Top 10 CRM Plugins for WordPress to Grow Your Business
To grow your business and communicate with your clients you need to keep track of your contacts, leads and community members. Many businesses these days turn to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to engage with clients and better understand their needs.
Before the computer era, business owners used a Rolodex which is a desktop binder with alphabet order markers. This analogue tool helped businessmen keep track of their contacts. As a rule, each entry had a business card of a client and a few notes about their needs and previous sales.
In today’s world CRM has grown from a desktop manual tool to entire software as a service industry with numerous solutions from simple to complex depending on your business needs. Here we’re going to talk about CRM solutions and plugins for WordPress to help you grow your business and never become lost in your huge list of contacts.
Why Do I Need CRM for My WordPress Website?
Modern CRM systems give you options and data a retro Rolodex could only dream of. They allow you to create a searchable index of your clients and help you track and manage every integration with a particular client throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
Let’s take a closer look at the key features of today’s CRM software:
- client classifications (contacts, leads, accounts, opportunities and custom notes);
- data management (import, export of data, data backups, and more);
- organization (tasks, calendars, events, reminders, notes and more);
- marketing (integration with email box, social media sites and more);
- analytics (sales reports, trends and more).
All these features are just a tip of the iceberg. CRM allows you to keep track of huge amounts of data both personally and as a team.
There are tons of free and paid CRM solutions (such as Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and others). Such types of services are quite expensive.
