Making CRM Work. The 5 Critical Success Factors.QGate
From our two decades of knowledge and experience, we believe there are 5 areas that are crucial in making a CRM project a success.

Today's Effort For A Better Tomorrow
CRM adoption in many companies do not yield intended benefits as it is managed as a IT roll out and not as a transformational project involving changes in process, procedures, ownership and measures. This paper presents MACE framework to manage this transformation and achieve the intended goals.
The document discusses new challenges in business due to increasing competition, smaller margins, and less product differentiation, as well as multiple communication channels with customers. It states that companies need to fully understand customer needs, improve efficiencies, provide greater value, focus on relationships over quick sales, and develop customer focus. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is presented as a mechanism to help achieve these goals. CRM involves acquiring, retaining, and servicing customers through policies, processes, and information to increase satisfaction, revenue, and efficiency by building strong customer relationships. The document provides several definitions of CRM and discusses how CRM requires a customer-centric culture and focus on profitable customer segments.
The document discusses the application of customer relationship management (CRM) strategies in different business areas. It begins by defining CRM and explaining its benefits, such as reducing costs, increasing profitability, and strengthening customer loyalty. It then examines how CRM strategies are applied specifically in the hotel industry, banking/insurance sectors, and healthcare. For each industry, it outlines how CRM helps improve marketing, sales, customer service and satisfaction, data collection/analysis, and overall business performance and competitiveness. CRM strategies are shown to provide targeted benefits depending on the particular products, services and customer needs of different business areas.
This document discusses shifting paradigms in strategic customer relationship management (SCRM). SCRM systems must do more than just track customer interactions - they must analyze information, spot trends, and enable sales forces. Next-generation SCRM integrates customer data throughout the entire organization, from sales and marketing to engineering and operations. It provides benefits like improved communication, identifying key accounts, and turning data into actionable insights. SCRM must be designed around collaboration and information sharing across departments to facilitate real-time customer insights. Today's approach to innovation and value creation is driven by customer co-creation and intimacy, requiring SCRM solutions to manage broader customer relationships and interactions.

An annual study of the value and success
that SMEs are gaining from CRM in
Europe, Middle East and Africa.

2. 2REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
Management Summary
• There is a lack of research-based literature on
the genuine value and success that small to
medium-sized enterprises are achieving through
use of Customer Relationship Management
(CRM solutions)
• In order to help fill this gap, Maximizer is publishing,
for the first time, its annual research into the
subject – the Maximizer SME Benchmark Study.
• The study examines research undertaken with
300 SME customers of CRM solutions in the
EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
The study outputs include 3 publications,
focussed on particular elements that contribute
to delivering CRM value and success:
o Part I: Key Business Objectives and
Operating Benefits - examines tactical
and strategic approaches in addressing
the new customer journey.
o Part II: Key Product Features and Business
Outcomes - examines the more practical
use of CRM with reference to gaining
CRM mastery.
o Part III: Practitioner Workbook - provides
practical value and success measures, which
can be adopted to improve CRM performance
and business contribution.
• The Maximizer report reveals that just under a
third of SMEs studied are putting their CRM at
the very heart of their business, deploying it as
the company’s wide repository for customer
intelligence, available to all departments, and
using that intelligence to drive the company’s
growth strategy.
• The larger proportion of respondents, however,
is measuring CRM return-on-investment on
individual factors such as process efficiency
and productivity.
• The study shows that SMEs regard
centralisation of customer data and improved
data quality and value as the primary benefits
of CRM system deployment, making customer
intelligence available to all in the business, and
providing a universal, high-quality, transparent
view of all aspects of business performance.
• The purpose of publishing the Maximizer SME
Benchmark Study is to provide SMEs with a
clear picture of how CRM deployment success
is amongst their counterparts, and what
objectives and benefits are most commonly
prioritised as showing a measureable return-
on-investment.

Yet very little is understood about the success
factors and return on investment that small and
medium-sized organisations (SMEs) are actually
gaining from this outlay. There is a great deal
of opinion on the subject, but it appears little is
founded on a published factual basis.
The situation is starting to change, notably with
publications such as that recently from a Forrester
analyst, which offers an approach to building an ROI
calculation methodology1
. Even such good work,
however, needs to be complemented with better
information on precisely what benefits and value
businesses are gaining from their CRM investments.
This is particularly important for SMEs who do not
have the resource or time to devote to the subject.
For companies of this size, simply to know what
their peers are doing with their CRM, and which
benefits they are achieving as a consequence,
would be extremely useful.
As a result, Maximizer has commissioned
independent analysis on the experience of its
customers in obtaining business value and success
from their CRM solutions. The result is benchmark
data derived from in-depth research with 300 SME
CRM customers within the EMEA region (Europe,
Middle East and Africa).
The ‘Annual Benchmark Study 2017 – Measuring

4. 4REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
It is a particularly topical time to establish a
CRM Value and Success Benchmark for SMEs.
The sales techniques of the past have rapidly
become outdated. Customers and prospects no
longer interact with salespeople as the ‘expert’
source of information. Nowadays, customers
embark on a new kind of ‘journey’ where they
start with their own research. Their behaviour,
their expressions of interest in a subject, now
indicates when THEY are ready to buy. People
are less and less receptive to being sold to.
This means into today’s climate, a business that
is seen as informative, expert and helpful as
the customer progresses along their ‘journey’
towards purchase, puts itself in a leading
position to be considered as a favoured supplier.
Employing a CRM solution to track, inform,
guide, manage and measure the customer
experience allows a business to spot when a
prospect or customer might be in ‘buying mode’.
CRM solutions also provide a crucial tool to help
manage any danger points along this journey,
for example, when a customer service failure
is undermining the customer experience and
may cause that customer to take their business
elsewhere. In point of fact, every department of
a company’s operations needs to be responsible
for creating a positive customer experience
and to help generate enhanced revenue and
profitable growth.
Businesses are re-thinking their growth and
CRM strategy in light of today’s self-educating
and empowered customer. The new resulting
buyer-seller relationship has put increased
pressure on businesses. Customers increasingly
expect high-value experiences and are becoming
CRM Value – Why is it important right now?
more inclined to change suppliers if the business
does not deliver their expected quality of
experience.
As a result, organisations can no longer
implement their customer relationship
management (CRM) solution in a stand-alone
fashion. CRM technology has become THE
critical ‘go-to’ tool for the whole business –
accessed and employed by all functions of the
organisation in order to use intelligence about
the customer’s overall ‘experience’ to deliver
stand-out customer service.
By providing access to customer intelligence
for all departments, CRM ensures value from
customer data is multiplied several times over
without disrupting existing operating systems
and technology. More and more, CRM is
becoming the central hub to which all decision-
driving company information is relayed.
5. 5REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
The first area examined in the study focuses
on the principle business objectives that
SMEs typically have for their CRM investment.
What are the main hard business outputs that
companies expect their CRM to help achieve?
The results show a range of ‘maturity’ in the use
of CRM by small and medium-sized enterprises.
The study reveals around a third of companies
– are placing their CRM solution at the very
heart of their business. They view their CRM
as fundamental to driving growth, customer
satisfaction, loyalty, and revenues. Their
whole set of decision making processes across
the company – whether company-wide or
department by department – draw on the
central customer knowledge hub that the CRM
solution has become.
This highly ‘mature’ proportion of SMEs may be
seen as those who have not only recognised the
‘new customer journey’, but are also harnessing
the power of their CRM solution and processes
to make every customer touchpoint, every
customer interaction, more intelligent and
informed.
By linking in the activities and the performance
measurement of all aspects of a business to
a central CRM hub, then every element of the
customer relationship can be enabled, measured
and improved.
The result is happier customers, reduced
defection rates, more informed leadership
decisions and ultimately greater revenues, profit
and growth.

The majority of SMEs however, according to
the Maximizer Benchmark Study, have yet to set
such objectives or reach this level of maturity
in deploying their CRM solutions. They are still
carefully extracting return on investment from
their CRM, but are more focused on process and
productivity objectives.
This is a natural fundamental starting point for
CRM deployment. Efficiency and productivity
gains are relatively easy to measure. And
any CRM solution that does not first deliver
against such goals has not been effectively
implemented, adopted nor measured.
6. 6REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
When evaluating either the strategic or the process
contribution that CRM is making in an SME, research
respondents were asked which Operating Benefits
were being measurably gained from their CRM solution.
Respondents identified five key operating benefits
that result from successful CRM implementation, as
examined below.
Centralisation of Customer Data
Data centralisation addresses the very common
problem of ‘data silos’ that are often and continue to
be created and used within businesses, not only at
departmental, but frequently at individual level as well.
Centralisation of data is an essential first building block
for CRM if it is to be deployed successfully throughout
the organisation, either immediately or in the future.
Commentators have called this creating ‘a single
version of the truth’.
If all aspects of the business – sales, marketing,
customer service, operations, product development,
finance, etc – are working from the same datum, then
all are equally enabled with customer intelligence.
Each can be expected to bear responsibility for building
a good customer experience, and thereby contributing
to company growth.
Centralisation necessarily improves collaboration
across teams, especially when implemented through
a ‘cloud’ deployment3
to enable remote access.
Information is shared in a way that makes it easier for
teams to interact and assist each other.
Improved Data Quality & Value
Customer data needs to be up-to-date and accurate to
be useful – in effect, avoiding the premise of ‘garbage
in, garbage out’. However, this is a substantial challenge
for any business to successfully achieve, especially

2015; eWeek, CRM adoption to reach $24 Billion in
2014: Gartner, February 2014
where a culture of data silos has become entrenched in
the organisation.
By working from a central repository of customer
intelligence, there is no reason for data inaccuracy.
Moreover, centralised data held in the CRM also helps
to give a more comprehensive view to all of the various
interactions and experiences a customer is having with
the business. So focus on data quality is as much about
comprehensiveness, as it is about its accuracy and
currency.
7. 7REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
Certainly, in the majority of cases, this kind of
improvement has involved a re-examination
of business processes and activities to ensure
successful buy-in and application by all departments
and individuals in adopting data inputting and
updating habits. The ongoing use and monitoring
of Key Performance Indicators, training and data
management practices will also be critical to the
continued delivery of such benefits.
Improved Visibility of Communication &
Activities (Business Intelligence)
Improved visibility of communications and activities
suitably demonstrates the progressive improvements and
value that can be obtained from successful CRM adoption
and application. Ensuring the precious two benefits are
being accomplished automatically results in this third
benefit and more being realised.
Instantaneous visibility of all customer actions and
interactions provides an important resource for both staff
and managers, allowing for better quality and improved
customer engagement. Points of customer experience
failure can be spotted and resolved quickly before they
cause too much damage to the customer relationship.
Transparency reveals success and failure levels
in every part of the business. Moreover, precious
resources can be applied where they are most
likely to produce a measureable return, or create a
platform for future growth.
In the here and now, management has access to up-
to-date information and analysis on deals and deal
conversion metrics at their fingertips, through tools
such as Dashboards and automated reporting.
Better Analysis and Segmentation
Another powerful benefit that can be realised from Data
Centralisation and Improved Data Quality is the ability
to analyse and segment your prospects and customer
database. Some 52% of respondents confirmed that
through the use of CRM, they actively benefit from this
activity.
Within marketing, segmentation is a necessary practice
in delivering more effective messages and campaigns
to specific groups of people or companies with a
common attribute or behaviour such as industry sector,
geographic location or buying behaviour, this allows
for resource to be directed to the most definable,
accessible, actionable, and profitable audiences with
growth potential. In other words, a company will find
it impossible to target the entire market effectively,
because of time, cost and effort restrictions.
However, a common misconception for SME businesses
is to think that segmentation is only of concern to
marketing. Fundamentally, businesses need to know
who their customers are, how they behave, how much
attention and resource they consume, and ultimately
the overall revenue and profit they generate. As the
accountants say, ‘goodwill equals profit’.
Yet, many organisations have little idea about the
individual profitability of each customer.
Segmentation allows resources to be applied to
each client in accordance with their real value to
the business. Accordingly, marketing, sales efforts,
delivery and customer support efforts can be tailored
to meet different groups of customers based on their
profitability and growth potential.
How often does business find itself spending
valuable hours on a challenging situation or customer
that in reality brings little value to the business?
Segmentation and having this greater understanding
of your customer’s value can help eliminate such
misguided efforts to more profitable growth activity.
8. 8REPORT Measuring Value & Success from CRM Maximizer SME Benchmark Study 2017 - PART I
Increased Productivity with Reduced
Manual Admin
Many businesses want to achieve more without
increasing (or even reducing) the cost base.
One such way of achieving this is with improved
processes leading to increased productivity, as
reflected in both these elements being ranked 1st
and 2nd in Key Business Objectives.
Respondents’ CRM solutions are enabling identification
of inefficiency bottlenecks, refinement of existing
business processes, automation of routine tasks and
better personal organisation/prioritisation of staff.
The gains can be considerable, including more
responsive customer service, better use of sales
people’s time, closer measurement of product
development cycles and marketing campaigns. The
efficiency element is also evident at a more senior
level through the use of automated reporting and
Dashboards.
Having clear KPIs and reporting mechanisms to capture
statistical evidence of such improvements provides a
good basis for measuring CRM value and success and
ultimately understanding your CRM ROI.
Conclusion
Maximizer has published the key findings from its
SME Benchmark Study for the first time to give
small to medium-sized companies and autonomous
departments of larger enterprises a clear
understanding of how their peers are deploying
CRM, what objectives they are setting for their
CRM investment, and what main benefits they are
gaining and measuring. It is hoped that this annual
publication will be an important first move in filling
the information gap for SMEs on evaluating an
accurate return-on-investment from CRM solution
deployment.
What is clear is that focussed objectives
and deeper investment in CRM brings wider
progressive benefits and value across the business,
significantly contributing to its strategic growth
and levels of customer engagement and service.
