Just some of the many reasons to use a CRM system in your business

1. All of your customer data is stored in one place, neatly organised and available for review and analytics. All customer dealings, transactions and contact is recorded in the same system so you can always see the full picture without swapping between IT packages, even from your phone.

2. With ease, you can assess which of your customers need your attention and find focus for your business activity.

3. Your team are naturally inclined to create and follow customer-centric processes, improving your customer service and reputation.
4. By analysing your customer history you can profile their behaviour and better tailor your approach to your interactions with them.

5. Knowing your customers so well means you can optimise your marketing strategies and target customers with specific and relevant content. 

6. Building a picture of your customer and their business maximises cross- and up-sell opportunities.

7. Your business's successes and lessons are captured for future analysis, to improve your methods and build more success. 
8. Automation in CRM allows for much increased workflow efficiency with fewer 'human' delays and omissions. 

9. Performance tracking for individuals, teams, and the business as a whole is click-of-a-button and real time. 

10. CRM provides an excellent audit trail for all your quality, control, GDPR and other required standards.
There are, of course, so many other benefits to using a CRM. Knowing what you want to get out of a CRM system can help you to focus your development and implementation, and  help you measure the impact of your CRM system on your business.
