Profit Boosting Strategies Through CRM Software MYOB Integration

Let's look at some simple & practical ways to use CRM software capabilities, which we will call "financially-enhanced marketing" to increase profitability. The new information and strategies now available to you and your marketing team fall into two areas: analysis and targeting.

To make profitable decisions, marketers must know their customers well. CRM software supports this by providing the means to collect and store a wide range of profiling information, such as:

> Demographic details such as their name, age, address, gender and race.

> Geographic location so you will always know the area that they are in for marketing purposes.

> Responses to surveys so you can see who responded to a prior survey and who didn't. You will also be able to see how many people responded positively and negatively to a marketing campaign.

> Responses to past marketing campaigns are also a great indicator of who is likely to respond to any future marketing campaigns.

> Use of post-sales support services and the full history of their interactions with your customer service department.

However, without ready access to customer purchase and payment information, marketers are seeing only half the picture. Traditionally your customer's A/R transactions have been sealed away in MYOB, out of reach of the marketing people who could guide your business to more profitable decisions and strategies. Imagine the improvement in the quality of your planning and decision-making from knowing these metrics.

By utilizing CRM software, you are giving your company the boost it needs and saving money in the long run because your marketing campaigns will be more focused. In the past, companies have marketed to various people from various locations. This can get so expensive. Not to mention it can be quite ineffective because you are marketing to a whole area or group of people versus marketing to a specific set of customers or a specific area who would better benefit from the product or service that you are marketing.

With CRM software you can get the big picture when it comes to your customers and their buying patterns. Imagine if you just use an accounting program like MYOB or even just track everything in a spreadsheet. How much more difficult would it be to get the same targeted information? Slim to none. Sure it can be done but with a lot of time and effort which means in the end you're spending more money to pay someone to sort through all that data. So it winds up costing you more in doing the research before the marketing campaign even gets off the ground. CRM software can boost your profits when you use it as a collaborative tool with your next marketing campaign.
