CRM - Customer Relationship Management.
Maintain customer relationships with channels, intermediaries
and customer
when marketing and selling through intermediaries.
Many
businesses sell their products and services to the end user through
partners, distributors, dealers, retailers, financial intermediaries,
and other similar channels.
This
process raises some important issues in seeking an effective customer
relationship process and systems.
Some
of the frequently issues raised are:
Who is the customer, intermediary or buyer?
Who owns the customer?
Who 'owns' for marketing purposes, the product or service sold?
What is the lifecycle of the product?
What happens if (when) the relationship with the intermediary
changes?
Can the diverse interests of the manufacturer, publisher, underwriter,
packager be combined for constructive relationship building?
What is the role of the 'brand'?
How do outsourced services fit into the relationship building/management
process?
We
can help you address these issues in terms of your business, establish
appropriate processes and relate these to required systems.
