The Challenge
Hoyes Michalos were using a legacy system restricting the company from effectively managing leads after they have been qualified.
Customer inquiries submitted via website contact forms were sent to a single email inbox and couldn’t be automatically captured as leads. The company was looking for a collaborative and flexible CRM solution that could address all of these issues and help them better manage leads and prospects.
They required a CRM that would:
- Automatically create leads based on email inquiries as soon as it come into the inbox.
- Enable the company’s 60 representatives to easily qualify leads.
- Enable the reps to immediately respond to the incoming inquiries and initiate real-time conversations with the prospects.
- Be seamlessly integrated with their email servers to ensure all communications are logged in the CRM.
