management to win more deals |
Once a lead comes in the door, whose job is it to convert that lead to a sales opportunity: marketing or sales? The lead conversion black hole has long been cause for dispute between marketing and sales teams. Marketing will argue it has generated leads and passed it to sales. Sales will complain that leads aren’t qualified. If this sounds like your organization, it’s time to break down artificial departmental walls and work together on lead processing, qualification, follow-up, nurturing and processing so you can convert more leads into customers. With this white paper, you will learn five keys to improving lead management to win more deals.

| The Customer Relationship Management Maturity Scale (CRMM) | A Self-Assessment Guide for Small to Mid-Size Businesses |
Most businesses, no matter what their size, recognize the strategic importance of Customer Relationship Management (CRM), but some – especially small to mid-size businesses (SMBs) – continue to use basic contact managers or simple spreadsheets to track customers, manage leads, collaborate on sales, and manage customers. While the value of CRM can be clearly demonstrated with improved customer satisfaction and
increased revenues, some organizations still perceive the effort to implement CRM greater than the potential benefits. However, the reality is that more and more
businesses are rapidly adopting the use of CRM technology due to the concern that they will fall behind their competitors.

Financial firms are challenged to meet new client acquisition targets while exceeding the expectations of current clients. To outstrip the competition, firms need to understand clients and potential clients better than competing firms. CRM is designed to help firms personalize the investing experience - tracking not simply the products held by a client but also their complete history with the firm, relationships to other investors or brokers and products held in competing organizations.
In this white paper, you will gain knowledge to create a consistent client experience that is beyond reproach and ultimately secure a higher proportion of each individual client’s assets available for management.

Profitability with Maximizer |
| Realigning a company's employees and
processes to focus on customer satisfaction is
not always easy. The sales department is focused
on closing deals, the marketing department is
focused on generating leads, and the service
department is trying to pull in their own
revenue - so who's job is it to care about the
customer? It's everyone's job.
For these companies, having the leadership to
create a customer-focused business strategy and
corporate culture was the first step. Redefining
processes and providing staff with the tools to
service the customers was the second step.
