CRM for Professional Service Firms

Tags:  

Focus:

  • Know more and sell more to your clients
  • Track service delivery and project management

Capabilities:

Services Sales Management: Manage the entire sales cycle — track leads and opportunities, generate proposals and contracts, forecast service bookings and support resources — from a single view of the client.

Services Item Catalog: Create a portfolio of services including client-specific price levels, discounting rules based on the number of packages or units purchased and preferred-client pricing with pre-negotiated price levels and terms.

Project/Job Tracking: Manage and track multiple types of projects or jobs with linked activities that clients, along with sales, service-delivery and support personnel can view. Manage complex relationship structures by linking multiple-project jobs and sub-projects with customers and opportunities.

Advanced Calendaring and Activity Time Tracking: Share calendars, develop schedules and monitor assets. Time-tracked activities (tasks, calls and meeting events) let managers track the employee actions on an individual or per-project basis.

Client Self-Service Center: A secure, password-protected center where clients can: track project status, past bookings, outstanding quotes and client-specific shared documents; search knowledge bases, access FAQs or submit a trouble ticket.

Service Personnel Specific Dashboards: Role-specific dashboards provide real-time access to services forecasting, revenue, project status, project alerts, client support incidents and more.

Document Management: Store, organize and set access restrictions for files such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF. Publish files to intranets or wikis, corporate Web sites or client self-service centers.

Client Support & Service: Record and track client contact by e-mail, the Web and phone. Includes automatic escalation rules to meet contractual service level agreements. Provides customer service personnel with tools to process trouble-ticket handling.

One thing Zoho CRM is missing for professional service firms is relationships.

Creating N:N relationships in CRM is critical to its usability.

Hi Jsbowie,

Wondering if Zoho CRM customization may help in this respect? My thinking is proper business process customization as well as report customization could prove useful.
