Customer relationship management (CRM) systems are designed to track, collect, monitor, analyze, and report franchise customer data, which helps you to easily communicate with them. Along with this, CRM also ensures seamless workflow of your franchise sales and marketing operations.
Here’s how a CRM system helps your franchise business.
01. Automation of Process
Every operation cannot be handled using a spreadsheet and assigned to every department. For making your franchise a big success, operations need to run smoothly on schedule.
A CRM system helps you in achieving this by automating most of the repetitive and time-consuming marketing and customer relationship processes, thereby saving your team’s energy and time for carrying out high-value tasks.
02. Integration into the Franchise Lifecycle
Due to the various features of a CRM system like automating, creating, scheduling, etc. of customer communication, it can be used at any stage of the franchise lifecycle.
However, the system should be capable of easily integrating into the franchise system, and the information seamlessly transferred from different franchise sales processes to related areas.
03. Managing Campaigns
The most important part of a successful franchise business is marketing campaigns. CRM systems are capable of creating, analyzing, scheduling, and monitoring these campaigns. Many CRM systems have the capability to carry out email marketing campaigns and send text campaigns as well.
The initial campaign setting is time-consuming, but later it saves your time and money.
04. Source Tracking of Franchise Leads
It is important to track the source of your leads, such as social media, search engines, paid campaigns, referral marketing, etc., since it lets your franchise decide where and how much funds to invest in marketing.
Your source tracking helps you determine the number of leads generated by each source and overall leads, which helps in analyzing the franchise success rate. Along with these, source tracking helps in deciding the cost per lead and return on investment (ROI) of your franchise business.
05. Analysis & Reporting
Analysis and reporting play an important role in decision making. Your CRM helps in collating the data, analyzing, and reporting it in a cognizable manner. This provides valuable insights into your campaigns, communication, content, interacting channels, lead funnels, etc.
