  • Software Enables the Human Touch, Reveals its Power.
    The acronym CRM stands for “Customer Relationship Management”, and yet when it comes to the intangibles of customer service it has always been up against the prevailing slogan, “Conclusive Results Matter.” Salespeople have always lived by this mantra, they know that talk is cheap, that leads are nothing until closed, and that only performance counts. Added to this layer of first-time customer acquisition is the deeper and more subtle layer of customer retention, more bluntly called repeat business, and this is a world that salespeople don’t necessarily involve themselves in: the metrics of retention are often far removed from anything they can claim as performance. CRM software has developed along the lines of these underlying dynamics: the focus has been on customer acquisition. Changes in thinking that now lead the software into realms of service and support, and into providing a unique experience for each individual customer, derive more from the brutal facts of customer loss and subscriber churn than from any epiphany of good marketing. . . .

  • Customer Service and Support – The Forgotten Space
    In the world of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) enterprises are beginning to wake up to the fact that Customer Service and Support is an important part of their business. Customer Service and Support automates service requests, complaints, product returns and enquiries. This is the necessary walk that follows the talk of sales, the place where one slip throws away all the money spent on acquisition costs of customers, as they abandon the enterprise, dissatisfied, never to return, and tell all their best friends why. This decade has seen the...
