An Introduction to CRM

As your business grows the task of managing all of the different interactions you have with customers and prospects becomes more difficult. This can cause problems with the retention of clients and your sales pipeline.  CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology could be a solution to these problems.

The goal of this one day workshop is to provide SME owners and managers considering CRM with an understanding of the technology and how it could enable you to build and maintain profitable customer relationships.

Key areas of the session include:

·         The benefits of CRM and the business issues it can help resolve

·         CRM functionality and how it supports sales, marketing and service processes

·         Managing a successful CRM implementation - “People, Process and Technology”

·         How to develop a requirements specification for CRM

·         How to select a CRM solution and provider

·         Getting your staff on board

·         Technical issues of CRM (including integration and Cloud-based solutions)

·         CRM in action – Live system demonstrations

The workshop will be led by an experienced team with a successful track record of enabling small businesses to achieve CRM success.  They’ll be spending time with you in an action planning session at the end of the course to help you define your way forward.

 Please note this workshop is being held at the Radisson Park Inn in West Bromwich.
