by Jenny Lewis Grow your Business

Before we begin discussing consumer behavior, let us first understand what CRM tools are and how they benefit a business. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) refers to a tool or software that immensely helps a business in recording and managing customer interactions with different departments of a business. The departments can be either a sales or marketing team, the human resources department, the customer support team, etc. All these business divisions form an integral part of any business and can drastically improve their key function areas using a CRM system. The CRM systems can be customized and designed according to the needs of a particular business division such that customer interactions with them can be managed with ease. 


Consumer Behavior refers to the study of individuals, groups, and organizations present in a market and how they like, select, purchase and use goods or services available in the same market. Consumers behavior also strives to study how different consumers interact and influence each other. Consumer behavior has emerged as a hot topic among companies who wish to understand the purchase behavior of their target audience. Every modern business strives to create marketing as well as operations strategies keeping consumer behavior in mind. Successful Marketers market a product keeping in mind the emotions and aspirations of the consumers. Similarly, entrepreneurs are always keen to develop products and services based on what the customers are willing to buy in the market. 


The Need of the Hour: Outsource CRM Development Services

Not every company is blessed with adequate time, skill and other resources to develop a CRM tool on their own. Especially for a business that has just started its operations, spending too much crucial time on this can shift their focus from key business functions. In such scenarios companies look towards outsourcing and seek help from an outsourced CRM development company. This helps them in availing cost-effective and highly customized CRM solutions. 


Now we shall discuss some key terms and features of CRM that help a business better understand Consumer Behavior. 


Customer Needs - Simply assuming what a customer wants or likes, can have a disastrous effect on any business. Therefore it is extremely important to record customer interactions and gain a better insight into their needs and preferences. CRM tools help a company in understanding and predicting customer likes and dislike based on their purchase history. 


Customer Loyalty -  Customer loyalty can be defined as the tendency of a customer to remain in business with a particular brand or company and buy their products or services on a regular basis. Loyal customers are the real assets for any business and help to spread the awareness of a brand through ‘word of mouth’ marketing. 


Customer Retention - Customer retention refers to a popular business strategy of keeping or retaining existing customers and preventing them from diverging to other rival companies. CRM systems enable a business to improve customer retention rates through improved customer support and services. Consumers tend to stay with a business if their needs are fulfilled properly and when they receive timely after-sales service. 


Customer Complaints -  Customer complaints should be handled with proper care and patience. They reflect a customer’s pain points in relation to certain products. CRM tools successfully record and manage such user complaints and give a business an immense opportunity to improve problem areas with a product. Certain complaints may arise due to misunderstanding in using a product and handling such complaints to the ultimate satisfaction of the consumer is crucial for any organization. 


Customer Satisfaction - Customer satisfaction refers to the degree of how the needs and responses are managed and delivered to improve customer expectations.

Customer satisfaction is a subjective term and cannot be generalized to a great extent. The criteria of satisfaction may differ from customer to customer. A CRM tool enables a business to monitor customer satisfaction through satisfaction surveys and customer feedback.
