[Part 4] The Value of CRM is Determined by "Visualization": Why Dashboards and Visualization Features Will Transform Sales
■ "So, what's the situation now?"
A common issue in sales management is,
- ▷The status of the project is unknown.
- ▷ You can't see who is doing what.
- ▷Sales forecast is unpredictable
This is the state.
With Excel or verbal management,
👉 “The information is there, but it's invisible.”
It becomes easier to get into a state.
■ A key role of CRM is "visualization."
CRM is more than just a customer management tool.
True value is,
👉 "The ability to visualize information in real time"
It is in
For example,
- ▷Number of projects this month
- ▷ Business negotiation progress
- ▷Sales forecasts for each sales unit
- ▷ Number of inquiries
- ▷Reason for loss of order
You can check these things immediately.
■ What is a dashboard?
A dashboard is,
👉 “A screen where you can see all the necessary information on one screen”
You read it right!
For example, in the sales department...
- ▷Sales target achievement rate
- ▷Number of business negotiations
- ▷Number of projects by project phase
- ▷Number of activities this month
- ▷Performance by person in charge
You can display things like this.
In other words,
👉 You can instantly see "what's happening right now."
It looks like
■ Differences from Excel management
In Excel management,
- ▷Data aggregation is required
- ▷Graph updates are manual
- ▷Multiple files exist
- ▷The latest information is not reflected.
Problems like these are more likely to occur.
On the other hand, in CRM,
👉 Automatic aggregation simultaneously with data entry
Because
You can always check the latest information.
■ Breaking free from "sensory control"
In sales situations,
- ▷ "It'll probably be okay."
- ▷ "It looks like it's about to be decided."
- ▷ "It feels good intuitively."
This can sometimes result in that kind of management structure.
However, this is
- ▷Sales forecasts are inaccurate
- ▷ Problem detection is delayed
- ▷ Becoming dependent on individuals
This can cause problems.
By utilizing the CRM dashboard,
👉 A state where you can make decisions based on "numbers" rather than "feelings".
Can be made.

■ CRM is not an "input tool"
When you talk about CRM,
"Inputting data is difficult."
This is the image that tends to be held.
But originally,
👉 “An information infrastructure that connects management and the front lines”
.
Dashboards and visualization features allow
This is when the true value of CRM is realized.
