Tips and Tricks #1 para Bigin by Zoho CRM, por Alejandro Mora
¡Hola usuarios!

Hoy iniciamos una nueva serie de Tips and Tricks, esta vez sobre uno de nuestros productos más intuitivos, Bigin. ¡Bienvenidos a los Tips and Tricks de Bigin by Zoho CRM!

El uso de herramientas de gestión de clientes, oportunidades y procesos de venta se ha convertido en una parte esencial y fundamental dentro del buen funcionamiento de cualquier empresa que desee comercializar sus productos. Normalmente, este tipo de herramientas suele recibir el nombre común de CRM (Customer Relationship Management).

No todos los CRM son iguales ni todos los CRM solucionan los mismos retos que como empresa te puedes llegar a plantear durante tu actividad. Es por ello que, a la hora de elegir una herramienta, es importante que conozcas bien en detalle todos los aspectos que puede ofrecerte, cómo se compenetra con tus objetivos y cómo los puede potenciar para asegurar el éxito de tu organización.

Tip #0 ¿Qué pasa con mis clientes?

Para poder alcanzar los éxitos de tu empresa tenemos que empezar por la génesis de todo, tus clientes. Sin ellos nada es posible y sin ellos poco puedes hacer como compañía. 

Existen infinidad de métodos para conseguir nuevos clientes y potenciales clientes con sus contactos correspondientes. Y aunque a primera vista parece algo positivo es en cierta medida un regalo envenenado. Tarjetas de presentación, correos electrónicos, contactos en LinkedIn, llamadas telefónicas, reuniones en eventos, seminarios, amigos de amigos... Todo esto son fuentes diferentes de información con las que poco a poco vas construyendo tu cartera de clientes pero observarás que cada uno puede venir de una parte muy diferente. Esto puede hacer que acabes teniendo decenas de ficheros con contactos que en muchos casos puede que estén duplicados y te acabe restando eficiencia en tus negocios. Otro problema es que con diferentes archivos no tendrás una imagen completa de cuál es la situación del cliente y si tienes algún acuerdo próximo a cerrar.
