People purchase products for a wide variety of reasons. They compare the best offers, talk with friends or visit a shop. However, excellent customer service is always the basis to get a product to someone. With good service, companies show interest. Above all, customers remember and rate a brand more positively if it takes good care of them.
Customer relationship management: treating customers with care
CRM systems help companies improve their customer service. They make customer data accessible for employees who need that data for the purposes of their work. This makes it easier to arrange meetings, find contact information quickly and organise documents centrally. In addition, you can address customers in a targeted way and impress them with tailored offers. The worksheet in chapter two of the workbook shows you how to address and excite different types of customer.
Small and medium-sized companies often have a very personal connection with their customers. But when the customer base grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to provide good service – especially when highly knowledgeable colleagues are on holiday or sick.
Centrally accessible customer data makes suitable communication easier. It is thus a question of finding the right system. The workbook provides SMEs with orientation for their first steps in customer relationship management.
