Why Bother? Because...

“Businesses typically lose 15-20% of their customers each year.” - Grace Butland10

“Companies can boost profits by almost 100% by retaining just 5% more of their customers.” - Reichheld and Sasser10

Tipper Tie

Strategy The company needed to change the way its

customer-facing staff worked, including the eight call center operators, 16 member field sales force and 8 repair technicians.

Tipper Tie

Process TT needed a system to trim the cost of

generating sales leads and produce more sales from its best customers by providing better service and better communications between its service channels.

Tipper Tie

Integrated Architecture Utilized Siebel Systems’ stand-alone call centers and

sales force CRM modules to link the sales reps in the field and the call center into the same continually updated customer data view.

“Cross functional and pilot teams are keys to success…it saves a tremendous amount of time and effort later on by including their insight expertise and gaining their support.” - Elizabeth Herrell, Giga Information Group13


Tipper Tie

Outcome Bender estimates that Siebel system will pay for

itself in a little over two years. Each sales rep has approximately 18 more days per

year in face-time selling that they would have spent generating reports or dealing with the peripherals.

TT is much more responsive to customers by providing better communication between the customer and the company

Critical Success Factors

Evaluate current customers’ impact on business. CRM must start with determining what kind of customer information the company is looking for and what it intends to do with the information.

Evaluate business environment to understand how current customer relationships impact business retention and growth.



Develop a strategy that is well articulated to give unequivocal direction and value to all employees Strategy must not only parallel current mission

but be able to adjust with changing business requirements

Strategy must be embraced by the CEO, COO, CMO and supported by IT

14 "The Truth about CRM" CIO Magazine; May 1, 2001; Susannah Patton


Find the CRM vendor that can meet your requirements not define them Gartner Group reports even the highest rated

CRM application suite only delivered 51% of the necessary components to get a complete view of the customer.14



Methodical approach to rollout Handpick dynamic employees to “sell” new

systems to their co-workers Make information from all parts of the

enterprise available to employees who deal with customers



Work hand-in-hand with vendor(s), consultants and users to ensure progress being made is reflective of the planned CRM solution. Watch for implementation atrophy Good project management = 50% you + 50% client Open your enterprise to make it easier for

customers to use your systems



Evaluate and update the strategy The goal is to lock customers into a mutually

beneficial long-term relationship. The CRM strategy aligns an entire organization toward customers in a way that benefits partners, suppliers and improves the financial bottom line.

The Future of CRM

Impacted by the downturn in the economy, however not necessarily negative. “You have to grow and retain the existing

customers.” - Nelle Schantz17

17 "Analytical CRM is the next step" Insurance and Technology; New York; Oct 2001; Gregory MacSweeney

The Future of CRM

Analytical CRM “Many companies have already invested in

operational CRM products…now that the hardware is in place, companies want the ability to build one view of the customer. Get the customer data, clean it, do some pretty serious data mining and then deploy the knowledge to the front offices.”17


“The days of mass marketing are over. If you don’t know your customers

intimately, you don’t know where your next profit is coming from.”
