Reimagine Customer Experience with Salesforce Implementation

Customer Experience

February 11, 2022

In one of its analyses, Gartner quotes, “The CRM sales software market grew by 10.9% to register an overall revenue of $17.5 billion in 2020. Sales growth slowed from 13.7% due to working from home in the selling environment and an accelerating shift to digital channels and digital commerce in 2020.”

The Stellar Force Behind a Thriving Business

In today’s digital world, customer expectations have changed dramatically. To keep up with this demand for quick responses and instant gratification from customers, many companies are reinventing themselves. As technology evolves, so do our needs  forcing businesses to innovate more than ever as customers increasingly want differentiating services. This demanding and continuously shifting ecosystem is creating more challenges for the CXOs who are already battling the responsibilities to increase revenues and decrease costs. This has resulted in more focused strategies on customer acquisition and retention through optimized Customer Engagement.

The One for All and All for One tool

Customer Engagement Strategy is an essential component in the arsenal of any company seeking to improve their profitability and improve business relationships with customers. The aim? To provide businesses with data on existing customer touchpoints, which can be used for better product, service and retention tactics – like cross-selling or upselling products more effectively. And let’s face it, we are all aware of the potential of technology, especially when it is driven towards increased profits and provides data about each customer’s touchpoints enabling improved services, cross-selling and customer retention.

This is where Salesforce, the cloud computing service that allows you to customize your bespoke solution, plays a crucial role. It is a well-known fact that Salesforce can integrate with external applications or create one completely from scratch, which will perfectly serve the needs of any business and the advantages of Salesforce customer experience and engagement are also widely regarded. It can be seamlessly integrated while allowing users maximum flexibility to customize their own apps. Salesforce has many benefits that make your business more efficient and effective at managing everything – from customers to inventory levels with ease and its flexible nature makes using this system easy for a broader range of users.

Seek guidance from one who is a master

Salesforce implementation can be overwhelming if you don’t have the skilled expertise, the time to dedicate all of your attention, and the technical know-how. Implementing Salesforce requires absolute dedication to prevent data loss during transition periods. To get the most out of your Salesforce investment, it’s important to have an expert friend and guide; a knowledgeable partner with experience in this domain and industry best practices who will be able to dive into what needs to be done from start-to-finish while integrating new technology seamlessly into the existing processes. The right Salesforce implementation partner can go a long way in helping you through your digital transformation.

Selecting an experienced, long-term and cost-efficient Salesforce consulting partner who has relevant industry experience is crucial to your success. Narrowing down on the perfect Salesforce partner might seem daunting at first glance, considering the variety of options available in the market today. Be sure to select one with dependable credibility and experience, who can withstand changing business requirements, improve your current process and provide end-to-end architectural guidance for a successful implementation. The potential partner should have a pool of certified professionals and be flexible regarding the scalability of workloads  based on your business requirements while ensuring optimal efficiency during implementation. An integral part of extending an end-to-end plan is future-proofing your business against challenges that may possibly emerge.

To summarize it, all you need is complete business transformation with an experienced Salesforce partner like Hexaware, who has completed numerous successful Salesforce implementations in agreed timelines on various engagement models over time.
