2 WHY CLIMB CRM MOUNTAIN
These applications support the following business processes involved in the customer relationship
lifecycle:
• Marketing. Targeting prospects and acquiring new customers through data mining, campaign
management, and lead distribution. Remember, the emphasis here is on long-term relationship value,
not quick hit.
• Sales. Closing business with effective selling processes using proposal generators, configurators,
knowledge management tools, contact managers, and forecasting aids—all without uttering The
Eight Words That Kill A Sale: “Let me get back to you on that.”
• E-commerce. In the Internet Age, selling processes should transfer seamlessly into purchasing
transactions, done quickly, conveniently, and at the lowest cost. All customers should have one face
with your company, no matter which touch point they choose to use.
• Service. Handling post-sales service and support issues with call center applications or Web-based
customer self-service options. We said “handling,” not “sloughing off to an inadequate FAQ page.”
CRM is a business strategy to create and sustain long-term, profitable customer relationships. Successful
CRM initiatives start with a business philosophy that aligns company activities around customer needs.
Only then can CRMtechnology be used as it should be used—as a critical enabling tool of the processes required to
turn strategy into business results.
“By Dick Lee
Lose the idea that CRM is a walk in the park. You don’t buy CRM from a vendor. Lose the idea
that it’s a glorious undertaking. It’s a slog up a mountain. It’s dirty, hard work and absolutely
necessary, unless you like having a bazooka pointed at your company head by an itchy-
fingered customer. Or put it another way: Life on the other side’s great.“
“WHY WE’RE DOING CRM. HONEST.”
“Automate inefficient and expensive work processes.” Sounds good, no? Get the same work for less cost,
goose the bottom line, cut staff, fatten up the financial stakeholders. No quibble here, unless…
• You reduce human contact with customers to levels they don‟t appreciate. Ask around any San
Jose soup kitchen for a show of hands of e-tailers who sank with this strategy.
• You value efficiency over customer satisfaction. Automating and hurrying up customer service calls
and providing financial incentives for service representatives to maximize call turns is a sure-fire
way to maximize customer turns.
“Use the Internet.” There‟s our answer. Customers are dying to flock to our Website, where we can
shunt off all low-margin customers and low-margin transactions. Great, except…
• Today‟s buyers use the Internet more selectively than today‟s sellers like. While you‟re in that soup
kitchen you‟re meeting guys from dot. Bomb companies whose companies performed spectacular
half-gainers on NASDAQ—”But it was the Internet, man, how could we fail… “
• Low-margin customers are often high-potential customers…and low-margin transactions often
come from high-margin customers. One of our super, super-regional banks just wound up on its
knees looking for a buyer because it didn‟t get this.

“„Fix‟ sales and marketing.” CRM will keep those lazy sales reps away from those 2:30 tee times. Load
GPS in their laptops. Get those marketing prima donnas pounding numbers instead of sipping daiquiris
while “creating” ads. Justice prevails, except…
• Sales is your lifeline to customers. Break it at your peril. Why isn‟t half the corporate staff in heavy
breathing just waiting to get their crack at field sales jobs, where they get big bucks to work on
their handicaps? The word “courage” keeps swirling around in my head.
• Pounding sand may be fun, but it‟s kind of pointless. Yes, marketing deserves a hiding for buying
into the “brand” malarkey ad agencies use to demand higher and higher budgets—I‟ll confess,
I‟m from the agency world myself. But go ahead, try to genetically re-engineer today‟s creative
marketers into tomorrow‟s analysts and process managers. We‟ll make popcorn and enjoy the
show.
