βœ… Prerequisites Checklist

Before starting your CRM activities, ensure:

  • Campaign Platforms: Your lead sources are defined.
  • Interaction Types: Call, Email, Meeting, etc., are configured.
  • Sales Team: Salesmen are registered and assigned to regions.
  • Lead Statuses: Stages (Interested, Negotiation, etc.) are customized for your funnel.

1. Overview 🀝

The Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module is designed to streamline your sales pipeline. It helps sales teams track potential customers (Leads), manage follow-up interactions, and analyze conversion performance through interactive dashboards and Marketing Activity Report.


2. Core Components 🧩

A. Lead Management (CrmLead)

This is the heart of the CRM. A lead represents a potential business opportunity.

  • Lead Capture: Manual entry or bulk upload of prospects.
  • Status Tracking: Monitor leads through different stages (e.g., Interested, Trial, Negotiation, Converted, Dropped).
  • Assignment: Assign leads to specific Salesmen for personalized follow-up.

B. Marketing Activities (MarketingActivity)

Track high-level marketing efforts like exhibitions, webinars, or email campaigns.

  • Link multiple leads to a single marketing activity to measure ROI.
  • Track the cost and effectiveness of different marketing platforms.

C. Interaction Tracking (InteractionType)

Every touchpoint with a customer (Call, Email, Meeting) is logged to ensure no lead goes “cold.”

  • Next Action Date: Set reminders for the next follow-up.
  • Notes: Record detailed feedback from the customer during each interaction.

3. CRM Masters (Data Setup) βš™οΈ

Before using the CRM, ensure these masters are configured:

  1. Campaign Platforms: Define where your leads come from (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn, Trade Show, Referrals).
  2. Lead Status Master: Customize the stages of your sales funnel.
  3. Interaction Type Master: Define the modes of communication (e.g., Phone Call, On-site Visit, WhatsApp).
  4. Salesmen Group Master: Organize your sales team into regions or product lines.

4. CRM Lead Dashboard πŸ“Š

The dashboard provides a real-time health check of your sales funnel.

  • KPI Top Bar: Instantly see Total Leads, Engaged Leads, Converted Leads, and Pending Activities.
  • Status Distribution: A donut chart showing the percentage of leads in each stage.
  • Source Contribution: A bar chart identifying which platforms (e.g., “Google” vs “Exhibition”) are generating the most leads.
  • Date & Salesmen Filters: Analyze performance for specific periods or individual sales team members.

5. CRM Reports πŸ“‹

  • Lead Analysis Report: A detailed list of leads with their current status, last interaction, and probability of conversion.
  • Activity Report: Summarizes all follow-ups done within a date range.
  • Conversion Report: Tracks the “Lead-to-Order” ratio to measure sales efficiency.

6. Best Practices πŸ’‘

  • Zero-Dependency Interaction: Always set a “Next Action Date” after every call. This ensures the lead appears in the “Pending Activities” list on the dashboard.
  • Source Accuracy: Accurately tag the “Campaign Platform” to help management decide where to spend the next marketing budget.
  • Lead Re-activation: Use the Lead Status filter to identify “Dropped” leads from 6 months ago for a re-engagement campaign.
