The objective is no longer to maximise sales at a given moment, but to create a lasting customer relationship synonymous with repeated purchases over time. It is time to project, to focus on lifetime value and to generalise subscription-based business models. The SaaS software industry, based on the subscription model, will be worth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/louiscolumbus\/2017\/04\/29\/roundup-of-cloud-computing-forecasts-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$162 billion<\/a> in the next two years.

Revenue generation is no longer just a matter for sales people. All departments are now concerned by this concern, by this objective: from marketers to product teams. All of the company&#8217;s businesses, through their activity, have an impact on the bottom line:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listFont iconChevron listLeft\">\n<li>The marketing team in producing educational content to address customer issues and accelerate progress through the conversion funnel.<\/li>\n<li>The Customer Success Team, whose entire activity is aimed at limiting customer churn as much as possible and maximising revenue through cross-selling and upselling.<\/li>\n<li>Product teams seeking to design products with a unique user experience that generates word of mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Everyone in the company is involved in customer relations. Sales strategies are no longer driven solely by the objective of customer acquisition. The real driver of growth is now retention. We have stopped thinking that more customers = more revenue. Revenue growth comes from existing customers rather than from new ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blocIntro\">Discover <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/lead-generation\/lead-generation-strategies\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">20 high potential lead generation techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-from-crm-as-a-sales-cash-register-to-crm-as-a-holistic-customer-relationship-management-tool\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-from-crm-as-a-sales-cash-register-to-crm-as-a-holistic-customer-relationship-management-tool\"><\/span>#2 From CRM as a sales cash register to CRM as a holistic customer relationship management tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As retention has become an important issue, sales processes are becoming more complex. Collecting leads, moving them through the pipeline, waiting for them to convert: this linear process has become too simplistic. The sales processes of the future will be cyclical. They will require repeated, rich, dense interactions with customers. They will take place over months, over years after the first sale. The performance of sales strategies will be measured less by the data generated (lead scores, conversion rates, volume of deals) than by the quality of the experience generated. This will require salespeople to have a broader skill set and a deeper understanding of customers. Being good on the phone and good at selling will no longer be enough.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-the-b2b-crm-will-become-the-tool-of-all-employees-in-contact-directly-or-indirectly-with-customers\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-the-b2b-crm-will-become-the-tool-of-all-employees-in-contact-directly-or-indirectly-with-customers\"><\/span>#3 The B2B CRM will become the tool of all employees in contact (directly or indirectly) with customers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Everyone in the company is potentially in contact with customers, directly or indirectly. But, historically, <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/crm\/crm-software\/\">CRM software<\/a> has been designed and thought of as a tool for the sales force. In the years to come, we will see a de-piloting of CRM systems. CRM systems will become <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/crm\/crm-software\/\">customer relationship management software<\/a> in all its dimensions, in all its phases. CRM will make it possible to circulate all customer information to all employees in the company.

Content for data. There is a nonsense in this way of doing things: you ask your prospects to give you information (often a lot of information), you bombard them with questions before even offering them anything, before even answering <em>their<\/em> questions. In the years to come, strategies will change. Companies will seek to give more information before asking for it, via chatbots for example. Cold, inert and aggressive forms will be replaced by conversations. It will be the customers who decide whether or not to enter the conversion funnel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/lead-forms-to-conversations.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"blocIntro\">Discover our <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/cold-calling\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">20 tips for getting really good at cold calling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-the-b2b-cms-will-allow-to-centralize-the-data-generated-by-the-content-marketing\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-the-b2b-cms-will-allow-to-centralize-the-data-generated-by-the-content-marketing\"><\/span>#5 The B2B CMS will allow to centralize the data generated by the content marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a world where information is just a click away, online resources (blog articles, case studies, etc.) play a fundamental role in the purchasing decision. Producing this type of content allows you to learn much more about your prospects, to identify their problems and needs. For example :<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listFont iconChevron listLeft\">\n<li>If a prospect reads and re-reads a blog post about customer acquisition costs, chances are they are spending too much money on new customer acquisition.<\/li>\n<li>If another prospect downloads a case study comparing your product to those of your closest competitors, they would probably benefit from a phone call from you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The problem is that the data generated from online resources is often scattered across dozens of applications and channels: blog post analytics are accessible in <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/inbound-marketing\/google-business\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"89\" title=\"Google My Biz\">Google<\/a> analytics while case studies are stored in Google Drive&#8230;Even your communication with prospects is fragmented: social networks, livechat, email&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-670\" style=\"width: 1436px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/crm-B2B-analytics.png\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Implementing true marketing content management can transform a fragmented customer experience into a coherent customer journey, allowing the company to take the right actions at the right time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The more content you create, the more difficult it is to analyse and understand people&#8217;s actual behaviour. To avoid this situation, it is important to put in place real content management. This means :<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listFont iconChevron listLeft\">\n<li>Create a &#8220;commercial CMS&#8221;: organise the production of content using commercial criteria: stage in the conversion tunnel, customer segment, product line, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Track how prospects engage with content: see which emails are read, which links are clicked&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Identify the best performing resources, those that generate maximum commitment at the beginning of the business relationship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than sending out traditional email sequences, in the future sales people will make more use of existing customer data to create more personalised emails, share articles and case studies identified as performing well in the lead generation phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blocIntro\">Find out which <a href=\"https:\/\/salesdorado.com\/en\/lead-generation\/lead-generation-strategies\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">B2B lead generation strategies work best<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-less-information-gathering-during-canvassing-calls-less-manual-data-entry\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-less-information-gathering-during-canvassing-calls-less-manual-data-entry\"><\/span>#6 Less information gathering during canvassing calls, less manual data entry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Prospecting and qualification phone calls are a source of frustration for both prospects and salespeople. Salespeople need to fill in the lines of their spreadsheets with information such as company size, length of service, position, company budget, etc. Prospects, on the other hand, want information about the product and often feel harassed by the sometimes insistent questions of their contact. Wishes differ. In general, no one leaves a prospecting call satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Advances in technology have made it possible to remedy this situation and set up a smoother, more flexible lead qualification process. Most of the information that salespeople need to qualify leads is available on the Internet (Google, LinkedIn, etc.), whether it is the size of the company, the position of the company representative you are contacting, etc. Web-based tools, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/clearbit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clearbit<\/a>, can automatically retrieve all this information. There are even tools that allow this information to be integrated directly into the CRM contact sheets. These new tools make it possible to reduce the time spent on data entry and to limit the number of questions to ask prospects during calls.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-the-arrival-of-video-messages-in-prospecting-emails\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-the-arrival-of-video-messages-in-prospecting-emails\"><\/span>#7 The arrival of video messages in prospecting emails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It has become harder than ever to successfully engage prospects. With over-subscribed mailboxes, prospects (almost) no longer read prospecting emails. Hot emails (sent following a specific interaction: a registration, a purchase, a request for information&#8230;) are read more. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/resources\/research\/email-marketing-benchmarks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click rate is between 2 and 3%<\/a>. Sending shorter, more personalised emails can improve the performance of emailing. But to get really significant results, more important changes are required.<\/p>\n<p>One of the big trends these days is video messages. With tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wistia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wistia<\/a>, it has become very simple and fast to record short video messages and integrate them into emails with one click.

We are seeing big changes in the technological landscape: a process of unification. We are seeing more and more tools integrating CRM features, for example. Some companies, for example, are choosing to use the Google suite to manage CRM (via Gmail, Google Drive, Chrome, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>All these trends have one thing in common, they all have the same objective: to strengthen B2B customer relations. This is a fundamental trend.

A customer relationship that lasts.
