How operational CRM works
Scheduling, automated communication, self-service management, performance tracking, lead sorting, cross-team collaboration and data analysis are a few of the day-to-day processes in a typical business across various departments. Operational CRM will help to streamline sales, marketing and service processes across the entire customer journey:
Sales functionality entails the functions of your company’s sales team as they work through a list of leads. It is from the leads that the team identifies prospects which then become the sales reps’ to-do-list, with the goal of converting all prospects into buying and loyal customers.
This component entails the marketing team identifying who should be on the leads list and how best they can be targeted.
Service involves the support team which handles communications and customer interactions from time to time answering questions, solving arising problems and processing service requests.
