Regularly acquiring more and more customers is essential for businesses to continue growing as it allows them to keep up with their financial requirements to strive and progress ahead to excellence. In the wake of the digitalized era we currently live in, marketing has moved on to social media which has had a greater impact on businesses while also being cost efficient. Today digital marketing alongside promotion programs conducted by businesses is the largest factor in bringing in new customers.
Furthermore, with tools such as email/sms marketing and social media marketing, businesses can now reach a larger audience. In addition, there has also been a subsequent increase in another form of business operations, eCommerce. Companies were able to easily promote and sell their products and services with minimum investment. However, as with all business operations, if a business is not able to manage a large increase in customer base an increase in sales and profits will only be temporary.
Therefore, a customer relationship management tool is vital and choosing the right solution is of great importance for steady prolonged growth. Odoo, one of the of the more prominent business management solutions has a dedicated CRM module that acts as the complete CRM solution that is required for any business. Moreover, the dedicated infrastructure of Odoo paves the way for effective and efficient customer relationship management.
