An effective Finance Industry CRM benefits your bottom line

Every finance broker needs an effective finance CRM system, serving as a helping hand, to manage customer data and relationships, streamline workflow, and provide better customer experiences. You can’t do it all yourself.

Whether or not you already use a CRM, this piece gives you a clearer picture of how a properly set up finance CRM will save you time, increase customer retention and increase the bottom line.

4 Reasons You Should Be Using a CRM

Maximising a finance CRM has lots of benefits for financial brokers. Let’s take a look at a few reasons you should seriously consider using one. 

1. Better and More Personalised Service

One of the PR challenges financial organisations face is that they come off as robotic. A finance CRM can help you change that by equipping you to provide improved, and better-personalised recommendations to clients.

CRMs house all your clients' data in an orderly manner. With this data at your fingertips, you can tailor your advice and recommendations to the client. Say you intend to sell a retirement account to a particular client, with their data embedded in your CRM, you can find just the right things to say to convince your client to work with you. 

Another way to provide personalised service with a CRM can be to create a “Client for Life” program that sends out automated reminders on clients’ purchase anniversaries. Small acts of personalisation like this, can foster trust and boost customer loyalty.  

2. Enjoy Smoother Workflow

As a financial broker, you’re probably juggling multiple activities in a day. From educating leads about beneficial financial products to prospecting and marketing, following up integral dates relevant to progressing deals, meetings with clients, and so on, you’re pressed for time. 

Instead of manually shuffling between repetitive tasks that make your day cumbersome, leverage your CRM’s automation features to automate some of these processes and save time. For instance, you don’t have to manually send out a thank you note when a customer fills a form — that’s not scalable. 

With your CRM, you can set up automated actions like “Create an automated ‘Thank You email’ when a form is completed" or “Set meeting reminder when a client needs a renewal.”

3. Enhanced & Secure Data Management

If you’re still keeping financial data or personal information about your clients in spreadsheets, or worse, physical documents, you’re doing it wrong. Not only is it difficult to track large volumes of information via these methods, there’s the possibility of human errors, and data breaches — not a good look for your brand. 

A CRM, however, is a more innovative, scalable alternative. Most of the best CRMs on the market, like Pipedrive CRM, are designed with complex safety features for maximum protection. For faster and safer data processing, set up rules to update personal details for multiple groups of contacts at once via your CRM. 

4. Improved Team Collaboration

Communication is the backbone of smooth office operations, so you need a system that enhances clear and transparent team communication. Using a CRM makes it easier to share information and ensures everyone is working with updated information. 

With the right CRM, you can see which team member is communicating with which customer in real time. Say “goodbye” to tedious task assignations; just tag your teammate on a project or send them a private message or meeting reminder, right on the CRM.
