CRM Importance and Direct Application on Business Cases


Manojna Super Foods Ltd (MSFL) is in the business of making quality food products for children. The company uses the Ancient Indian Recipes for hygienic and health foods for young children and adults. Your reporting manager, the Marketing Head, Ms. Bharati, asks you, the Digital Marketing Expert, to help her Field Sales team (FST) in getting the data systemized and correct.

Class notes and Students Responses

  1. They should set their logistics in a right way and limit their orders accordingly to their production

  2. "First come first serve is the right attitude, when the company is handling more volume than they can service. The company should make use of the social media channels to effectively communicate the delays, if any so that customers are kept posted WRT what's going on with their order.

  3. Since the company is in the business of food products, time is crucial. advise the company to not take more orders, if they are able to service it in time.

  4. Social/ Digital media can only be used as a channel for communication between the company and its customers. It the manufacturing unit which needs to be scaled up to efficiently work to tackle huge volumes.

  5. As the Digital Marketing SME, I would try and communicate with all the stakeholders to minimize MIS understanding and delay in transmission of news about the ongoing processes."

  6. I would keep a track of customers, I would collect all the data and save it in the excel and I would keep a track of loyal customers who are regularly ordering. FIFO service is good but there are high chances we would miss out on potential customers. So we need to have coupon or give order number and serve them. We can hire a person who is checks the feedback regularly and write back to them.

  7. Allocation is something that impacts customer awareness and purchase behavior. Know in which social media platform your target audience is active. Know their demographic information. Re-target the site visitors. Bring communication strategy, activate the audience across the channel. Prioritize data protection and security. Make sure that the customer data is safe and not being misused. Limit your data to only the necessary information your company needs to meet its goals thereby you can focus on the quality of data. Losing access to all of your customer data is a great loss to the company so, create a data recovery strategy.

  8. Increase the quantity of sales, Discount should depend upon no. of cx ordering first like lightning deal and make sure all the cx's who have ordered receives the product.

  9. The MSFL company must take stringent action against bias field sales person and set a precedence that any employee who works against the company policy in order to make profit will face the similar action. In order to do that as digital marketing expert we would categorize the field person's data on the no of order the field salesman has handled and size of order he has taken. From this we would get to know the possible salesman who is indulged in this bias.

  10. First I would ask the sales team to treat all customers equally. There wont be any targets for the sales team. Their main target should be to get maximum customer satisfaction and loyalty. Also I would appoint a person to keep an eye on the sales team until this problem is resolved.

  11. List all the healthy and make sure none of them were missed contacting.

  12. No matter the amount of quantity ordered company must make sure they have reached each and every customers.

  13. Once the company loses the trust its hard to built again so they must make sure they never gonna lose trust."

  14. Not only setting up the target for the FST but also making him aware of the importance of every customer and making the no of sales also counts not just quantity

  15. The person who took high volume will get more discounts. The people with the less order will get a minimum discount, where as all the customers will get the equal attention from sales team.

  16. "Engage customer with the help of social media and keep them updated abt all the products

  17. Make a survey asking customer how we can improve the service

  18. Keeping the track of reviews and ratings

  19. "Maintaining the proper data of the customer and also taking feedback from the customers and if there is any compliant need to correct it and try to get feedback of the correction they have made

  20. Must go order about serving."

  21. Giving same preference/service to all type of customers.

  22. First they should open a website, and they should link to all social media like Facebook, Instagram etc.. They can have their own app..

Teacher' Note

The company needs to address the Leads into categories like ABC and provide different baskets and Sales team should access all baskets in fair amount. Senior Sales Reps should help and support new team members in achieving sales and helping get a team based target while achieving their target too. Having a unified CRM will help in ensuring all customers are handled in right way, and duplicity of effort can be avoided.
