CRM Strategy & Implementation

A good CRM program makes it easy to follow up on leads and tend to customer needs. A great CRM program lets you anticipate them.

The
Gold Standard
of CRM

Industry-leading programs that turn customers into fans and potential into profits

Does your CRM program impact the growth of your business and inspire loyalty? It should. 

Any and every CRM program manages all your company's relationships and interactions with customers and potential customers; that’s a given. But having the right plan in place makes your customer feel valued, allowing you to understand the needs and preferences that drive their purchasing decisions. It’s a decision that could mean the difference between keeping up with your competition and blowing past them.

Barton's Thought Leadership

A good CRM program makes it easy to follow up on leads and tend to customer needs. A great CRM program lets you anticipate them. 

The right formula is simple, but not always easy.  Common CRM struggles include difficulty integrating CRM programs with other business applications, creating comprehensive customer profiles, and realizing effective returns on investment. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact it shouldn’t. If you’ve found yourself contemplating concerns like:

  • “We made a large investment in CRM, but we are not seeing the increased revenues, decreased costs, and/or enhanced customer engagement we were expecting; how can we turn this around?”
  • “Our CRM user adoption rates are way below expectation; how do we reverse this?
  • “Our CRM technology is out of sync with many of our core sales, marketing, and customer service business processes; can this be fixed?”

You’re missing a crucial component in converting sales, developing highly-informed, targeted efforts and countless opportunities to know your customer better. 

For a limited time, all who engage ISM for a Health Check or Readiness Assessment will receive up to 10 complimentary copies of Barton's latest book: The Definitive Guide to Social CRM.
