CRM System ! Do I Need One?

By -

Greetings of the day from SalesMantra.com !!!

As you are aware that in today’s dynamic market pace, organizations have to be in pace with the newly emerging trends and practices. A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is also one of such tools which are vital for every organization who have a sales team of 2 or more people. Now days, people feels CRM synonymous to ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). Here comes a big NO from our side. Though the two are similar, but not the same.  

Entrepreneurs overlook the need of implementing CRM in their organization assuming that:
  • ·         Our organization is not big enough to install a CRM or ERP.
  • ·         It will cost lakhs (or crores sometimes) of rupees.
  • ·         Monitoring Sales Force by excel sheet reports is as good as monitoring them through CRM.
Rather, it’s the only tool in market place which provides a realistic platform to monitor sales executives and their day to activities. As we have mentioned earlier, cost of implementing CRM is very negligible when we compare it with the benefits coming out of that CRM. 

Let’s make it clear by a proper cost-benefit analysis in which we are comparing the cost incurred in implementing SalesMantra with the benefits coming out of it.

Sales Funnel Management

  A sales funnel is a visual representation of the journey from your prospect’s first contact with you until a completed purchase. It helps your sales team understand where they need to follow up or alter the sales process due to drop off in the funnel. Sales Mantra does have a feature of Sales Funnel Management which helps the sales reps to manage their prospects as cold and hot. A sales funnel is directly connected to the customer journey phases, which can be sorted into three parts: top, middle, and bottom. This can translate into the sales funnel structure on your part as prospects going through Untouched > Contact made (Leads)  > Qualified > Proposal Presented > Negotiation > Won. Top-performing sales reps know the steps of their sales funnel inside out, from cold calling to finalizing the sale. There are two key reasons for this: They can address customer’s key needs and deliver the right message at the right time, and They can scale their sales ...

Complexities of doing business in present environment

By -
While the competition is hotting up, it is becoming increasingly difficult to retain and control the people working with the organisation, inspite of the employee cost being high. The cost of doing business with a new customer is five times the amount of doing business with an existing customer. While new customers have to be developed, the existing customers are to be nurtured for realizing their full potential.

Business Intelligence Improved Substantially

Large team can only be controlled, monitored or managed by technology to grow with pace in the competitive market and taking small steps towards digitalization and virtualization helps to achieve big goals.     Without software, sales and service persons will update data in excel or any other format, which is actually crude way of storing data, liable to loss of information, calculation mistakes etc. Getting reports through excel, email or printed reports eats your valuable time and increase cost of a resource to consolidate & print reports. Whereas Software gives you real time reports and reduce the human error to minimum level. Reports and Analytics are the pulse of any organization which provides insights in the financial health of the companies. They provide objectivity to any operation and help the management to keep a close look on the performance and the results of strategic decisions.  Sales Mantra is an exceptional tool fo...
