Partnership network & connecting with your customers
We create partnerships to build our network and grow our connected customers. In doing so, at times, we fail to maintain that customer relationship. So continuous connections with your customer is a key driver to a successful business.
Understanding the customer journey including how both traction and friction can be managed, helps businesses understand what the market demand is.
We know that whilst a customer in a service-based environment tend to consider price as a key element, most like to use the service provider they are comfortable with and understand their process.
In a service-based environment, as a professional, you create a unified approach to how you deliver that service and support you to bring unique competitiveness to your business.
When you grow through your partnership network, your customer drive is one of the key indicators of that partnership working successfully. T
o maintain the success, you must then have a good process and life cycle. This is where a software to manage your customer becomes an essential part.
I am sure most of us have come across the notion of a CRM, known as the customer relationship management platform, which helps to build on the connectivity your partnership have created.

So how does a CRM help to improve on customer delivery service
We know that a centralised platform like a CRM, brings value to your customer ecosystem and helps to manage the customer life cycle.
It does enhance the process of connection with your customer and your business. Growing your network through the CRM helps to manage your relationship and improve on customer retention.
Choosing the right CRM will make a difference to your business but a CRM does not change a business's behaviour on its partnering network. It helps to enhance this. At the same time, maintaining your customer relationship through communication is vital.
We live at a digital world however as professionals, you should not remove the human effect to your service delivery.
You can automate some of the functions to remind your customer but removing the human touch or not personalising the contact, will not improve on your customer relationship.
Customer demands in the digital world
An open space with a source of information available whether on our mobile or laptop, means businesses have to be ever-interactive on how they deliver their professional service. The digital world is where accessibility has improved, you could be sitting somewhere and connecting to a space somewhere else.
This is the shift in change that partnership network will evolve and help to deliver great customer service and meet today's demand.
Customers need to feel connected in a professional service, so both a CRM and technology will improve on this. At the same time, it would not replace the human touch, as this is the confidence builder in a partnership. Whether that partnership you have a with another professional or a customer, the human relationship is not replaced.
