  11. CRM Implementation • Why did Mitsubishi Motor decide to implement CRM? • Executives felt that company lacked a customer focus. • Customer service was very poor.

  12. CRM Implementation • Why did Mitsubishi Motor decide to implement CRM? • More than 18 service lines customers had to navigate to get help. • Customer service department was costly and inefficient.

  13. CRM Implementation • How did Mitsubishi Motor implement CRM? • Formed a project team that included members from sales, marketing, finance and IT departments. • The team then set guidelines on what type of CRM software they would implement and how it would be implemented.

  14. CRM Implementation • The team decided that Mitsubishi would implement a best-of-breed software based on company needs, and not a CRM suite that would force the company to fit needs to a software. • The team also decided to implement changes to current operations slowly, only adding another when employees were utilizing the last one.

  15. CRM Implementation • The Beginning • Mitsubishi started CRM in 1999 by outsourcing their basic level customer service calls to Sitel Corp., and condensing their 18 service lines and call centers to one using “call center software” by Siebel systems. • The next year a new customer-centric database was consolidated in-house, to power the call center.

  16. CRM Implementation • In early 2001, a digital phone switch from Avaya Inc. was installed that allowed flexible skills-based call routing. • About half of customer calls were now • handled by an interactive voice response unit • rather than a person!

  17. CRM Implementation • In March 2001, user interface upgrades gave operators access to 11 screens of customer information all on one screen. • Smart Scripts Workflow software from Siebel was also implemented in March 2001. • Operators were now provided with decision tree scripts and automated correspondence.

  18. CRM Implementation • In June 2001, workforce management software from Blue Pumpkin Software was implemented to hourly forecast call center coverage. • Finally, late in 2001, NiceLog software from Nice Systems was installed to record agents’ voice and screen activity for quality assurance and training.
