CRM Reports Your Business Should Be Running
This article has been written and sponsored by Lead Management.
Being able to analyze the internal performance of a company allows a company to understand what they are doing well, and what they can do to improve themselves. A good company knows that they run more efficiently when they are collecting data about their company that allows them to closely track their important data points. A data point is simply an area within the company that has been identified as having a major impact on the company as a whole. CRM reports can be run on these various data points which will give an indication as to how each of these points within the company is functioning. Based on the data that is reported, managers can make necessary changes to increase the performance of that data point.
Not every process within a company need to be monitored with specific data. However, many processes and actions within a company rely very heavily on data and it is an excellent idea to monitor the following reports very closely so that a company can improve upon their past results. A thorough analysis of what the most profitable customers are buying will tell a company what type of products they will need to develop to cater to their best customers. For example, if one customer buys a certain model of a computer software program 50 times it is a good bet, that the customer is satisfied with that software. The software company might take the hint to develop more software applications similar to that one or they might even improve upon their already existing software.
Companies should also manage their discounting effectiveness. Running a discount on a product is done with the intent that people will buy more of a product at a discount so the overall profit margins will increase. Data must be collected on the discounted item sales to prove if the discounting actually worked or not. Companies should also monitor customer loyalty, initial response time, quality problems, and DOA products. All of these data points will allow a company to monitor their customer service and make sure that they are providing the best possible customer service to their customers. A company should also get reports on the most profitable customers and the most profitable services offered. By focusing on these customers and these services a company can ensure that they will be receiving the most return on their investment as possible.
