“I have known and worked with Robert both as a colleague and friend for over 12 months now, and just engaged him to assist with back end data management and integration for my business. Rob took the time to walk me through Capsule CRM, and where it will be most valuable to me looking at projects, projections for revenue and sales, as well as tracking of leads, contacts and networks I operate in. If you are still working out of spreadsheets for this stuff, you need to talk with Rob about all the online and cloud based interactions he has available including Xero integrations.”

Challenges
Aaron from BICS was using a CRM his licence group provided him that was incompatible to his daily needs in relation to prospecting and making industry connections. Due to the inadequate CRM provided to him, he was left using spreadsheets to fill the void.
The CRM he was using didn’t allow him to put in any kind of projection of his earnings, nor allow him to track conversion rates. It was hard to do simple things such as tasking himself to follow up leads, or make phone calls. The supplied CRM had no social media integrations to allow him to find out more information about prospects to help convert his leads.

Goals

  • Find a CRM that was compatible to Aaron's needs as a business insurance broker


Solution

After careful consideration of Aaron’s needs we provided CapsuleCRM as a solution. We set up and configured the system, and provided an initial training session on how to use the system and get the most out of it. Subsequent to the training we provided follow up support to answer any technical questions as Aaron began using the CRM in his business.  

Results
Aaron now uses Capsule to set up a lead, and record notes against the lead from any meeting or phone call. He uses it to task himself about things to follow up on. Uses it to track the dollar amount of leads per month, and the conversion rate, which allows him to better manage the cash flow of his business. Every email he sends to any contact is now saved into Capsule, allowing the ability to build a large database to market to and ensure his interactions with clients and prospects are timely.

There’s a better way to do business.
