1. Regardless of what industry you’re in, getting the most of your sales pipeline is
vital to the lifeblood of any successful organization. But we get it - you’re busy
with a million other projects and multi-tasking the day away. While your current
system is (hopefully) bringing you abundance, it might be time to reevaluate. You
can double down on what’s working and rethink what’s not, beyond your
standard yearly review. And while that’s a project in itself, even using one of the
tips below can immediately improve your system.
1. Prioritize tasks with the help of your CRM.
What are your goals for this quarter? If they involve closing a certain number of
accounts or brining on x number of clients, you can use your CRM to scan and
organize profiles based on their stage in the sales cycle. Ranking them by
category, your CRM can create harmony where chaos previously reigned.
2. If you have a different goal, let’s say getting a certain number of new
subscribers, your CRM can also do a quick search to assess the qualified
leads captured by your website. When you have a data-based to do list of
potential client names in front of you, you’ll be unstoppable.
2. Improve the quality of your leads with automated tools.
Does it really matter if you have 10,000 new leads if only 50 of those are
actually a good fit for your product or service? Based on a predetermined
set of factors, your CRM can help crawl existing data points and assign
value to profiles that best fit your target audience.
3. Streamline administrative tasks to save time and potential sales.
Yet another easy way to save time and valuable brain power. Set your
CRM to the task of completing mundane checklist items. Depending on
your system these could include: triggered email campaigns, auto-filling
phone numbers, emails, social links, and/or relevant addresses to
existing customer profiles, and many more.
3. 4. Follow up on fresh leads twice as fast.
By adjusting a few simple settings, messages you used to manually write and
send can now be completed for you by establishing a set of triggers. These
triggers know to follow up a certain customer action, like signing up for a free
trial or requesting a meeting, with the corresponding communication. And if
you’ve already set up your other CRM features to auto update files, this
information can be captured and noted without any additional effort on your
part.
5. Make nurturing existing leads easier.
Not only can you use email to respond to your clients in real time, nurturing
leads can also become a smooth-sailing journey from here on out with the
adjustment of a few presets. Even if you’re managing dozens of accounts at a
time, your client will appreciate a customized email - even if that
customization was created by an auto-fill of information. People like to feel
taken care of so let your CRM help you do just that.
