Salesforce CRM Analytics Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The CRM analytics for us is really that insight into bridging that customer experience and advisor experience. With the wealth management advisors that we support, how do we look at how they're engaging with the platform versus the outcomes that we see for both our customers as well as the business.
Pros
- So for us, it's really getting insights into the integration of the actual wealth management advisor. What are they doing on a day-to-day basis? Where are there are opportunities for growth where they can have that next best contact for their book of business?
Cons
- I think it's really tying it more cleanly to that customer experience. Right now, a lot of what we have is internally looking at that employee advisor experience, but how do we tie that more effectively to things like net promoter score or looking at outcomes of the results, tying it to other parts of the organization that may not be using Salesforce or that CRM analytics tool so we can make sure we are tying truly what does the customer experience look like? What does the advisor experience look like? What are the systems and tools that are driving those experiences behind it? I think for us it's really that first integration layer between the customer and advisor experience.
Return on Investment
- In the past six months since we've really changed this over to Salesforce, that really understanding where the advisor can reach out next, that's been such a critical component of this transition for us, is looking at not only just looking at a timeline of customers, which historically was like, all right, well let's just reach out to them every 12 months. There wasn't really much thought process behind it. It's being able to integrate things around life stage or integrating different areas of improvement. Do we have a beneficiary inheritance that we came down the line? Do we have a retirement from a particular institution? Are they starting to do retirement minimum distributions, but they didn't let us know that they're doing that? It's integrating a lot more data points to truly drive that next best contact beyond just a time balance scenario.
