CRM: the best ally to boost brand performance!

Article

Whether you are a small, medium-sized enterprise or a large group, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is the indispensable tool for professionalising your contact centre. Behind this acronym lies powerful levers to create, develop, and maintain privileged relationships with each customer. Let's take a look at some key benefits.

Adaptability and integration: the strength of a CRM solution lies in its ability to adapt to the company's processes by integrating into its information system. This arrangement streamlines data dissemination and exchange while promoting collaboration and synergy among all services.

Centralised customer contacts: by centralising all customer contacts, the software allows managing different communication channels. It prevents customers from being bounced from one interlocutor to another, as all interactions with the brand are recorded. A 360° view of the customer gives brand ambassadors the keys to personalise exchanges and enhance customer satisfaction.

Technical perspective: from a technical standpoint, CRM can be considered a "ticketing tool" that organises flows to better distribute them according to certain criteria (languages, skills, schedules, geographical area, etc.). It has many features, including integrating knowledge bases to search for processes or information about products or services, enabling the most precise responses to customers. Additionally, the provision of response templates allows ambassadors to be more efficient, focus on value-added tasks, and increase productivity.

Reporting and analysis: behind the CRM, there is also reporting, which is essential for brands to monitor key indicators (accessibility, response times, productivity, etc.) to better manage and organise teams. It is also used to analyse customer strategy and identify areas for improvement. For example, understanding why the French market behaves differently from the Chinese market, tracking sales for e-commerce activities to understand seasonality, or identifying reasons for dissatisfaction to reduce the number of complaints.

Strategic importance: more than just a means to optimise processes, CRM is essential for better managing customer service activities and refining strategy. Well-chosen and used, this solution ensures quickly gaining a competitive advantage, increasing sales, retaining customers, and boosting brand awareness!
