Increase CLTV with The CRM Growth Engine
While customer acquisition is an essential component of a successful growth strategy, nurturing transactional customers during the after-sales process will improve customer loyalty and maintain the circulation of a secure cashflow. The Growth Engine has been built with the evaluation of new business and customer retention strategies at its core, ensuring you don’t fall short in either area.
The Growth Strategies Explained
Attract
The Attract growth strategy refers to ensuring that your lead generation process is refined and specific to your ideal customer profile (ICP) to increase conversion rates with a targeted marketing drive.
Sell
By measuring the success of each stage in your sales cycle, the Sell growth strategy helps you convert quality leads into prospects, and quickly nurture prospects into repeat customers.
Close
Increase your win rates with the Close growth strategy which helps you optimise your customer experience and obtain high-quality enquiries using proven methods.
Onboard
The Onboard growth strategy lets you convert one-off customers into loyal promoters of your business through active engagement and by delivering a personalised experience.
Order Value
Failing to increase the order value of your existing customer base might be where your business is suffering, so the Order Value growth strategy helps you improve this key metric so you don’t miss out on potential revenue.
Order Frequency
The Order Frequency growth strategy focuses on predicting missed orders based on historical buying patterns, allowing you to proactively engage with customers that are slipping through the net.
Retention
Increasing the retention rate of your customer base by just 5% can boost profits by 25-95%, which is why the Retention growth strategy emphasises the importance of strong customer relationships.
