Personalized Texts, Emails, Custom Custom Coupons, and Increased Conversion Rate.
It’s not magic — it’s smart CRM strategy.
Let’s break down what CRM is, why it matters, and how it can level up your entire customer journey — no matter the size of your business.
What is a CRM?
A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system is a platform that manages all your company’s interactions with current and potential customers. Additionally, it stores this information to be used to retarget past customers, and garner learnings to inform future campaigns.
Main Goal:
Improve business relationships to grow your business faster, and automate tasks to help your business scale.
Uses
- CRM’s keep all your customer data in one place, and updates it automatically instead of you maintaining a spreadsheet
- Quickly gain insights into what’s working by filtering by campaigns, locations, products, and more to inform business strategy
- Optimize Facebook and Google campaigns by providing feedback back to the ad platforms
Popular CRMs:
- HubSpot-recommended
- GoHighLevel – only recommended for developers or those with dev teams
- Salesforce – highly recommended, but most expensive
- Zoho CRM – decent contender depending on use-case but not as good as those above
- Pipedrive – cheaper option
Most will give you a trial to see which works best for you. If none of these catch your fancy, give Monday a shot.
5 Ways a CRM Improves Your Customer Journey
1. Automate Your Lead or Sales Funnel
Setup automations to send text and emails to customers based on their customer journey, and automatically push users through your funnel based on actions they take such as Booking an Appointment after filling out a lead form.
2. Better Follow-Up
Stay top of mind with warm leads until they’re ready to buy through email and sms automations.
3. Personalized Offers
Send VIP deals, birthday discounts, or loyalty rewards.
4. Scale Your Business
Automating more tasks means you can focus on building your business.
5. Smarter Ad Targeting
Use CRM insights to create high-converting Facebook and Google ads.
Why is a CRM Important for the Customer Journey?
Here’s what happens when you use a CRM right:
- Centralized Data: No more spreadsheets or lost notes.
- Personalized Communication: Tailor every email, call, or offer.
- Automation: Follow up without lifting a finger.
- Smarter Reporting: Understand your customer journey at every stage.
A strong CRM turns a cold lead into a loyal customer — and a loyal customer into a brand ambassador.
