ISM Consulting Services
CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, is a business approach aimed at using customer information to improve customer satisfaction and engagement with an organization’s brand, products, and support.
ISM has 27 years of experience integrating people, process and technology to increase customer knowledge and improve the customer experience. At the heart of the customer relationship are your CRM processes and systems. Our well-respected CRM Assessment, CRM Executive Briefing, and CRM Strategy & Implementation Roadmap services have helped hundreds of global, best-in-class companies to ensure highly successful CRM initiatives.
For companies fine-tuning their CRM programs, ISM offers stand-alone services that range from enhancing your CRM Strategy & Implementation to improving your Business Intelligence Strategy & Implementation to optimizing your Call/Contact Center Strategy & Implementation to advancing your Engagement Management/Implementation Services.
Six years ago, ISM began to take our vast CRM knowledge and apply it to the world of social media – a critical new set of processes and tools that both deepen existing customer relationships and increase customer outreach. The ever-changing demands of customers and the increasing speed of conducting business are driving organizations to improve their ability to anticipate and respond to customer needs. And with employees also being social media users and often an interface for customers, organizations must address an overall social media policy.
ISM has helped design and implement social media communities for several of our best-in-class clients. For organizations seeking to leverage Social Media, ISM offers services beginning with a Social Media Executive Briefing – to get your management team on the same page – and proceeding to ISM’s respected Social Media Assessment, our Social Media Policy Formulation, and finally our Social Media Community Design, Implementation and Community Success services.
Sitting in between CRM and Social Media is “Social CRM” – the business strategy of engaging customers through Social Media with the goal of building trust and increasing brand loyalty, then integrating that information into your CRM system to personalize customer interactions. Our Social CRM services include formulating Social CRM Strategy, selecting leading-edge software such as digital marketing and lead generation tools, and tightly integrating Social CRM with your Social Media and CRM efforts. Our comprehensive approach ensures that your Social CRM initiative supports your business strategies and goals, is integrated with other marketing programs, represents your organization's culture and values, leverages and enhances your strengths, and is carefully monitored and measured. ISM’s experts help guide your initiative at each step of the way.
