WHAT CHALLENGES DO COMPANIES FACE?
A significant budget is allocated to acquire customers. It is essential to maximize the return on investment (ROI) for these costs.
Sales staff often keeps records in spreadsheets, documents, notebooks or do not keep them at all. They have no single database of customers and information to collect statistics, provide analysis or forecasts.
The process of customer management is not streamlined, so the staff is unevenly loaded and often fails to establish contact with the customers in due time, which leads to solicitation by competitors.
WHAT IS SALESFORCE?
Salesforce is a CRM platform that automates and facilitates sales, service, marketing, analysis and customer relationship tasks.
| In 2019, Salesforce has been a leader in the Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for 13 years. |
WHY SALESFORCE?
- Growth of Profits. Employees have complete customer information and sales history, so they can focus on more profitable deals and customize offers.
- Improved Sales Forecast Accuracy. Statistical information helps predict the likelihood and speed of a deal. Companies receive a tool that keeps track of the results of negotiations, payments and other indicators. Managers are able to forecast profits, the number of transactions and the workload of the sales team.
- Increased Likelihood of a Deal. Salesforce automates the sales cycle, creates a single knowledge base with frequent customer questions, competitor analysis and helps even a new employee to work effectively with a customer.
- Cost Reduction. Automation of the sales process speeds up routine operations, identifies unprofitable channels and reduces customer acquisition costs.
- Enhanced Control. CRM system assists in monitoring the performance indicators of sales managers, for example, the amount of contracts, the number of transactions, the quality of contacts with customers.
