This much hyped, much talked about and much misunderstood subject is fundamentally important for any business that intends to grow, especially during a period of slow economic growth. It is essential that your business is focussed on what your customers want. What is your CRM strategy?
- Have you examined your customer facing services recently?
- How well does your front office communicate with your back office, supply chain and partners? Are you aware of technologies that can integrate disparate database and directory information?
- Are there gaps and delays in the flow of information? When did you last map business processes and check customer satisfaction?
- Has your company recently expanded or contracted?
- If so, how has this affected your customers? Do they receive the same service, better or worse?
- Do you have new staff who merged from another company that you have recently taken over? How do they get on with existing staff? Do you have a change management programme?
- Are the changes being reflected in their attitude towards customers, for better or worse? Do they need training?
- Are your processes consistent throughout the newly merged business?
- If not, how will you go about ensuring that they are?
- Is your technology running on a common platform or are communications slowing everything down?
- Do you have performance indicators?
- If you have a CRM strategy in place, who is managing each individual project and who is coordinating the whole?
- Do you have the right infrastructure to support CRM requirements
- Is everyone behind the proposals?
- Where should you begin?
