How to use your CRM for upselling and cross-sellingRedspire Ltd
To successfully use a CRM for upselling and cross-selling, focus on understanding customer needs and insights rather than just the software. Most CRM projects fail due to a lack of customer understanding. Cross-selling increases revenue through related products while up-selling boosts margins by selling higher-value offerings to existing customers. Tips for success include identifying patterns in customer data, getting team input on effective techniques, focusing on human factors rather than just database segments, sharing best practices, and automating those practices.
MX dyes are a family of "cold" reactive dyes first developed by Imperial Chemical Industries of Britain. They are very popular for dyeing cellulose fibers like cotton. MX dyes are less commonly used by industrial dyers due to their high reactivity making them harder to control and their relatively high cost. Care should be taken when using MX dyes due to the potential to cause respiratory allergies from inhaling dye dust.

This document discusses the process of dyeing textiles. It explains that there are three main types of dyeing: fiber, yarn and fabric dyeing. The dyeing process involves successive stages including dispersing dye in a dye bath, diffusion of dye onto and into the fiber substrate, and bonding between dye and fiber molecules. Dyes are also classified by their application method and chemical structure. Proper control of dye bath parameters like liquor ratio, electrolyte concentration, pH and temperature are important to ensure efficient dye absorption and an even color. Modern industrial dyeing is automated but still aims to produce textiles with homogeneous color in an economic manner with good colorfastness.
The document summarizes the WEAR Sustain project, a 3 million Euro EU-funded initiative from 2017-2018 that aimed to promote more sustainable and ethical development of wearable technologies.
