Collect Customer Data Early and Often

Summit Blog Collect Customer Data Early and Often

As the front line of customer engagement, sales revenue leaders play a crucial role in shaping a company’s overall strategy and improving customer experience (CX). By gathering valuable insights from customer interactions, they can shed light on areas for improvement and drive revenue growth in the long run.

One effective way to gain a comprehensive understanding of the customer journey is by creating a customer journey map. This map tracks customers’ experiences and reveals pain points and moments of truth in the sales process. This information can then be used to improve CX, better predict revenue, and make data-driven decisions.

For instance, if sales revenue executives notice that only a few customers are upgrading from a free service to a paid one, they can experiment with new approaches to encourage purchases. By using digital nudges, such as reminding customers of the limited time left to use the free service, revenue leaders can iterate and refine their approach until they find what resonates with customers.

Thanks to advances in technology, it’s now easier than ever to track and analyze customer behavior. With the use of data analytics, AI, and machine learning, companies can gain a deeper understanding of every digital touchpoint and measure its impact on CX. This allows revenue leaders to evaluate the success of different initiatives, compare the effectiveness of different communication channels, and make data-driven decisions.

One such decision is the identification of high-value customers in the sales pipeline. By using data analytics, revenue leaders can determine which customers are most likely to complete a purchase, and allocate resources accordingly. This helps companies avoid wasting time and resources on low-value prospects and accurately predict future revenue.

Sales revenue leaders play a vital role in driving growth and improving CX. By leveraging technology and data-driven insights, they can make informed decisions, optimize customer journeys, and ultimately drive revenue growth.

"Easy to Work With"
Angie W.

Northwoods worked with Summit to help migrate our Microsoft Dynamics CRM system to Salesforce.  Mike and his team were extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and easy to work with.  They were able to help us configure the system to handle complex business processes while making the system easy for end users.  They were also able to migrate all our legacy Dynamics data to the new Salesforce system.  Summit helped train our technical team on Salesforce administration while keeping the project on time and under budget.  I highly recommend Summit for any Salesforce-related project.

"Mind Blowing!"
Rachael H.

As a leader of a small non-profit aimed to scale rapidly and efficiently, I knew it was critical to transition from antiquated spreadsheets to a sophisticated CRM. We dabbled in Salesforce on our own the year prior. To put it mildly, I was terrified to go there again. Mike and his team at Summit met my apprehension with confidence and reassurance. They were timely, efficient and positioned us to utilize Salesforce in ways we hadn’t imagined. Every day I’m in awe of what Salesforce can do; to Mike’s credit for imparting his wisdom. Summit has positioned us for unprecedented opportunities at Walk with a Doc. Thank you!

"BEST Salesforce Consultant Available"
Catherine Z.

We went through 3 consultants before finding Summit. The difference was night and day, and the cost was very reasonable. They helped us get our Communities up and running in less than a week (after 2 other teams essentially dragged their feet for 9 months - yes, 9 months!). We are ecstatic! We also have Managed Services with them, for a few hundred bucks a month they are our go-to for anything Salesforce. The team is INSTANTLY responsive - like within 2 minutes. I have experienced other consultants and can tell you, there is no comparison. Hire Summit!

"Did a Wonderful Job"
Paige B.

We have primarily been using Salesforce for our sales team. Recently we decided to bring our support team on and Summit did an awesome job helping us get everything set up the way we needed.

"Great Learning and Implementation"
Annette H.

Great experience with Summit. They are very knowledgeable about Salesforce and their turn around is outstanding. I am looking forward to working Part 2 of our plan with them.

"Transformation Data w/ Excellent Service"
Kay W.

The skill set and knowledge that Mike Leibrand has brought to this project far surpasses our initial expectation- especially since our initial contact with Salesforce corp. was challenged in regards to utilizing training videos to suit our scope and need. Mike has been helpful in supporting our team with a custom solution in order for us to be able to serve our community better. He is timely and professional, and eager to learn about the why before telling us the what.

"Made our Dream CRM a Reality!"
Matt S.

Mike and his team at Summit Tech made our Salesforce dream a reality. As a small non-profit on a limited budget with very specific CRM needs we were challenged to find a suitable Salesforce partner. Fortunately we were introduced to Summit Tech, and from day one they made the formidable task of implementing Salesforce doable (and even enjoyable!). Mike is a pro, from his accessibility and communication to industry knowledge and attitude, he never said 'no' to a request. When we encountered hiccups along the way he took the time to trouble shoot and make fixes, even when it was outside the original scope of the project. We didn't deviate from the project timeline or budget, which says a lot considering our custom needs for data collection/reporting, donor communication, and third party plug-ins. If you are considering implementing Salesforce or have any Salesforce needs, I highly recommend Mike and his team.
