One sure way to reduce operational cost is to create a knowledge management database that supports the constant needs of your prospect or customer base from product brochures to annual financials to credit application forms to contract templates. Why should you dedicate any human capital when this can be done so much more efficiently through the right CRM automation? You shouldn't!
So, how can CRM solutions help again?
Well, when you visit a website, they often ask to your create an account or login before you can view certain information or before you can request to see a demo of a product. Once you do that, the CRM system immediately tracks your every move and at that point is able to match your request or your web page visits to information that you may find useful. This information is then automatically emailed to you in a timely manner in the delivery method that you have selected.
That's it… pretty simple for the prospect or customer since they had to do little to request the information they need to make a decision.
