The catalyst for growth, if you will. It lets you connect with customers across every major touchpoint: marketing, sales and service. You’re at the point where investing in a CRM solution seems like an smart choice. But you’re still wondering, “What are some practical ways a CRM will make my life easier and help my business grow?” I’ve compiled a list of the top 15 benefits of CRM to help you visualize what a CRM can do for you. ![Advantages of CRM Software]() ## Top Benefits of CRM Since every company is unique, each one will see different benefits and varying levels of impact. That said, the list below represents some of the most common benefits of CRM software. So it’s a safe bet these apply to your situation. ### 1\. Retain More Customers It’s easy to think attracting new customers is the most important thing you can do for your business. In truth, customer retention is where you’ll find the greatest impact. Plenty of statistics have shown the value of customer retention (see the article linked above for some examples). It’s even the central player in overall growth, [says Shantanu Narayen](https://www.adnews.com.au/news/retention-is-the-new-growth-says-adobe-ceo), Adobe’s CEO. How does CRM make a difference? It’s simple: it helps you manage your customer relationships at every stage and touchpoint. A lot of the CRM advantages we’ll look at below contribute in some way to driving customer retention. You’re able to provide better service, streamline processes and so on. However, here are a couple specific ways CRM helps keep those customers coming back: * **Loyalty programs**, which let you reward your most committed customers with special offers and content * **Customer insights**, which show you the customers most likely to leave so you can re-engage them to reduce churn rates * **Surveys** for gathering customer sentiment and measuring satisfaction * **Multi-channel support**, so you can offer personalized content whether customers are on their phone, at a physical store, or surfing the internet on their laptop or desktop ![Customer Satisfaction metrics in Dynamics 365 ]() Example of customer satisfaction metrics. These features all contribute to the goal of giving your customers the best experience possible. When you invest in your customers, they’re more likely to invest in you by buying more and staying loyal for longer. That’s what every business wants — satisfied, reliable customers. ### 2\. Communicate and Collaborate Across Teams When a business is large enough to establish separate departments, proper coordination often becomes difficult. A major advantage of CRM software is that it helps improve collaboration throughout the entire internal process. This prevents sales, marketing and service teams from operating in silos. Here’s an illustration of the difference: **Without CRM** A lead enters the system. Marketing tries to nurture the lead down the funnel but isn’t quite sure what he’s after. They try some campaigns without much result. Eventually, he reaches the sales-ready stage. But without any context, the rep’s calls aren’t relevant and start to become annoying. The lead persists and becomes a customer anyway. Now it’s up to the service team to keep the new customer happy and engaged. When a problem crops up and the customer creates a ticket, the service team doesn’t have any historical context based on his interactions with marketing and sales. They spend 15 minutes searching for info and asking questions they should already know the answer to. He’s so frustrated with the slow service that he walks out the figurative door — a victim of the dreaded customer churn. That scenario isn’t the status quo, but you get the point. It’s a fragmented, confusing process. Imagine how that makes the customer feel. **With CRM** A lead sees a business intelligence product on social media and clicks through to the website. The marketing team adds him to a segmented list based on his interest and then sends targeted campaigns that answer questions and draw him down the funnel. He’s able to engage on several different channels. When the handoff from marketing to sales happens, the lead’s account gets passed along, complete with all the information about his journey so far. ![Bitrix24 Contact Profile]() Example of a contact profile with centralized information for better collaboration. Because the sales reps have this insight, they’re able to tailor their calls to be helpful and informative. The lead grows warmer and purchases the product. A few months later when a platform update goes awry, he submits a ticket. It gets categorized as a critical issue and prioritized. The help center agent assigned to the customer pulls up his profile to see which version of the product he installed, along with his history of interactions. It takes a call, but they’re able to resolve the issue in a few minutes and the customer leaves happy. Bottom line: better collaboration and coordination help eliminate redundant efforts, poor communication and missed opportunities. ### 3\. Drill Deep Into Data Insights Data is [everywhere you look](https://techjury.net/blog/how-much-data-is-created-every-day/#gref). Social media interactions, customer reviews, e-commerce transactions website visits — it’s an endless list. But do you know what any of that data means for your business? Raw data is worthless if you can’t access and properly format it. And let’s be honest: spreadsheets are too cumbersome with so many data points to consider. CRM systems have [analytics](https://www.selecthub.com/category/business-analytics/) and reporting capabilities to help with that. Visualizations, often compiled into dashboards for at-a-glance summaries, provide deep insight into practically any metric you could want to track. Here’s a taste: * Sales performance * Revenue by territory * Value of a lead or account * Number of open tickets * Support quality * Marketing campaign click-through rates (CTR) You can identify potential bottlenecks before they affect product or service delivery, find out where to prioritize sales efforts to see the greatest ROI and generate reports without manually sifting through countless data streams. ![View Important Data and Metrics on Insightly Dashboard]() Dashboard views centralize data for quick insights on key metrics. This ability to crack the hood on your business is invaluable. It centralizes key KPIs in a user-friendly format so you get a 360-degree view of your company’s health. ### 4\. Bolster Revenue When it comes to your business, the proof is in the numbers. Strong revenue means you’re doing something (or a lot of things) right. Scanty revenue points to the fact that things need fixing. As a business, there are any number of ways you can boost your revenue. Offering discounts, lowering your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), running promotions and the like. But with a CRM, you can go a lot deeper. Here’s how: * **Improve closure rates.** CRM tools like lead scoring help your sales team prioritize the hottest accounts and eliminate wasted effort on people less likely to buy. * **Enhance cross-selling and upselling.** The data insights we talked about can also include helping your sales reps see the best upsell and cross-sell opportunities. * **View the most profitable regions.** You can track revenue by geographic area so you know where your efforts will be best spent. * **See which customers buy the most.** Same idea as above, except on the customer level. You can sort customers using a range of criteria, such as age, location, gender or even average spending amount. This lets you maximize revenue potential. * **Track sales rep performance.** CRMs show you how your sales reps perform. By documenting what your top performers do, you can apply those learnings across your sales team so everyone’s performance rises. CRM software can also integrate with complementary financial systems. This presents a panoramic view of revenue-related data and provides insight into areas you should modify or improve. ### 5\. Work Efficiently As illustrated before, the interactions a customer has are often choppy and disjointed when viewed as a single journey. It’s hard to create a seamless flow without having a CRM in place. One of the major advantages of CRM is the ability to streamline these critical areas of customer interaction. This usually includes setting appointments, managing contacts, addressing customer service and evaluating marketing campaigns. Modern CRMs are visual, so it’s easy to track the flow of leads through the sales pipeline or quickly view key information on a dashboard. That’s a far cry from manually tracking down information every time you need it. ![Pipeliner CRM Opportunities]() Visual layouts make it easy to track and manage the flow of leads through the pipeline. Task automation is another helpful feature. Rather than completing each action manually, you can assign rules and build workflows to automate your processes. For example: * Transferring a contact from one stage of the pipeline to the next * Sending a meeting reminder * Syncing data between systems * Sending marketing content * Adding contacts to a list in bulk CRM systems take on much of the tedious, repetitive work so you don’t have to. That frees you up to work more efficiently. ### 6\. Rock That Customer Service Once your customers come through the door, one of the [biggest factors](https://www.paldesk.com/outcomes-of-bad-customer-service/) in whether they’ll stay or leave is your level of customer service. We’ve all had bad — even horrible — customer service experiences. You don’t want that to be the story for your customers. CRMs bring a few critical features to the table to help you out. **Case Management** This CRM module has tools that enable you to build and manage a ticketing system. Dashboards provide a central view of all cases so no issue goes unsolved. They also provide a comprehensive view into the activity for each case, such as offers, orders and contracts. ![SugarCRM Case Management]() Example of a case management dashboard. You can assign statutes based on the type of issue so the service team addresses the most urgent cases first. **Help Desk Integrations** Some CRMs have help desk capabilities rolled in, but they can also integrate with standalone solutions like [Zendesk](https://www.selecthub.com/help-desk-software/zendesk/). The advantage CRM offers here is providing a consistent experience. [Integrating your CRM and help desk](https://www.apptivo.com/blog/integrated-helpdesk-5-ways-crm-facilitates-customer-service/) ensures a smooth flow of data. The information stored in your CRM can seamlessly flow into your help desk solution without complicated workarounds or manual methods. The result? Your service agents can view the most accurate, updated information. And that leads to quicker response times, more personalized interactions and a better overall experience for your customers. ### 7\. Improve Your Marketing Game CRMs enable you to do a better job with your marketing. This is accomplished by integrating with [marketing automation software](https://www.selecthub.com/marketing-automation-software/) or via built-in marketing capabilities. Here’s a quick hit list of some of the tools and what they do: * **Segmentation.** You can split your contacts into groups based on shared characteristics, which provides targeting when sending campaigns. * **Workflows.** This lets you create email sequences ranging from simple to complex. * **Automation.** When you’re sending email campaigns to hundreds or thousands of people, automating the process will save you hours of time. The system uses rules that you configure to automatically trigger emails or other messages. * **Social media marketing.** Integrating with networks like LinkedIn and Facebook lets you closely monitor every aspect of your social media campaigns. You have the ability to track each network to determine where your traffic is originating and follow customer engagements with your brand. * **Campaign management.** This feature lets you oversee marketing campaigns across multiple channels and mediums. Analysis tools make it easy to track how each campaign performs. * **Metrics.** You can view and report on all critical KPIs. The only thing worse than having no marketing is doing it blind, without any idea of what’s working and what needs improvement. A CRM will provide full control over your marketing efforts while making them easier to accomplish. More importantly, it will give you a clear idea of where and how you can optimize your campaigns. ### 8\. Automate Sales Reports ![Salesforce Automated Reports]() Example of Automated Sales Reports. Leverage your CRM software’s dashboard and reporting features to [collect and organize data](https://www.selecthub.com/marketing-automation/customer-data-platform/) about prospective and current customers, helping employees manage pipelines and automate processes. You can evaluate team members’ performance, check progress on different projects and track goals. ### 9\. Improve Customer Segmentation ![Creatio Customer Segmentation]() Instance of Customer Segmentation. Categorizing those hundreds of contacts saves you a lot of time and provides specific details like which customers are eager to know about your new in-store products. A CRM tool segments contact lists based on preferred criteria such as gender, location, buyer stage, age and more, enabling you to identify the ones you want to contact immediately. ### 10\. Organize Database ![Pipeliner Organized Database]() Organized Database Offers Complete Overview. A centralized database with all customer information is accessible to team members who need it. Sales reps can easily learn about customer interests from previous interactions, allowing them to create relevant sales pitches and make informed marketing decisions. ### 11\. Leverage Accurate Sales Forecasting Review past business performance and make strategic plans using automated sales reports. It helps you identify key trends and get an idea of what to expect from upcoming sales cycles. Simultaneously, you can adjust goals and metrics to suit those projections. ![Salesforce Sales and Pipeline Forecasting]() Accurate Sales and Pipeline Forecasting. ### 12\. Protect Data Privacy You can protect private customer information with a CRM platform. Receive and record users’ permission to store and use their details, notify new contacts about data storage, manage email communication preferences, and set up rules to update databases. Better data management saves time and eliminates chances of errors. Aside from internal regulations, you must comply with external data privacy requirements. One of the significant benefits of a CRM system is ensuring your communications with clients are GDPR compliant. It helps you procure and record your customer’s permission to store and use their personal information. Additionally, you can set up automated notifications to inform new contacts that you would like to store their data. ### 13\. Scale and Grow Seamlessly With continuing business growth, a CRM will ensure scalability. Whether you need to handle more contact information, track increased number of leads or record additional prospect interactions, a CRM lets you achieve all that without the headache of using manual tools and processes. It helps your sales, customer service and marketing teams do their job efficiently. ### 14\. Go Mobile ![Salesforce Mobile CRM]() Mobile CRM. A [mobile CRM](https://crm.org/crmland/mobile-crm) allows you to take calls, respond to inquiries and close deals from anywhere. Access a cloud-based, [SaaS](https://www.selecthub.com/resources/saas/) CRM from a desktop, tablet or smartphone to leverage useful features at all times. You can check in-depth information stored on the cloud whenever needed and deal with customer-facing interactions effectively. ### 15\. Anticipate Needs Another great benefit of CRM software is its ability to provide a holistic view of a customer’s journey. With all this buyer information at your fingertips, it becomes easier to cross-sell or upsell customers. Accessing customers’ entire history, like products they purchased or their buying habits, enables you to be proactive and offer them just what they need. ## In Summary At the end of the day, many benefits of a CRM system revolve around your customers. When you have the ability to offer prompt customer service and deliver fabulous experiences that keep people coming back, it will feed into enhanced business performance.

It’s so true that CRMs have become accessible for pretty much any type and size of company, and the market is only growing. I think one of the driving factors is that more and more companies are realizing how important it is to provide a great customer experience and retain customers. But at the same time, consumers are more demanding and have higher expectations. Companies have to balance those two forces, which is creating more demand for solutions that aren’t just for the enterprise powerhouses. CRMs don’t magically solve every problem, but they help in a lot of key areas. **[Reply](#comment-19658)** * ![Avatar photo](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/23ef456e22fd6556bdb382115a235f46c8e9ad07d05b18d2232207db66aaa9e2?s=96&d=mm&r=g) #### **Charles Wattson** \- September 6, 2018 The vital point to note about a CRM system is that it presents cooperative energies over the customer relationship cycle prompting more prominent effectiveness and efficiency of the workers dealing with customer connections. Further, since the CRM system robotizes the divergent client administration capacities (deals, showcasing, client administration, and specialized help) alongside incorporating the whole client relationship lifecycle, the profits from old, existing, and new clients are more. One of the principal advantages of a CRM system is that it smoothens the client maintenance process and prompts all the more returning customers, which is dependably an indication of a solid and gainful organization. Next, the CRM system helps in supplementing and supplementing the physical client relationship exertion and via robotizing client contact focuses; it guarantees that there are a couple of blunders or errors submitted amid the customer relationship administration process. **[Reply](#comment-12331)** **Tier 1:** Fully/moderately supported out-of-the-box allowing for quick and easy deployment. Fully or moderately supported out-of-the-box with industry-leading capabilities and is immediately available after installation without needing any add-ons, integrations, or custom development. **Tier 2:** Supported with workarounds or add-ons that may require additional costs.
