What's Salesforce CRM and Why You Should Integrate it With Your ERP
Salesforce is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system designed to help you develop stronger, lasting relationships with your customers and prospects.
Salesforce can do many things for your business, including:
Empower you to close more deals
With Salesforce, you can track all of your customer information and interactions in one place. This means you can have a complete view of your customers and prospects, including activity history, key contacts, customer communications, and internal account discussions. You also maintain all the details on your team’s involvement with the project (stage, products, quotes, etc.)
Help you find and nurture leads
Lead management through Salesforce allows you to track your leads through the entire sales process from click to close. With Salesforce’s marketing automation tool, Pardot, you can create, deploy, and manage effective online campaigns in order to generate and qualify more leads.
Allow you to make insightful decisions
Salesforce allows you to maintain reports and dashboards that offer a real-time picture of your business at a glance. You can dig deeper with detailed reports that can be custom-built, and access your reports and dashboards anywhere, anytime. With Salesforce, sales forecasting is fast, easy, and accurate since you have a complete view of your entire pipeline and are able to take action where necessary.
