Before starting your CRM activities, ensure:

- 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 π€
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 π§©
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) βοΈ
Before using the CRM, ensure these masters are configured:
- Campaign Platforms: Define where your leads come from (e.g., Google Ads, LinkedIn, Trade Show, Referrals).
- Lead Status Master: Customize the stages of your sales funnel.
- Interaction Type Master: Define the modes of communication (e.g., Phone Call, On-site Visit, WhatsApp).
- Salesmen Group Master: Organize your sales team into regions or product lines.
4. CRM Lead Dashboard π
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 π
- 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 π‘
- 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.
