Customer relationships is an issue of number one importance in modern business. Managing relationships with clients refers to a number of techniques – like practice, strategy and technologies. Customer Relationships used in business for managing and recording all acts of interaction between company and customer. CRM provides deep and rich relationships with customers.
There is a notion of customer lifecycle in business – a combination of interactions and data. It allows growing business through improving relationships with clients and growing sales.
CRM is a system that was created for business – to pile up information about customers, to use different channels for contacting people, to store information about companies – contacts, chat, materials for marketing campaigns and social media. Besides personal info about the client, CRM system stores details about history of purchasing, preferences in buying and complaints.
For better management, CRM software was created. It is like a single…

Last week SugarCRM was the lead sponsor of the Conference Board’s 11th Annual Customer Experience Conference held in downtown NYC. The conference brought together hundreds of cross-functional executives and thinkers responsible for the customer experience at organizations of all shapes and sizes.
In addition to some great keynotes from former Sprint CEO Dan Hesse and Overstock.com president Stormy Simon, SugarCRM CEO Larry Augustin explained to the captive crowd the importance of using a modern CRM as the tool to unify the customer experience across both digital and human touch points.
Overall, the importance of focusing on the “human element,” especially when thinking about optimizing customer experience was a theme that ran throughout the event. During a panel I moderated with executives from Citi, Constant Contact and Sparks Grove – the overarching message was to think of the people at the heart of the equations: the individual customers and the…

SugarCRM and its global partners gathered in Munich for the first annual Global Partner Summit. The successful two-day summit gave SugarCRM systems integrators, value-added resellers, and key technology partners a chance to share success stories, learn about the latest Sugar-powered technology and compare notes on how to help companies create extraordinary customer relationships.
Over the course of the two-day event, a few themes emerged. One, as evidenced by CEO Larry Augustin, is that CRM is still a “large, under-penetrated market.” While CRM is a mature technology, there are a number of factors that continue to drive opportunity and innovation in this sector. And CRM has never been hotter in the social era! The ever-expanding mid-market segment and their increased understanding of the need for CRM is also helping to fuel the market. Additionally, the replacement market for older products is opening up large opportunity for SugarCRM and its partners as…

Greetings to everybody and good to know you have found us yet again. Let me actually tell you something. CRM can sometimes be a very vital tool and sometimes just a piece of software for the salespeople to track their leads and log their calls and just show how productive they are on a computer screen. It all depends on how much part of the business automation has to be captured in CRM. It is capable of capturing all the three major parts ” Pre Sales”, “Sales” and “Post Sales”.
Though these terms are quite obvious to understand but for a fresher in the Software Industry these terms can be quite confusing. So the Pre Sales is the part of a business process where you lay foundation for the Sales. So it is actually “Marketing and Identifying your prospective customer” for the service/goods you are providing . (Note: It’s not just Marketing. Marketing is when you let people know what you sell. But some may be interested and some not. So it’s critical that you identify how many of the people you have interacted with are actually interested.)
Now Step 2 Sales is about “Converting the prospective customer to a client”. That is what any core sales person would do. And Step 3 is hidden in the word client. A customer is somebody to whom you sell the services or goods just once but a client is somebody who keeps coming back to you. For that you need to provide him the “After sales services”. A good/service is of no use if people are unable to use it. After sales services are for people to reach out to you if they have any issues.
Quite frankly from our own experience the third stage is the most pain full thing. You can say it’s like keeping your wife happy even after 3 years of demanding relationship. I mean if you want an analogy. Marketing is like going out there with banner saying I am single and ready to mingle. The whole period when you negotiate with a prospective customer is like romancing. All you want is the deal closed. And the day sales happen you enter in an never ending engagement called wedding. And wife can be demanding, annoying or not at all worth but you have to provide the services. So caution, choose your wives(customers) mindfully.
Anyways coming back to the point. The success of a CRM implementation depends a lot on the end users. I mean if you provide a great deal of features but end users don’t use it. It’s all wasted. But we need to understand that why any end user won’t use something. Now comes the UI. Has anybody ever wondered why most of the PC’s use Windows? Because it’s simple to install and boot. You get next, previous and cancel buttons to do the whole process(Though we are Ubuntu Linux fans). Your UI is responsible for a lot of navigation on your web application.
We believe that great UI is not the one that flashes out with vibrant colors and just does a trick of appearing and disappearing. It should be simple. Simple enough that you should not need a guide or a manual to understand how it operates. It should be just obvious. SugarCRM is our favorite because it follows that policy. The moment you enter the system you know you can edit a thing, save it and view it. Simple! But who wants simplicity? Simplicity is actually a user perspective. And user perspective can differ from situation to situation.
In the following use case scenario. We have customized a SugarCRM instance to reflect the needs of a Property Management Company. In this case the users wanted to have an image of their property on the dashlet itself. Sometimes just an image can tell you more rather than going and reading the address of the property. The unique feature that we have added is the image field to the SugarCRM Community Edition. Now for those who are not familiar with Sugar Editions. The image field comes default with professional edition and above others. But if you are a Property Management company want a little image field in your dashlet view, list and edit and detail view. Why go for a higher version just because you are devoid of field here. We are providing a link here (along with a screen shot of the list view of the main module called Properties) for the people to go and browse through the instance. It has no real time data, just some data to show how things appear on screen. This link will be active for around a week from now on and if you want more demos with us. Please feel free to contact us through comments.

( Note:We don’t discourage SugarProfessional Edition in any ways. If you can afford it and you have that understanding of how to work with the workflow manager to create your own workflows etc. Then Professional should be the choice. But if you are an SME and want everything on your own servers in your own database then definitely SugarCRM community edition is your choice. Even Sugar Professional can be installed and hosted locally but if you go for the cloud services of SugarCRM then you don’t have a choice, you have to go with the Professional Edition only. They don’t host Community Edition on there cloud servers. )
Looking forward for your reviews. And let us know if you like this. There are many things possible out of this. This is very basic property management system.
