5 Ways Zoho CRM Increases Customer Retention

5 Ways Zoho CRM Increases Customer Retention

Do you know how does a business acquire revenue and grow further? It can only be possible either by getting new customers or by retaining its existing customers.

Pareto’s 80-20 principle is applicable in every business, and according to it, 20% of existing customers generate 80% of revenue, while new customers contribute only 20% to the total revenue. So the business should focus on satisfying existing customers rather than acquiring new ones, which will pave the path towards consistent revenue growth. If you aim at increasing customer retention rate, Zoho Implementation will help you to control business interactions with Your Customers through Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

Why Should You Care About Customer Retention?

Your customer retention rate is a number that shows whether your marketing and customer care efforts are fortifying your business or just draining your money.

Customer retention isn’t just about how your marketing and sales teams are doing. When you follow this number, you get to know about the vital changes or switch gears to reach your sales and growth goals.

It’s fair that every business needs new customers, but generating revenue from existing customers is the easiest way ever. 5 major reasons that you should care about customer retention for your business:

  1. Better Conversion Rates
  2. Less Marketing
  3. Higher Profits
  4. Improvement in Services
  5. Fewer expenditures

So the businesses should never underestimate the value of customer retention and should start being proactive about keeping their existing customers.

How can Zoho CRM Implementation improve Customer Retention?

 

Zoho CRM software has made businesses grow faster. It helps you to get more deals, boost up sales, and make customers engaged with your business. But when it comes to customer retention, there are several ways adopted to deal with customers such as online communication and web assistance. Social media is another method to reach potential clients and staying connected with existing clients of your company. Zoho Integrations with social media and email accounts can promote your business online.

Companies that use Zoho CRM can stay closer to their customers by tracking records of current customers and identifying loyal customers to reward them. This technique not only holds your existing customers but also bring more customers.

With Zoho CRM, you can integrate all your applications and databases into the software, and a simple search enables you to recognize your high-value clients. Based on the history of clients, you can easily classify the leading clients and identify their requirements. By doing so, you can focus on your potential clients and utilize valuable time in keeping them happy in spite of attracting new clients. You can also reach out to inactive customers who are no longer associated with your company and make extra efforts to get them back to your business.

Create Personalized Offers:


Most businesses offer lucrative deals and discounts to attract new customers, but when it comes to existing customers, only a few businesses present value-added offers. With Zoho CRM, you don’t need to beat around the bush to recognize what your existing customers love. Just pick any customer or group of customers that you want to target, and you will get every bit of information about that customer right there. You will get familiar with their product preferences, purchase patterns, price sensitivity, how often they visit your website, and even the date and time of their last purchase.

Briefly, you get to know everything that is important to make an offer the customer cannot refuse! This action will not only strengthen the chance of conversion manifolds, but your customers will also feel special.

                                                                                                                Hi, I was wondering what would be the best practice to import items and composite items (assemblies) From my backup, what should I import first? The items or the composite items? I am on Zoho one, using inventory and books. Kind regards, Sabine

                                                                                                                Hello, I am adding stock in bulk on a PO, the system is automatically populating the Rate (price) and Tax from the item data. Problem is that the bill rate is different from the rate on the item data, so I have to manually erase each and enter the price.
