Scenario
Disparate systems and lack of a formal CRM tool make it challenging to easily identify sales opportunity within the existing client base.
Business Challenge
Winning new business is important and critical to all agencies; however, most will have small sales teams in relation to the company size. That’s because they often gain repeat business with their customers for on-going project work. They need to proactively understand what has been previously sold to their existing customers, what projects have been completed or on-going as well as any products sold to identify additional opportunity with the customer and increase win rates.
NetSuite OpenAir Solution
OpenAir with NetSuite provides a 360-degree view of the customer with sales activity, opportunities, projectsm and product sales at your finger tips. All client touch points from phone calls, to events, to emails are stored on the customer record. Existing and past opportunities/pitches are stored as well as Projects with the status to determine where additional services may be provided. Order history is stored to see what services were purchased with the ability to up-sell additional services/products. This visibility is a game changer for growing a agency through its existing customer base.
