Starting and setting up the business is just the beginning; you need to adopt a digital mindset that enables you to grow and keep up with technology simultaneously.

Technological tools to improve the way your digital business works

CRM not to neglect customers

One of the most valuable technologies Spanish businesses use is CRM or customer relationship management.

Although CRM has been around for a while and is not exactly an emerging technology, the adoption of CRM software and best practices in businesses has been slow as acceptance hasn’t been quick.

CRMs have evolved into a crucial component of business operations with the rise of digitization,

What exactly is CRM?

In layman’s terms, CRM is responsible for storing all relevant information gained from every customer interaction. Examples of this information can range from basic personal information such as age, gender, and race or more complex, such as the number of purchases they have made from you and the average order value.

CRMs should be seen as more than simple schedules or spreadsheets with data. They are tools that can process and analyze this data to help us, for example, with our business's marketing strategies.

In addition, they can help us to improve the customer experience when contacting us. CRM enables us to access all relevant information instantly and comes in handy for responding to customer issues or questions. 

Given the number of different CRMs available on the market, there is likely one that suits your needs regardless of your business type.

Digital businesses managed by established companies or freelancers operate significantly differently. For freelancers, having a CRM is not only advised but practically required as it involves the ability to manage their clients better on top of their standard functions.

A CRM is one of those technologies that will significantly alter how your organization operates for the better in a short time.
