What is a CRM, and how it works?
CRM is not a functionality; it’s a strategy that revolves around the philosophy of better customer experience. As per the CX statistics that got recently published in Forbes, 86 percent of customers are ready to pay more for an enriched customer experience. At the same time, 60 percent of customers are more inclined towards profitability. Remember, it often happens that every 1 out of 3 customers leave the brand or will not avail of the services just because of one single reason. Guess what? It’s only because of one negative experience.
A sturdy CRM with numerous customer-centric features will help to secure repeated business. The more you serve, the more you grow!
If we talk about the insurance domain, where agents have to survive the cut-throat competition for providing better products, coverages and service, there is just one hidden window that can bring you more business. Do you want to know what that window is? It’s a well-integrated CRM.
A CRM platform helps to integrate multiple facets of an insurance business. Moreover, it’s cost-effective as it enables you to connect people and help break down the data silos, providing you a complete real-time picture of what’s going on in your business.
What is an AMS?
Agency Management System (AMS) helps insurance agencies organize their book of business, which enables them to run their operations effectively. AMS helps you with data and information about carriers, policies and coverages i.e. the focus is all around policies.
What is CRM and AMS integration and how it works?
It is possible an Agency Management System by itself can help you manage your Insurance Agency to drive sales and service policies. It is like using a swiss knife to cut the trunk of a tree. Yes you are right, it is not the right tool for it. You need a chainsaw. Thus to manage sales and marketing for an Agency, you need a sales system i.e. a CRM. CRM is the chainsaw for your agency. The right tool to do the right job.
Magic is not created in having a wonderful customer focused CRM or a policy focused AMS but When an AMS and CRM are partnered. Magic is created in data sync. “Integrity of data is so important. It is priceless” Josh Hernandez – Sogo Insurance. Add data in one system and it reflects real time with no touch in another system be it for data comprehensiveness or just for E&C and record keeping purposes. AMS and CRM integration is a game changer where Agencies do not have to limit themselves with AMS options and crib about not having the tool or ability to plug in the tool to be more efficient and get better results. Integration between CRM and AMS helps insurance agents stay connected to customers, streamline processes, and improve profitability.
Seamless integration between a CRM and AMS caters to some of the major insurance industry’s pain points- marketing, sales, support and communications.
This seamless data integration and uninterrupted communication will help the individual insurance agents cross-sell and up-sell more efficiently while generating repeated sales of the existing clients.
