Boost Productivity with Actionable CRM Data Enrichment
Data enrichment and digital technology has changed the way we do business, forever. Organizations must become even more productive in a connected, digital world to achieve their targets. Modern CRM tools, applications, and infrastructure are getting very powerful and much easier to work with.
To take advantage of these new capabilities, any forward-looking organization must acknowledge that data is at the core of every marketing, sales, or customer service strategy. Data-driven decisions are based on facts and trends rather than speculation and gut instincts and are more likely to increase your organization’s productivity.
A primary challenge for many companies is having an incomplete view of customer data. Data fuels actionable insights that sales, marketing, and service teams need to act decisively at every critical touchpoint throughout the customer journey.
What Is Data Enrichment?
Raw customer data you directly collect from different sources such as site traffic, social media, or email lists is largely useless unless you clean and structure it. After the initial collection, intelligent software can then go in and complete the process by enriching it with external data to add additional helpful information. Therefore, data enrichment means combining first-party data from your internal integrated systems with data you collect from external sources and making it more useful by adding value. Companies that conduct data enrichment make more informed business decisions than those that don’t.
Here are a few strategies to make data enrichment beneficial to your organization:
Personalize communication with customers. Enriched data increases the likelihood of creating meaningful customer relationships. Using relevant data and customers’ preferred channels, you can develop better communication strategies. They are more inclined to purchase when they feel you understand their needs and expectations.
Boost successful targeted marketing. A one-size-fits-all approach is no longer an option if you want to stay relevant to your prospects. Use data enrichment to target your audience by offering value-driven information to each segment. This helps maximize the impact of your nurturing campaigns.
Eliminate redundant data. Stop storing data that is not useful for your company. Data enrichment ensures you keep an accurate contact list and increases data quality by removing duplicates. Redundant data may result in customer and revenue loss and can damage your reputation.
Improve brand loyalty. Customers expect the best when interacting with your brand. They want your company to know them and anticipate their needs. Data enrichment enables you to provide unique information and create great customer experiences. When a business has the right data and knows its customers well, it’s easy for the sales teams to generate cross-sell and upsell opportunities.
