1. Classification and organization Gathering and finding an appropriate way of using your customer data can be challenging, but Kapture’s customer profiling tool lets you collect, classify, and organize all prospect interactions on one platform, enabling you to understand your customers better. With the use of the right customer relationship management tools, you can label and classify your entire customer base, sort through your customer base, find loyal customers, and even grade customers based on their loyalty or other parameters. With CRM, you can easily differentiate active customers from prospective customers and apply strategies to different customer segments. Customers can also be segregated based on their operating locations, and you can use the information to create identifiable customer zones, which will provide you with a direct means of managing your customer base.
2. Loyalty rewards Customer profiling software can help you to reward your customers for their loyalty, create tailored pricing plans for your loyal customers and increase the likelihood of developing a lifetime customer because of the improved customer service and customer experience provided. Special VIP tags can also be assigned to customers based on customer loyalty. Without customer profiling, sorting through customer data would become a tedious process subject to manual errors.
3. Targeted marketing A profile-management tool allows you to keep all customer information, including a history of their purchases, check the number of purchases made, frequently bought products and services, and the amount spent on items. Customer profile analysis can help to develop targeted marketing campaigns for different customer segments to increase ROI from marketing efforts. Active and prospective customer statuses can be used to develop separate workflows and email sequences to target different customer segments in the most optimal way.
4. Upselling/cross-selling Upselling or cross-selling products are common for businesses today, but this requires that businesses discover ways of engaging with their target customers beyond initial product offers. Customer profiling is crucial for businesses to understand the requirements of their audience and offer impactful upsell/cross-sell opportunities.
5. Lead profiling Lead profiling allows for leads to be segregated into categories based on different sources like the source of acquisition, conversions, or revenue expected, which could be used to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and help to expand the customer base.
6. Existing customer profiling With a CRM-based customer profiling system, businesses can gauge customer data within a single platform, aggregate data, determine the most profitable customer segment, and analyze customer retention.
7. Record of interactions The cloud profiling tool can help to record, store and access previous interactions between your business and customers, giving you access to information regarding order history, the number of quotations and invoices, payments received, complaints received, meeting and email history, all of which helps to make better business decisions.
8. Personalized wishes Birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions can be made extra special for your customers with the help of customer profiling CRM. Tailor-made wishes will help to improve the customer experience while interacting with your business, and, thereby, raise overall customer satisfaction with your business.
9. Meetings You can plan for and arrange meetings with present customers based on previous meetings where you will be able to decide the optimal number of meetings that can result in the procurement of new orders or retaining existing customer accounts. Timely reminders can also be set for scheduling of tasks and carrying out customer follow-ups. Resource:- How Creating Customer Profiles Enhances Management
