Got a new CRM? Plan to roll out an eCommerce solution? Successfully deploying any robust and expensive solution requires a lot of planning. Integrating a 3rd party eCommerce and CRM platform for online presence and increased sales requires some serious planning, paired with the right team to push the solution towards a successful deployment.  

We’ve all been there before: strategizing on how to win over more opportunities, from a major trucking deal to doubling parts sales. But do you have the tools and team to turn that vision into reality sooner rather than later?

Querying for Growth and Client Engagement

Start by asking the questions that matter: 

Client Engagement: 

• How are you cultivating leads?
  • Cultivating leads can be challenging because the relationship is basically nonexistent at this point. 
• How are you nurturing leads? 
  • This is where you build trust over time by providing value, not pushing a sale. 
• Do you have a newsletter? 
  • A steady stream of monthly content can nurture and captivate that lead. 
• What are the platforms you use to achieve client engagement? 
  • Not all CRMs are created equally.

  • Not all CRMs have a built-in newsletter feature; and solutions like Mailchimp must be pursued. 

Querying for Growth: 

• When you search online (on Google, Bing, etc), do your parts show up? 
• Is that traffic converting into sales? 
• Do you have a chatbot to encourage users to engage more? 
• Are you giving them an option to opt into which increases lead generation and may help sell more products?
