INTRODUCTION • Customer Relationship Management—Involves managing all aspects of a customer’s relationship with an organization to increase customer loyalty and retention and an organization’s profitability • Operational CRM—Supports traditional transactional processing for day-to-day front-office operations or systems that deal directly with the customers • Analytical CRM—Supports back-office operations and strategic analysis and includes all systems that do not deal directly with the customers
MARKETING AND OPERATIONAL CRM • Three marketing operational CRM technologies: • List Generator—Compiles customer information from a variety of sources and segments the information for different marketing campaigns • Campaign Management System—Guides users through marketing campaigns • Cross-Selling and Up-Selling: • Cross-Selling—Selling additional products or services • Up-Selling—Increasing the value of the sale
SALES AND OPERATIONAL CRM • Sales Force Automation—A system that automatically tracks all of the steps in the sales process • Three sales operational CRM technologies: • Sales Management CRM System—Automates each phase of the sales process, helping individual sales representatives coordinate and organize all of their accounts. • Contact Management CRM System—Maintains customer contact information and identifies prospective customers for future sales. • Opportunity Management CRM System—Targets sales opportunities by finding new customers or companies for future sales.
SALES AND OPERATIONAL CRM • CRM pointers for gaining prospective customers: • Get their attention. • Value their time. • Over deliver. • Contact frequently. • Generate a trustworthy mailing list. • Follow up.
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPERATIONAL CRM • Three customer service operational CRM technologies: • Contact Center is where customer service representatives (CSRs) answer customer inquiries and respond to problems through a number of different customer touch points. • Web-Based Self-Service Systems allow customers to use the web to find answers to their questions or solutions to their problems. • Call Scripting Systems access organizational databases that track similar issues or questions and automatically generate the details for the CSR who can then relay them to the customer.
Analytical CRM • Personalization—When a website knows enough about a person’s likes and dislikes that it can fashion offers that are more likely to appeal to that person • Analytical CRM relies heavily on data warehousing technologies and business intelligence to glean insights into customer behavior • These systems quickly aggregate, analyze, and disseminate customer information throughout an organization
Analytical CRM • Analytical CRM Information Examples: • Give customers more of what they want. • Find new customers similar to the best customers. • Find out what the organization does best. • Beat competitors to the punch. • Reactivate inactive customers. • Let customers know they matter.
SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT • Supplier Relationship Management (SRM)—Focuses on keeping suppliers satisfied by evaluating and categorizing suppliers for different projects, which optimizes supplier selection • Benefits HBOS derived from the SRM solution include: • A single consolidated view of all suppliers • Consistent, detailed management information allowing multiple views for every executive • Elimination of duplicate suppliers
PARTNER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT • Partner Relationship Management (PRM)—Focuses on keeping vendors satisfied by managing alliance partner and reseller relationships that provide customers with the optimal sales channel • The primary benefits of PRM include: • Expanded market coverage • Offerings of specialized products and services • Broadened range of offerings and a more complete solution
EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT • Employee Relationship Management (ERM)—Provides employees with a subset of CRM applications available through a web browser • Many of the ERM applications assist the employee in dealing with customers by providing detailed information on company products, services, and customer orders
FUTURE TRENDS • CRM future trends include: • CRM applications will change from employee-only tools to tools used by suppliers, partners, and even customers • CRM will continue to be a major strategic focus for companies • CRM applications will continue to adapt wireless capabilities supporting mobile sales and mobile customers • CRM suites will incorporate PRM and SRM modules
