Activating CRM investment
A multinational healthcare company operating worldwide was struggling to secure uptake and get value from their investment in a Salesforce CRM system.
Addressing poor buy-in from key stakeholders
To streamline activities, gather data, and enable better segmentation, the company made a strategic decision to invest in Salesforce. However, 1-2 years into the implementation they were struggling to get the field force to use the system in a consistent way. This impacted the insights that they were generating. One of the problems was that reps saw it as a burden to insert data into the CRM – as they did not experience added value to their customer engagements.
More value to reps and customers
To provide more value to the field force, the company decided to connect Agnitio’s multichannel engagement software to their CRM system.
Now, when reps were planning for a call in the CRM system, they immediately had useful customer insights available – and they could prepare for the call with the relevant pre-approved content. It also empowered the reps to mix remote, digital and face-to-face engagement to meet the customers’ individual needs.
In addition, the reps no longer needed to manually enter data, as this was automatically captured by Agnitio’s multichannel system. The brand team was also assured that reps only used pre-approved, compliant content.
