Types of CRM Analytics

There are three primary types of CRM analytics systems: collaborative,

operational and analytical. Each comes with special features that provide
functionality, such as storing customer data, identifying customer
trends or automating certain tasks.

The following are the main characteristics of each CRM type.

Collaborative CRM
A collaborative CRM system aims to streamline processes and workflows
across various organizational structures. It facilitates cross-departmental
collaboration by providing a centralized customer database that every
department -- including marketing, sales and customer service -- can
access. This centralized repository offers visibility into all customer
communications, including purchase history, service requests and notes.
This type of CRM equips customer service representatives with the tools
they need to resolve customer issues and expedite services.

Collaborative CRM tools are based on the following two aspects:

Interaction management. This entails keeping track of and aggregating all

customer interactions in the customer account, from the communication
medium -- email, social media and face-to-face -- to what was
communicated.
Channel management. Customers contact a business through many
different channels, including chat, email, text and social media. To offer a
great customer experience, businesses must keep track of their
customers' preferred communication mediums. Channel management
uses the information collected through interaction management and CRM
records to determine how customers contacted the business, so the same
preferred channels can be used to get back to them.
Operational CRM
An operational CRM system automates numerous processes by providing
a detailed picture of all customer interactions. Various company tasks,
including sales forecasting, creating and evaluating marketing campaigns
and identifying prospects are all automated through operational CRM.

An operational CRM system consists of the following three elements:

Sales. The main purpose of an operational CRM system is to acquire new

customers and maintain existing ones. It's used to set standards within a
company, organize information efficiently to meet customer needs and
increase sales. It employs various CRM sales modules, such as lead
management, contact management, sales forecasting and quote-to-order
management.
Marketing. This involves finding the best way to offer products and target
potential customers. For example, marketing professionals may reach out
to specific audiences with personalized messaging. This may also include
creating segmented marketing distribution lists for targeted sales,
onboarding, repeat purchases and re-engagement campaigns.
Customer service. This is the support staff who manages contact and
customer communications. The customer support staff may present self-
service options to customers, answer their queries, escalate issues,
perform case routing and offer satisfaction surveys.

Analytical CRM
An analytical CRM system works behind the scenes to analyze the sales
data gathered by operational CRM apps. It tracks various performance
metrics to offer actionable insights into consumer behavior. This may
benefit a company during its communications with the customer, as it can
present the customer with relevant information to help satisfy their
requests. Its primary components are a data mining module and OLAP
tools.
An analytical CRM system provides reports on the following factors:

1. Channel. It collects customer information from various channels

and structures it for analysis.
2. Customer. It helps examine customer characteristics and patterns
of behavior.
3. Customer service. Analytical CRM helps enhance customer
relationships and loyalty by providing various business
methodologies in sales, marketing and support.
4. Marketing. It looks at past performances, customer demographics
and buyer personas to optimize marketing campaigns.
5. Sales. It determines the efficiency of the sales pipeline and sales
prospects and also helps manage leads.

Common CRM metrics

To improve customer relations, an organization needs to quantify and
analyze the data it receives from specific CRM metrics. These metrics
offer better control over a company's sales and marketing efforts, as
they can be used to measure success and the overall performance of an
organization.

Here are some of the most common CRM metrics:

Customer turnover. This refers to the percentage of customers a

business has lost over a certain period. This can be the most important
and painful metric for a business to measure. While it isn't always easy
to review the number of lost customers, it does enable a business to
pivot its efforts toward containing the customer numbers. Customer
turnover can be calculated on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis.

Net promoter score (NPS). This metric measures a customer's

satisfaction levels with a business and how likely they are to recommend
it to someone else. To calculate the NPS, common customer research
questions are presented to customers with a rating assessment.

Rate of renewal. This is an important metric to monitor for companies

offering subscription-based services that require customers to renew
their contracts periodically. The renewal rate assesses a company's
growth in terms of retaining current and new customers, and it can be
measured monthly or annually. For example, if a company has 100
contracts at the start of the year and renews 95 contracts, its renewal
rate is 95%.

Cost of retention. This is the total cost a business incurs to retain a

customer. It may include costs associated with customer service,
customer success, customer engagement, marketing or any training
provided by the business. To calculate how much a business spends on
a certain customer, the following two factors should be considered:

Length of the sales cycle. This measures how long it takes someone
to buy from a business. The metric identifies the time between the
moment when a prospective customer is identified to the time the sales
process is closed. This helps accelerate the sales cycle of a business by
identifying potential problems.

First call resolution (FCR). The success of a business depends on

resolving customer issues as quickly as possible. The FCR measures
the percentage of issues resolved on the first customer contact. A high
FCR means the customer support team is diligent and responding to
customer requests promptly.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). This metric measures the

average value of a customer over time, based on the business and
profits they've generated for the business. CLV is an estimate of the total
revenue a business can expect to secure from a single customer
throughout the length of its contract.

 Applications of CRM analytics
Once CRM analytics are set up, they offer organizations insights into
understanding and using the CRM data that's mined. Organizations can
use CRM analytics in the following ways:

1. Customer segmentation groups. Customers can be divided into

one of two groups -- those most and least likely to repurchase a
product.
2. Profitability analysis and customer value. CRM analytics can
provide insight into which customers contribute to the highest profits
over time. This involves understanding not just how much a
customer spends, but how many resources are dedicated to that
customer.
3. Personalization. Organizations can market to individual customers
based on the data collected about them. This requires obtaining
a 360-degree customer view.
4. Measuring and tracking escalation. CRM analytics help measure
how often problems arise with a product or service so an
organization can rectify the issue and quickly achieve customer
satisfaction.
5. Predictive modeling. A mathematical process predicts future
success by analyzing the customer knowledge base and the patterns
and levels of customer engagement.

Data collection and analysis are viewed as a continuing and iterative

process. Over time, business decisions are refined based on feedback
from earlier analyses and consequent decisions.

 Challenges in CRM Analytics
Siloed data. While most CRM platforms are stored centrally, different
departments may rely on separate CRM software, which can create data
silos. For example, if a customer calls with a question, a sales agent may
transfer them to the service department if they don't have access to the
same information, which may cause the customer to repeat themselves.
Most organizations can solve this problem by investing in a customer data
platform. A CDP can centrally store information from CRM tools and other
sources that all employees can access.

Software integration. A major challenge with CRM analytics is

the integration of analytical software with existing and new systems. If the
software doesn't integrate, the collected data can become difficult to use.

Data entry. CRM platforms without AI integrations require agents to

manually enter data into the system to keep customer accounts up to
date. Manual entry can be cumbersome for agents who travel frequently
and may not have the time to constantly update the system. AI-integrated
CRM can simplify data entry by automatically populating customer
accounts with information from emails, texts and phone calls.

Adoption resistance. At times, organizations may face resistance to CRM

adoption when convincing employees to get on board with the new CRM
system and migrate away from the old processes. Leadership plays an
important role in making this transition easier for employees who might be
struggling to embrace the new CRM platform.

SOURCE: https://www.techtarget.com/searchcustomerexperience/definition/CRM-analytics
 Analyzing CRM metrics
Once a business has gathered its CRM metrics, it's time to analyze them.
This process is generally divided into a pre- and post-sales analysis.

Pre-sales CRM analytics

The pre-sales process includes all the activities that occur before a
customer purchases a product or service. These activities often include
product research, prospecting and identifying sales-qualified leads, as
well as market research, customer analysis and selling propositions. It's
crucial to track these metrics because they're the building blocks of a long-
lasting customer relationship.

The most important pre-sales CRM metrics to analyze include:

New leads. Most sales teams spend a big chunk of time trying to find new
customers by sending proposals or making phone calls. Businesses
should analyze these activities thoroughly to observe the effect they have
on conversion rates.
Prospects. Finding prospects is an integral part of a sales team's outreach
efforts. Companies should analyze the conversion rates of prospects to
weed out ineffective strategies.
Personal interactions. Every customer interaction is a chance to create a
potential customer and shouldn't be limited to cold calling or sending
emails. It's important to analyze the number of calls that lead to
conversations, along with their length and occurrences.
Website and additional engagement. Many CRM programs can identify
site visitors and potential customers who engage with a business through
other channels, including social media or newsletter signups. By analyzing
these metrics, businesses can come up with potential leads to target.
Post-sales CRM analytics
The goal of any business should be to turn a one-time customer into a
returning customer. To achieve this goal, it's important to keep track of
the sales funnel, including the customer experience. A business should
also find ways to keep the momentum going after a sale is completed.

The following are the main post-sales CRM metrics to analyze:

1. Problem tracking. Businesses must record any problems voiced by

customers regarding products, services or other interactions. If a
business is oblivious to the problems its customers face, it runs the
risk of losing them.
2. Additional purchases. It's important to track other products the
customer has purchased from the business, as it presents the
organization with an opportunity to determine which products to
market to them in the future.
3. Purchasing patterns. Businesses should investigate the purchasing
patterns of those customers who have signed up for subscription-
based services. The reasons behind their loyalty and motivation
should also be assessed to discover whether the customer is likely
to continue purchasing in the future. This can help a business avoid
potential customer churn by offering discounts, coupons or other
loyalty benefits to existing customers.
