How a CRM for manufacturing can benefit your business

Manufacturing businesses like yours rely on a steady customer base to sell more products and accelerate revenue. And communicating effectively with your current customers is the key to keeping them returning to your business again and again. That’s why building relationships with your current and future customers is essential.

A CRM helps your company foster strong relationships, encourage prospective customers to purchase from your business, and turn your leads into revenue.

Here are a few benefits the right CRM provides to companies in the manufacturing industry:

Features you need in your CRM for manufacturing

There are lots of CRM options out there, so how do you know which is the best for your manufacturing business?

It’s important to compare your CRM options with your company’s unique needs to find a solution that works for your team. There are some essential features like contact and sales pipeline management that many CRMs have, but finding the right balance of features and pricing can be challenging.

If you need a manufacturing industry CRM, Nutshell is the ideal solution. With lots of heavy-hitting CRM features, transparent and affordable pricing, and free live support for all customers, there’s a reason why so many manufacturing companies are already using Nutshell to improve their sales processes and close more deals.

Take a look at some of Nutshell’s key features and how they can help your manufacturing business drive revenue:

Contact management to organize customer information for stronger relationships

It’s hard to manage all your leads and potential clients at various stages of your sales funnel on your own. That’s why manufacturing businesses need CRM solutions that help with client relationship management to earn more sales.

Nutshell’s manufacturing CRM simplifies managing prospect and client data and allows everyone on your team to access important notes, documents, and relationship history whenever needed so that you can put your best foot forward with every interaction.

Nutshell’s contact management features allow you to keep track of valuable information about your clients and points of contact, like:

  • Contact information, website, social media URL, and geographic location
  • Website visitor tracking data like revenue, number of employees, industry, and number of visits to your site, all powered by Nutshell’s VisitorIQ
  • Interactions with your team members and marketing messages
  • Upcoming meetings, tasks, and activities associated with your contacts
  • Lead stage in your sales pipeline
  • Purchase history

Pipeline management to help your sales reps manage hundreds of deals at once

Seeing into your sales pipeline is crucial for developing a successful sales process, ensuring your sales reps stay on track, and making sure no lead ever slips through the cracks.

At Nutshell, we understand that manufacturing companies may be juggling complex sales processes and long sales cycles. That’s why we’ve built Nutshell to simplify managing even the most complicated pipelines.

With Nutshell’s customizable pipelines, it’s easy to track hundreds of projects through various stages, from initial consultation all the way to completion.

See how Nutshell’s pipeline management features can help you surge ahead of your competitors:

  • View and manage your sales pipeline in four different ways (chart, map, board, or list) so that your sales reps can choose the best option that works for them.
  • Customize your lead board to see all the information your team needs to see front and center.
  • See the geographic location of all your customers so you can better plan on-site meetings and activities.
  • Mark leads as “hot,” so your team knows which deals to prioritize.

Sales automation to get your team back to doing the most important work

Sales Email Drip

Automation is a powerful feature found in software designed for the manufacturing industry. Sales automation puts more time back into your team’s week and more selling activities on their schedules.

With a powerful manufacturing CRM like Nutshell, you can automate repetitive sales tasks, like collecting and storing client contact details and sending emails. Nutshell helps you eliminate time-consuming tasks that take up your sales team’s to-do list so they can spend more time selling your products.

See how else Nutshell’s sales automation features help manufacturers get ahead:

  • Design the perfect sales process and provide guidance to your sales reps at each stage.
  • Auto-assign leads that meet certain criteria to the team members who are most qualified to close the deal.
  • Automatically move leads through your pipeline when they meet your goals.
  • Send personal email sequences to prospects depending on where they are in your funnel so you can get the right message to them at the right time.
  • See into the effectiveness of your sales funnel to optimize your processes and win more sales.

Reporting and analytics to improve decision-making

Improving your sales and marketing strategies is the key to selling more products to grow your manufacturing company. The best way to optimize your processes is to analyze what’s working and improve what’s not.

That’s where reporting and analytics come in. Nutshell’s powerful reporting capabilities ensure all that’s standing between you and accurate, insightful, presentation-ready reports is a couple of clicks.

With Nutshell’s user-friendly sales analytics features, you can:

Email marketing tools to attract and retain your ideal customers

An important part of nurturing customer relationships is staying in touch, and having effective marketing strategies is a great way to keep prospects and customers in the loop.

Run email marketing campaigns to share key updates, promote your products, gather survey insights, and keep your company fresh in potential customers’ minds. And when your sales and marketing data are all in the same place, it’s easier than ever to create highly specific email audiences and see how your sales and marketing efforts fit together.

Nutshell’s built-in email marketing platform, Nutshell Campaigns, makes creating, sending, and optimizing effective email marketing campaigns easy.

  • Automate your email campaigns to set your winning campaigns on a course to greater engagement.
  • Test your email campaign content to find the messaging that resonates most with your audience.
  • Track email engagement metrics like open and click rate.

Nutshell is the best value for the money. The versatility and functionality make it a very easy and powerful product to use.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

Daniel H. EOS

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.
