Agile CRM At A Glance
Product Overview
Agile CRM is an all-in-one customer relationship management (CRM) software that helps Sales, Marketing and Customer Service teams automate their processes. It’s deployed in the cloud with a short implementation timeline, so businesses can start using it quickly. There’s also a mobile app where teams can access features on the go.
There are numerous benefits to Agile CRM, such as:
- Robust features
- Free plan for businesses with up to 10 users
- Integration with social media, telephony, email and other third-party systems
Features
Agile CRM has many features, but we focus on its key ones below.
Contact management – Sales reps can get a 360-degree view of each contact, and the timeline feature displays the contact activity history, including email exchanges, social updates and more. Reps can filter and segment contacts based on different criteria. They can also add, update or email multiple contacts in bulk.
Calendar – Agile CRM integrates with Google and Outlook calendars, so reps can track their meetings and other events. There’s an appointment scheduling feature that automatically sends meeting invites and adds new contacts to the CRM if a prospect books a meeting on the rep’s calendar.
Pipeline management – Sales reps can track the deal’s milestones as well as track multiple pipelines. They can also create sales workflows and set up trigger alerts. Sales managers can create sales forecasts and get insights into their team’s performance with reporting and analytics features.
Other sales features – The software integrates with VoIP software, so reps can make and receive calls from Agile CRM. Additional calling features include call recording, voicemail drop, scripts and personalized greetings. The auto dialer automatically makes calls to multiple contacts.
Reps can track their tasks with project management features, and they can also engage in friendly competition with gamification tools. Finally, there’s a new lead prospector feature that finds and tags leads from LinkedIn and other social media networks.
Marketing automation – Marketers can build multi-step campaigns with the drag-and-drop designer, including follow-up actions based on triggers. They can also implement real-time notifications for specific actions the recipient takes (e.g., clicking on a call-to-action). Marketers can personalize newsletters and landing pages using built-in templates, create social media or mobile campaigns, and add web forms and surveys to their brand’s site for capturing leads. The lead scoring feature assigns a score based on actions (e.g., downloading content), and high-quality leads are passed to the sales team. With the reporting and analytics tools, marketers can track the email performance and other campaign metrics.
Customer service – There’s a help desk system for managing tickets and requests, and those tickets can be grouped and routed to specific reps based on severity. The reps can set up a self-service portal with a frequently-asked questions bank and also manage service-level agreements with alerts if response time goes past the resolution deadline. Finally, they can see ticket priority and other important data at-a-glance with the Smart Views feature.
