Incorporating ACT in Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a key-player in any business. People under this department take charge of anything that connects the customers and the company, including their contact information, compliments and complains about the products and services, inquiries, etc.
This is a big task that requires highly efficient services.

The first step in CRM-gathering and storing information about potential, current, and previous clients-is the most crucial part, as sales agents and customer and technical support teams will rely on the integrity of the information for providing more than satisfactory services. To store and manage the clients' personal information effectively, CRM software should come with contact management software. This separates the tasks from the general tasks of the CRM software, eventually giving way to faster and more accurate results during searches and analyses.

The incorporation improves several vital areas in the CRM, particularly sales force automation, customer service and support, analytics, and customer appointment.
An effective contact management software like ACT is the core of sales force automation.

Sales agents rely on the information stored and made readily available for management in the ACT contact database.

Every piece of information the sales process collects from the clients in every phase is vital for the rest of the ACT tasks.

Since customer service representatives aim at providing the fastest and most effective service to anxious customers, they need a system that will provide them all information about every calling customer.
