Benefits of a CRM for customer service and support teams

The quality of your customer data and the ability to access it easily is absolutely critical to any customer support and service company or team. You need a system that makes organizing and managing customer contact information, purchase records, and engagement history a breeze.

Dealing efficiently with customer needs is also crucial to any successful customer service team. When you’re able to resolve their issues and help them leverage the benefits of the products and services they’ve purchased, customers will likely enjoy a positive experience.

Positive customer experiences lead to higher client retention and advocacy rates, helping your business grow and flourish. In fact, with an advanced CRM solution for customer support and service teams, these are some of the benefits you can look forward to:

Indispensable features of a customer service CRM

Customer service and support teams need a CRM system that provides tools for connecting with and nurturing customers. Whether resolving product-related stumbling blocks or providing product implementation assistance, great service begins and ends with managing and building customer relationships.

To achieve this, you must source a CRM system with the features to bolster your customer support and service efforts. In other words, you want a CRM with features that promote enhanced customer data management, improved team collaboration, increased team productivity, and tailored service and support processes.

Nutshell’s long list of incredible features includes these and far more, making it the perfect CRM platform for customer service and support companies and teams. With Nutshell as part of your customer service tech stack, you’ll have the following powerful features at your fingertips:

Customer data management for quality data and ease of access

The key CRM feature at the heart of your business’s growth and success is advanced customer data management. Customer data is the be-all and end-all of a great service or support team. This means the data and information you have at your disposal should be of the highest quality and easy to access.

Nutshell offers industry-leading contact management solutions to help your business gain an edge over your competitors. Put the restrictive and difficult-to-manage spreadsheet aside and open the door to data management as you’ve never experienced it before.

With Nutshell’s customer data management features, you can take advantage of:

  • Accurate contact data that ensures everyone on your team has the right information when they need it.
  • A central repository containing all contact-related data and information, accessible across departments.

  • All the essential documentation related to the customer and their purchases saved to the contact record.

Interdepartmental collaboration for enhanced customer experiences

A successful customer service team prioritizes elevating the customer’s experience at every business touchpoint. That means everyone in your organization must be able to access and share crucial customer data across departments.

Nutshell gives your team the collaboration features you need to ensure everyone on your extended team is in the loop. With Nutshell as your chosen CRM solution, you can rest assured everyone in your organization has access to the information they need to encourage customer satisfaction and trust with every interaction.

Any customer-facing team can benefit from customizable pipelines that offer the ability to create workflows that support their operation. Your service and support staff need a CRM solution equipped with robust pipeline creation tools, allowing them to design and optimize customer service processes that meet their needs.

Regardless of the type of service or support offered, Nutshell lets you build pipelines filled with stages, tasks, and activities tailored to your preferred processes. From case management to customer onboarding, product implementation, and general support, you can capitalize on the following Nutshell custom pipeline workflow benefits:

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.
