Examples of some Key Business Processes in CRM
updates a single, shared database for all functions that directly or indirectly
depend on this information.
This integration should take place in real-time, not after processing in the
module through which it entered the system.
Once placed into the system, the information should be available in all the
necessary forms through which it may be accessed, throughout the system.
Basic Principles
Yes, its old hat but the scale, size, volume and complexity of business is different.
The Touch points are more (telephone, fax, e-mail, Internet etc)
Therefore, the only way you can realistically manage to store, track, analyze and act
on information is by using IT.
• CRM is not just a piece of software
• CRM is the way good businesses manage their customers. However, in
today’s complex business environment, they just have to use special
CRM technologies to do this-which includes both hardware and
software.
The cost of acquiring customers
and the need for CRM
• Studies show:
– It costs a company six times more to sell a product to a new
customer than it does to sell to an existing one
– One dissatisfied customer will tell 8-10 others of his experience
– By increasing the customer retention rate by 5% profits would
increase by 85%
– There is a 50% chance of making a sale to an existing customer and
only 15% of selling to a new customer
– 70% of the customers will do business with a company again if their
complaint is successfully resolved
– Companies need integration of sales and service to support online
marketing and e-commerce. 70% companies do not have this
integration.
• Discern the best customers and motivate them to stay that way

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
Session 1.1
Managing Relationship Expectation
• Analytics is allowing companies to personalize and manage
customer relationships
• The challenge is people now expect companies to understand
what type of relationships they want & respond appropriately
• Despite implementing CRM software, companies are poor in
relationship intelligence
– Understanding variety of relationships customers have with a firm
– They do not know how to reinforce or change those connections
– Meeting relation expectations is important!
• Companies are collecting data such as demographics data and matching with
purchasing information for segmentation leading to cross sell/ up sell.
• Customers have different kind of relationships with brands
• The paper identifies 29 distinct type of relationships such as buddies, enemies, one-
night stands, marriage partners, master-slave etc
• Discusses characteristics/ treatment for each type
• These relationships are unique to an industry (fashion, consumer technology, social
media and gaming) / organization
• Understand the types of relationships of the customer with your brand using surveys/
interviews, web crawling tools, data mining techniques;
– Find what the customers desire; and which relationship profile is most profitable
– Keep shifting the relationships.
