, they need speeding access to all customer data and the ability to analyse it. Few marketing managers have the tools in place to do so quickly and effectively. Indeed, many marketing managers to do not have the ability to track campaigns against budgets or performance, success rates or cost-per-lead. Marketing managers want to be able to quickly and easily deploy, manage and track campaigns and easily measure marketing ROI.

20 Challenges for the Customer Service Manager
Easily tracking SLAs Measuring and improving team performance and productivity Making customer support cost-efficient Resolving customer issues quickly Easily identify critical customer issues requiring urgent attention Increasing customer satisfaction and retention rates Monitoring customer service performance in real time Reducing the amount of time spent on customer service administration Knowledge and information sharing across teams Ensuring no customer issues ‘fall through the cracks’ Successfully cross and up-selling during calls The major challenges facing customer service managers are ensuring that SLAs are met and customer service levels are maintained. Unless they have clear metrics and the ability to track against SLAs then the quality of service is hard to quantify. Moreover, customer service personal often have an opportunity to up sell or cross sell products based on buying habits and customer history records but unless this information is easily accessible then customer service personal are unable to meet the demands of customers. In addition, this experience from the customer can be frustrating having a knock-on to future sales opportunities. Finally, without data on customer service, managers are unable to spot trends in calls and rectify them before they become bigger than necessary.

21 How CRM Helps the Customer Service Manager

How CRM helps the Customer Service Manager: Enables customer satisfaction measurement and benchmarking Increases productivity of customer support representatives Provides self service to customers around common issues Ensures issues never “get lost between the cracks” Monitors service performance against service level agreements Enables customer issues to be tracked and responded to, regardless of who answers the phone or received the Reduces customer support costs through automation Improves response times to customer service requests  Reduces hold times for customers requiring customer support  Reduces the average time to resolve an issue Increases the number of queries resolved on first contact rate Leads to decreased number of service escalations Decreases the number of customer complaints received Extends customer service through 24x7 self service options  Enables benchmarking / scorecarding of customer service operations on an on-going basis Leads to increased customer retention Leads to decreased cost of customer retention Below are some examples of how CRM can help customer service: Customer service dashboard – CRM presents information that is important to customer service managers in a format that makes sense to them. They can view all of the cases that they are working on at the moment, with full drill down. They can review the case load that has been assigned and can also review cases in the customer service pipeline and Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Solution solving – In the event of an issue, CRM can host solutions to problems so that customer service managers can quickly review solutions and act accordingly to resolve the issue. CRM reduces the average time to resolve an issue and increases the number of queries resolved on first contact rate. In the event a solution is not available, service managers can resolve the situation in their own way and then provide an update solution into the CRM system for the ‘next time’. Reporting – CRM can produce a suite of out-of-the-box ‘Customer Care’ reports. These reports include: Cases in breach of SLA, Case stage by company and Open case by agent. They can also create their own custom reports if required. Self service – CRM can also be extended to customers through web self-service. By logging on to a portal, customers can view the status of outstanding support issues as well as add new ones. It is also very easy to enable customers to use this facility while at the same time, restricting customers access to only the parts of the CRM system that the company wishes them to view. From Sage CRM 21

22 Challenges for the Back Office
Having a central place for information Giving back-office staff access to non-financial customer information to enable them to resolve issues and queries promptly when talking to customers Access to complete customer communications history (usually held in the front office) to enhance ability to effectively chase payments Reducing duplication of effort to minimise mistakes and improve productivity Speeding up routine tasks Where businesses struggle is creating end-to-end business processes that ensure the customer experience is consistent and maximised across the front office and the back office. Often back-office staff do not have access to core customer data held in the front office. They don’t have access to the full picture on customers meaning they are less efficient when chasing payment and have less opportunity to cross or up-sell when dealing with customers. Additionally, back office staff often have to re-enter customer data, duplicating effort, minimising productivity and increasing the margin for error.

23 How CRM Helps the Back Office
Saves time and minimises mistakes by avoiding duplication of data entry Improves customer service by using a single point of reference for sales orders Credit control and the sales team have access to the same financial information which enables them both to chase outstanding debt when dealing with customers Ensures a fast response to significant events and routine tasks using alerts Improves customer service by giving the back office access to key customer information such as buying patterns and communications history CRM with back office ERP integration delivers an optimised, cost-efficient and customer-centric front-to-back-office process. By automating and integration the lead to cash process, businesses are better able to manage their customers, chase payments and cross and up-sell to customers. Below are some examples of how CRM can help the Back Office: Outstanding creditor information is available at a glance through your CRM Dashboard. Integration allows accounts staff to access the critical non-financial customer information, behaviour and buying history usually held within the sales department, enabling them to resolve issues and queries promptly. Sales orders can be processed quickly and efficiently, using a single point of reference. Sales staff cannot take further orders where an account is on-hold. Debtor days can be reduced, as both the credit control team and your sales team have the financial information which enables them to chase outstanding debt. Enables once-only data entry, whereby a customer’s details are input only once through your CRM system and then automatically updated across the ERP and CRM system. It also works the other way round, with new or amended entries in the ERP system automatically updating the CRM database. Not only does this save time by reducing duplication of effort, it also means that potential mistakes and conflicting data are minimised. Administrators’ time is saved, improving productivity and efficiency. Alerts and notifications can be built in to ensure a fast response to significant events or routine tasks such as the requirement to complete a credit check before opening an account. CRM and ERP integration can be used to help manage the quality control process by ensuring that staff and suppliers are chased at the appropriate time, utilising a structure of reminders and notes, rather than relying on staff’s memories and manual systems. Documents can be stored centrally within the integrated CRM and ERP system and where appropriate, they can be linked to a customer’s, supplier’s or third-party’s records. Documents that require action can be recorded with reminders ensuring that the follow ups are performed on time. Key customer information such as credit limits, buying patterns and queries are available to the back office – improving customer communication and service and the visibility to chase overdue payments.
