The Art of the Customer Visit: How to Plan One + Why You Should

When was the last time you visited a customer? Customer visits might seem extravagant and unnecessary on the surface.

Why not just get on a phone call or Zoom meeting? Or follow up with them via email? You could just send them a survey, or even dig into your product analytics to surface insights.

That said, if I’m talking to another entrepreneur and say something like, "It's super crucial you physically visit your customers", they all look at me as if I just said the most obvious thing in the universe.

And we’re not excluding ourselves here: We launched Close in January of 2013, but our first customer visit was more than a year later!

Some businesses put off visiting customers because it takes time, and it’s easy to push down on your long to-do list. Or, it may seem more urgent to focus on getting new customers to sign on, rather than visiting existing customers.

If this sounds like you, let’s discuss the benefits of visiting your customers, and how you can set up successful customer visits.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting Your Customers in Person?

It’s true: COVID has permanently altered the way B2B sales works. Studies by McKinsey show that companies have reduced their in-person efforts as a go-to-market strategy by more than 50 percent since the pandemic started.

That said, a decent number of B2B buyers still prefer in-person contact during the customer journey.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting Your Customers in Person

And this is exactly where the opportunity lies—fewer companies are vying for your customer’s attention in person. This opens the playing field for your company to perform more customer visits.

And trust me—it’s worth the effort. Here's a quick rundown of the value we got from our first customer visits.

Motivate Your Team to Serve Customers Better

Seeing real people use your product is incredibly inspiring. It energizes you. It recharges your batteries. It gives you a visceral sense of how your work actually impacts the life of your users, rather than just an intellectual understanding. It's like pouring gasoline on the fire that fuels your engine.

Everybody on your team—from the CEO to the intern—should visit a customer, for this reason alone.

It is different from hearing customers tell you how much they love your product or how great they think it is. You just have to experience customer satisfaction happening in real-time. You need to see real human beings depending on what you built. You need to witness how your product helps them to operate better, to be better at what they are doing.

The impact you make on other people's lives is a much stronger driver than any number on a spreadsheet can ever be. Do not underestimate how much this affects you. It's powerful.

Build Better Customer Relationships

Meeting someone in person adds another dimension to your relationship with your customer. You can do a lot of relationship-building via email, chat, phone, and Zoom, but nothing has the same effect as meeting someone in person. It creates a human bond between the two of you.

Jason Lemkin of SaaStr says he never lost a customer whom he had personally visited while he was CEO of EchoSign. Spending time with your customers transforms a transactional relationship into a partnership. It builds empathy on both sides, which ultimately leads to better business.

In-person customer visits are one of the best ways to build customer intimacy . It deepens the commitment on both sides. If one of the people we met needs help one day, we'll be more eager to support them. And I'm pretty sure they'll be more forgiving if there's ever an issue with Close and be more loyal to our product.

Get In-depth Product Feedback on the Customer Experience

Your customers are more than the sum of all their clicks on your product. Yes, you might be monitoring product usage and reading all the feedback people send you via email or even tell you on the phone, but you're missing a lot of crucial context if you can't see your customers using your product within their work environment.

  • How exactly are they using your product?
  • What's happening around them?
  • What else is on their screen?
  • What's competing for their attention?
  • What's their workspace like?

When you visit your customers, you get to see the environment in which they use your software. You experience your product embedded into a user's workday and get a sense of the entire puzzle, rather than just a single piece of it.

And it's little things, like...

  • What kind of headsets /chairs/desks are they using?
  • What other software/apps are they using during their day?
  • Which little hacks did they come up with to make them more productive and efficient?
  • What makes them smile, and what makes them frown when interacting with your web or mobile app ?

It just gives you a better picture of what's working and what's not.

Here’s a real example: during one customer visit, we saw that the customer was using a TV to display our reporting in Close . But at the time, our reporting page wasn’t optimized for full-screen display—it looked crappy.

I remembered that one of our engineers had worked on a quick fix that would make this look better, but we had never released it. I sent a message to the team, and within an hour, this feature was released by our VP of Engineering, Phil Freo . It looked fantastic, and our customers loved it.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting Your Customers in Person - Get in-Depth Product Feedback on the Customer Experience

While visiting customers, you can gather more in-depth feedback about how they’re using your product and where they would like to see improvements in the customer experience. Product managers can then use this information to build out improvements.

Find Opportunities to Upsell

Years ago, during one customer visit, we found the customer was on a basic plan that didn’t include a specific feature. Instead, they were using a third-party provider to get this feature for their sales team.

Talking with the founder, we faced some resistance to upgrading their plan. But we gained an internal champion during that customer visit by chatting with the sales team manager. We gave him everything he needed to make the transition happen, and they soon upgraded their plan to start using this feature again.

What Are the Benefits of Visiting Your Customers in Person - Find Opportunities to Upsell

This is the power of in-person visits—not only did the extra revenue help us, but by upgrading their plan, the customer’s success with our product was significantly increased.

Create New Case Studies and Customer Stories

Using case studies and real-life examples of how your customers use your product is an excellent digital marketing strategy and one that will help build trust in your brand.

When planning customer visits, think about the customers you may want to interview for video testimonials or case studies on your website. Having these real customer stories also helps build better marketing alignment with your ideal customers and their needs.

All of these are examples of the kinds of benefits you can get from visiting your customers. You can't predict which benefits precisely you'll get—but you will always get value from a customer visit!

How to Plan a Client Visit That Boosts Customer Loyalty in 7 Steps

By now, you should be sufficiently motivated to actually visit your customers. But what do you say and do? How do you get the most value out of these visits? How do you prepare for them? How do you wrap them up? How do you get started when you visit their office?

1. Identify Which Customers to Visit

Whether you have 10 customers or 10,000, it’s probably not feasible to visit everyone. So, which customers should you visit?

To start, make a list of the customers who already have a good rapport with you—your partners, advocates, and overall best customers.

Next, include customers who are using your product or purchasing from you on a regular basis. Learning about how they use your products and services, or why they keep coming back to you, will be great for your team.

Finally, make sure to include the customers who consistently give you critical feedback. These customers are already pushing your team to do better, and they will likely have super valuable insights to share with you when you visit in person.

2. Decide Who You’re Meeting With

Once you know which companies you’ll visit, decide which individuals inside the company you’ll need to meet with.

First of all, you set up a meeting with the founders or CEO. That's the person you'll be officially meeting. But it's not necessarily the person you'll spend most of the time with.

For SaaS companies, focus on the person managing the team that's using your product, as well as the end-users. If you’re a service-based business, talk to the people who are mainly affected by using your services.

How to Plan a Client Visit That Boosts Customer Loyalty in 7 Steps - Decide Who You Are Meeting With

3. Spend Time Getting to Know the Business Beforehand

Just like when prospecting, spend time doing research before the meeting—whether that’s on social media sites like LinkedIn, on the company’s website, or in B2B databases like Crunchbase.

When you walk into that client visit, you should know exactly who you’re talking to, what kind of business they are, which customers they serve, and how your product or service fits into that workflow.

4. Prepare and Share an Agenda

Having a clear agenda for your customer visit is essential to get the most out of the time you spend with your customers.

Start by setting out the agenda for your main meetings with the C-suite and with the managers of the teams that use your product. Set up talking points: such as updates to your product pricing, or upcoming feature launches in your product. Also, leave room in the agenda for their team to add any questions or comments. Leave a clear space for them to give you feedback.

Once your customer visit agenda is prepared, share it with their team. Let them have editing access so they can include their ideas. Make sure that expectations between you and your customer are aligned before you start asking them a lot of questions. Create a setting that encourages them to discuss and share their concerns openly.

Also, make sure to discuss confidentiality. If you plan to report back to your team after your customer visit, explicitly ask them if they're fine with you sharing their business processes, revenue numbers, etc, with your team. (If not, that's fine too—you can still share the learnings, without actual specifics, with your team.)

That way, both teams will be ready to get started when the day comes.

5. Learn About the Customer Experience in Real Time

So, the day of your customer visit has finally arrived! Start by talking in general, broad terms about their business and your business. Then, progress to more specific topics and product use cases.

Be both a student and a mentor. Learn as much as you can about your customers, and look for opportunities to help them. Learn about their workflows, and your product fits into those workflows.

Here are some questions you might ask during a client visit:

  • How often do you use our product?
  • Which team members use our product the most? How often do they use it?
  • Are there secondary users that only use our product occasionally? If so, for what? How often?
  • What are your business goals?
  • How do you implement our product in your daily workflow?
  • What bugs have you encountered?
  • What features are you missing within our product?
  • What do you like most about our product?
  • What do you hate about our product? Which limitations do you find particularly frustrating?
  • Which metrics does your team track within our product? (Or which KPIs does our product impact for your team?)
  • If our product ceased to exist tomorrow, what alternatives would you consider to replace us?
  • Are there any trends or changes in the industry that could affect the way you use our product in the future?

These questions and others like them will give you a clearer picture of how your customers use your product, and how it impacts their business.

6. Ask for and Give Referrals

Visiting customers is a great opportunity to get referrals . And to refer them to others as well. Don't just limit referrals to potential customers—any reason to put them in touch with other people is fair game, as long as you can see potential value for both parties.

Sometimes we see companies serving the same audience with complementary services—that's potential for a co-marketing initiative. If you introduce two happy customers to each other, and they collaborate together, and both get a ton of value out of it, you generate a lot of goodwill, and oftentimes very vocal brand advocates.

If you have a partner program set up, try to see if the customer you’re visiting would be a good candidate for that program, and help them understand how it works and the benefits they could get.

7. Create a Customer Visit Report for Your Team

If you do conduct a customer visit, make sure to document your learnings and take note of memorable moments. Then, you can share these insights with your team.

It's important that all the insights you gain during a customer visit actually become organizational knowledge—otherwise, your customer visits are basically useless.

So, set up a structured customer visit report that your team can peruse and learn from, both now and in the future. Inside this document, note specific items that will be of interest to the different teams in your company—for example, product feedback that your product managers may want to look at, customer journey insights that the marketing team should keep in mind, or product knowledge gaps that the customer success team may need to address.

To make sure everyone in the company benefits from customer visits, we try to share some pictures or highlights from our customer visits in Slack, and then during our weekly team meeting, a team member might give a quick 2-minute summary of their customer visit.

How Often Should You Plan Customer Visits?

There's no one-size-fits-all formula. It depends on your startup, but in general: you should meet them more often than you're meeting them now.

Jason Lemkin recommends every co-founder, CEO, and Customer Success Manager should meet on-site with five customers a month.

Being able to see the environment in which your customers use your product, the atmosphere at their workplace, and talking with the people who use your product daily is always an insightful experience.

Customer visits have been a crucial market research method for traditional businesses for many decades—but they're even more crucial for startups and SMBs . Your most powerful asset when you're in a market with established, large companies is your ability to understand your customers better and focus on their needs better than a large corporation can.

Michael Seibel, Managing Director at Y Combinator, said : "If you look around the startup ecosystem, you can find too many founders who believe that famous investors + lots of employees = winning. I bet most of our VC-backed competitors feel this way, and you can use this to defeat them (they aren't talking to customers nearly enough).”

How to handle visitors without appointment: customer visit plan for IT companies

customer-visit-plan-feature-image

A customer visit plan helps prepare for intensive meetings. For unexpected visits to your office from clients, read on how to handle visitors without an appointment.

As a story, I remember: “I have been working with the law company for 20 years. No one has been out to see my shop”. They have been a business partner for two decades; however, the law firm has not visited its business client once. It proves that nothing can compare to personal interaction between companies and their clients.

With scheduled client meetings, companies will know what to do during the client visit. So regardless of unexpected client visits, what should firms do? Read about how to handle visitors without an appointment in a software development company. 

Client visits build long-lasting business relationships. Firms learn more about clients: business opportunities, legal needs, understanding protocols, and feedback from existing projects. Moreover, companies will have a chance to meet other people and foster relationships. 

customer visit center

Why do firms need to make a customer visit plan?

Customer visit plan: fostering business relationships .

How do firm client visits are critical to their success? A survey into sales and marketing alignment stated that there was a significant correlation between sales and marketing and their concentration. It not only focuses on customer-centric metrics but also on regular client visits. Client visits provide valuable insights and information about a business opportunity and its operations. As a software development company, it is critical to think that client visits create and help build long-term relationships with clients. 

A customer visit plan is a key 

Some customer visits are inexpensive since it happens on zoom or any online meeting platform. Firms have online discussions with clients, which does not mean the interaction is inexpensive. Companies still invest in the same sorts of things as in-person meetings with clients. Sales teams and competitors are trying to solicit clients for business deals. Thus, clients will appreciate talking or discussing with someone who is not trying to sell or upsell. However, firms must organize intensive meetings with clients rather than invest in hearing their problems. 

  • Client visits make our customers feel appreciated and cared for. 
  • The client visit creates a bond through imitating meetings. When visiting the office, clients can see how our development teams integrate software into the workflow. Besides, firms will study the client’s behavior and show them how you will support them. 
  • Client visits help detect solutions or problems not be discussed through telephone and emails. 
  • Company workers feel more motivated since they get honest and personal feedback on your software development products or services. 

How to handle visitors in the office: create a detailed customer visit plan 

There is a story of an important client visiting the company headquarters who had been working. As usual, the client meets a receptionist at the office, tending to be easier for that company. The company occupies two floors: staff on the second floor and the reception on the third floor. When the client arrives on the second floor and no one is there to welcome them. Needless to say, that client was not happy. Therefore, preparing an intensive customer visit plan is critical for most firms during the client visit. So a software development company, what should they do to handle visitors in the office? 

customer visit center

How to handle visitors without appointments: Tips & Helps 

Regardless of unexpected clients, here are some tips for ensuring to welcome clients when they visit your office.

  • Training employees
  • Remind receptionists and sales
  • Personalized greetings
  • Create welcoming working environment

Training employees even for unexpected occurrences in entrepreneurship

Employees should perceive that all visitors are personal customers. It means all have to make eye contact, smile, say hello, and ask any unattended questions. It will make a difference between having an unwilling experience and a potential customer. 

Remind receptionists and sales to be attentive 

The receptionists in the office can be the most important ones since they greet customers at the beginning. If the receptionist is busy with phone calls, they can make friendly eye contact and hand gestures. Besides, a salesman will be another person who communicates and interacts with the clients during their business trip. 

Personalized greetings: customer visit plan

Is there a lobby board that says “Welcome, Mr. Veon from Adamo Software” for example? This is a single gesture that puts together and shows your clients that you care about them. It builds long-term business relationships and opens more opportunities and references. For instance, a software development company like Adamo prepares welcome posts on social media and banners on TV screens to greet clients. 

Create a clean and welcoming working environment 

Companies maintain a clean workspace, particularly near the entrance and meeting rooms. Is there any paint chipping? Creating a clean environment ensures your working space shines which will reflect professionalism. 

What is the ideal way of greeting a visitor: make the most of client visits 

customer visit center

Set up meeting

Here are some considerations that firms should do during their client visits: 

  • Showcases the visit as a service protocol: Advise the client to set the time for meeting regularly. 
  • If clients want to go somewhere, combine the visit into another trip. Tying the meeting into another trip makes it more efficient for firms and alleviates concerns regarding time and expense. Most customers welcome effort from clients to visit. 
  • When making client visit agenda, firms should consider activities outside of the working time: 
  • Including social time with clients: lunch, dinner, or coffee talks. 
  • Introducing other representatives whom clients have not met or who might be involved in the projects in the company. 
  • Participating in a tour: food tours, sightseeing tours, etc. 
  • Define who will attend the meeting with clients: The company can introduce other team members who have worked on the project. 

Conducting a meeting: How firms make the most of the time with clients 

  • Firms should be involved 80% of the time with clients. Besides, it is essential to ask open-ended questions. 
  • Try to understand the business and legal needs of clients. 
  • Should advance the relationship with clients. Is there anything that firms can do to help? 
  • Ask for a copy of materials: business plans, policies, and handbooks. 

Follow-up activities after the client visit 

  • Thank the clients for their visit: Send a customized thank-you note. Firms can put a sign of gratitude, for example, some firm swag. 
  • Produce a report: Share information, feedback you have received or staff who will work with you. 
  • Follow-up with any future project: In many cases, there are assignments that are out of the meeting. It includes updated information, introductions, a training program, a review of a document, and preparing a proposal for work. 

How to get clients for IT company: Open more future business opportunities 

customer visit center

Some valuable tips to open more business opportunities:

  • Provide value and education
  • Draft unique business persona
  • Go anywhere your clients are

Provide value and education 

A report shows that offering potential clients something valuable and educational instead of selling something will be engaged with clients. It is a great way to begin a rapport which will ultimately result in new business opportunities. 

Draft a unique business persona

Branding is much more than how products and services differ from other competitors. Building a business reputation through developing quality content and interacting on social media help firms attract new prospects and relationships. 

Go anywhere your clients are 

When customers do not get your firm, you will reach them. If your branding strategies do not work, start asking around if anyone is interested in your business. 

Clients have various choices today. If you are trying to get the attention of new clients, which makes you feel like selling sand in a desert. For example, a software development company showcases software application products to clients on social media: videos, images, and demos. 

customer visit center

Organize virtual events 

An effective way of acquiring new customers in the covid-19 pandemic is to hold a virtual event. You should invite current customers and potential clients. Current customers play as a live testimonial to your firm. Organizing a virtual event gives the chance to learn more about branding on a personalized level. 

The Bottom Line 

Planning a client visit to your office is a must for all businesses: scope and industry. With a business-to-business model like a software development company, we perceive that client visit is critical for a company since it helps build long-lasting business relationships with clients. Moreover, it also helps open more business opportunities with current clients and past clients. Make sure your firm will find a feasible way of welcoming guests even if they are scheduled clients or unexpected guests to your office.

What is customer experience?

Customer experience is the impression your customers have of your entire brand throughout all aspects of the buyer’s journey. It results in their view of your brand and impacts factors related to your bottom line, including revenue.

People and products are the two primary touch points that create the customer experience.

Does a product’s performance blow you away? Are you delighted by the attention a customer support rep gives you to help solve your problem?

These are some general examples of the factors to consider when creating a great customer experience.

Are customer service and customer experience the same?

While it might be easy to mistake these two terms for each other, they do not mean the same thing. Customer service relates to how you help customers solve specific problems. As such, it involves a single touchpoint.

Customer experience, on the other hand, involves every interaction a customer has with your brand (throughout their customer journey ) and their impression of those interactions.

However, just because customer service and customer experience aren’t the same doesn’t mean they’re unrelated. Customer service lives under the customer experience umbrella.

A remarkable customer experience is critical to the sustained growth of any business. A positive customer experience promotes loyalty, helps retain customers, and encourages brand advocacy.

Today, customers have the power, not the sellers, thanks to the internet. Customers have many options to choose from, plus the resources necessary to educate themselves and make purchases without outside help.

This is why providing a remarkable experience is important. Great experiences make people want to continue doing business with you. So, how can you measure your customer experience to determine what you’re doing well and where there’s room for improvement?

  • Analyze customer satisfaction survey results.
  • Identify the rate of and reasons for customer churn.
  • Ask customers for product or feature requests.
  • Analyze customer support ticket trends.

1. Analyze customer satisfaction survey results.

Using customer satisfaction surveys (which you can easily create in HubSpot   or in one of the integrated tools like  Survicate ) regularly — and after meaningful moments throughout the customer journey — provides insight into your customers’ experiences with your brand, product, or service.

A great way to measure customer experience is Net Promoter Score or NPS . This measures how likely your customers are to promote you to their friends, family, and colleagues based on their experiences with your company.

When measuring NPS , consider data in aggregate across teams. Since multiple teams impact your overall customer experience, you’ll need a clear picture of performance — and that comes from multiple data points.

For example, what is the NPS for in-product usage? For customer service teams across communication channels (phone, email, chat, etc.)? For sales? For attending a marketing webinar? And so on.

Analyzing NPS from multiple touch points across the customer journey will tell you what you need to improve and where you’re already providing an excellent experience while showing customers you listen and care about what they have to say.

With your NPS score, dive into your team-by-team performance to ensure you’re performing well across the board. Also, you may follow up on customer feedback — whether positive or negative — to connect with customers, deepen your relationship with them, and improve your retention and loyalty.

2. Identify the rate of and reasons for customer churn.

Churn happens — it’s part of doing business. But you must learn from churn when it happens to prevent it from happening again.

Ensure you’re doing regular analysis of your churned customers so you can determine whether your churn rate is increasing or decreasing, the reasons for churn , and actions your team may take in the future to prevent a similar situation .

3. Ask customers for product or feature requests.

Create a forum for your customers to request new products or features to make your offerings more useful and helpful for the problems they’re trying to solve. Whether that forum is shared via email, social media, or a community page, allow customers to proactively offer suggestions.

While you might not implement all the suggestions you receive, it’s worth looking into recurring trends or requests that pop up.

4. Analyze customer support ticket trends.

You should also analyze the customer support tickets your support reps are working to resolve every day. If there are recurring issues among tickets, review possible reasons for those hiccups and how you can provide solutions across the board.

Doing so allows you to decrease the total number of tickets reps receive while providing a streamlined and enjoyable experience for customers.

How to Conduct the Perfect Customer Visit

How to Conduct the Perfect Customer Visit

Customers are the lifeblood of any organization. Whether you have the ability to meet with them face-to-face, or are required to so over Zoom due to our ever-changing reality, customer visits require intentionality. They also provide a golden opportunity to make your customers the North Star they should be – and improve literally everything about your organization as a result. Why a Customer Visit is Worth Its Weight … in Actual Gold

How do we know a customer visit is critical to success? In 2019, we conducted research into sales and marketing alignment, in partnership with DRIFT . In it, we found a significant correlation between the most aligned sales and marketing teams (which were also the most revenue-generating teams) and their focus, not only around customers-centric metrics, but also regular visits with customers.

Planning Customer Visits is Key

Sometimes customer visits are inexpensive (like when they happen on Zoom ). Still, just because you’re  remote doesn’t mean the interaction has to feel inexpensive. In fact, you can still invest in the same sorts of things you did on-site. Think about buying lunch with an UberEats code. Or sending your customers a box with a bunch of goodies for the meeting. In other words, think about how you can make the “visit” an experience.

If someone falls into your target account list, and is likely to have a strong lifetime value in your business, they’re worth visiting. But you have to first make sure there’s mutual agreement around the desired outcome of such a meeting. In other words, why are you getting together?

There could be plenty of possibilities, but three main reasons almost always necessitate a customer visit:

  • You’re close to creating a proposal. If you’re about to put together a proposal, a customer visit will help you achieve the tight alignment you need to make sure what you’re offering is a good fit with what the customer needs. This will likely come after multiple discovery calls and deep dives. You’ve figured out which challenge you want to solve, and have had conversations with various people that lead you to believe it’s time to create an official proposal.
  • You recently created a proposal. (My recommendation is to make the customer visit happen before the creation of the proposal, but it’s better to go after than not at all).
  • Upsell. An often underutilized function of customer visits are to the folks who already invested with you, but of course, this can be leveraged to further the relationship and ensure it stays. It can also be used to uncover additional insights into other products or services that may fit additional, previously undiscovered, challenges. You can also work to prevent customer churn by conducting a customer visit.

Who should be involved in a client visit?

After the “why” comes the “who.” Who needs to attend your customer visit to achieve your desired outcome? There could be a wide variety of internal stakeholders that you want to include. You might have people from business development, marketing, analytics, general managers or directors and/or someone from the C-Suite. There should only be people there who have direct input into and/or influence over the subject matter at hand; no one extra. Once you figure out who should be there, think about each of their differing priorities. If you’re unsure of someone’s priorities, ask them in advance. This will help you show up prepared.

Then consider who should be there from your side. Again, don’t bring anyone who doesn’t have a clear role. There’s no dedicated team that should go to customer visits; it varies based on the goal and the customer. You should know what the customer cares about before you head there. This helps you decide whether you need your CEO present or whether the principal on the account is sufficient.

Before the Visit 

One of the best tips I can give you is to get all the skeletons out of the closet before you get in front of someone. For example, if your customer’s marketing leader beams about his 600 pieces of content, but the business development group complains they are out of date and impossible to find, do you want the first time the marketing leader hears that to be real-time, while you’re onsite? Trust me; you don’t. The whole meeting could go downhill fast. You can work through potential issues by asking if there will be multiple budget stakeholders in the room. If so, as it relates to this project, find out whether they will be contributing some of their budget to the meeting’s desired outcome. If so, what does that look like? These questions can help you spot any areas of potential friction before you’re ever in the room.

Preparation is Prince

The content of your meeting is king, but preparing properly to share that content is certainly a strong runner up. Make sure each attendee has a very specific role, and then prepare the right presentation. Consider the following question to guide your preparation:

  • Are you sharing a slideshow? Audio? Video?
  • What assets will you use before the meeting, during the meeting and after the meeting?
  • How will you leverage small, breakout rooms to facilitate conversations vs. all-together, large group dynamics?
  • Do you need slides, overheads, pens, markers, etc.? If so, it’s a good idea to send these ahead!
  • Do you need a backup plan? For instance, what if your computers don’t work; do you have a hard copy of your presentation?

Then, it’s time to rehearse. Spend time with your team actually going through the presentation before heading to the customer. Talk about who will cover which slides, and how the flow will go. Make sure you’re bringing value to the customer and the tone of the meeting will be what they’re expecting. Finally, send over a message summarizing the purpose of getting together. I like to call this the DOGMA – Details Outlining Goals & Meeting Agenda. I tell them this is what we agreed to, and offer them a chance to come back and add to it or edit what I’ve sent.

During the Client Visit

Here are a few tips for the meeting itself:

  • Watch for signs of misalignment. This often looks like one person repeatedly whispering to another, or in Zoom world, obviously Slacking. If someone is smiling during your presentation and you’re being serious, they’re probably talking about something else with someone on their computer. Even if you notice this, don’t mention it in front of the whole group. Instead, note it for later.
  • What you can explore directly and immediately are the subtle expressions that indicate someone doesn’t buy into what’s being presented. If these things happen, try to draw it out so it can be addressed in the room. Don’t be afraid to just say, “Sally, it looks like you might have something to share.” If there are corporate politics involved and you can’t draw out the issue, try to have a conversation privately in person or via  a private Zoom chat. But stay in tune with all parties as much as you can by reading body language, tone of voice and so on.

Note: This insinuates that when on Zoom everyone has their camera on. Everyone should have their camera on.

  • Record the meeting. Some people get weird about recordings, but having your meeting recorded can go a long way in helping you clarify issues later or capture something that even the best notetaker might miss. If you think someone might not like the idea, have a colleague dial into the meeting and record the call. You can say something like, “Peter couldn’t be here in person, but he wanted to call in.” It’s an easy, subtle way to get a recording to happen without making anyone feel uncomfortable. Enlist a dedicated note taker, but ask all attendees to take notes.
  • Leverage a “Parking Lot.” If someone brings up an idea or thought that isn’t perfectly relevant to where you are in the agenda, jot it down in a “Parking Lot” that you can revisit at the end of the meeting – or afterward.
  • Don’t leave the room without recapping what went on, with details and next steps. “This was our desired outcome and here are the five things we discussed. Numbers one through four have been hashed out, but we need to spend more time on number five so let’s set up a call ASAP to flesh that out more.” Make sure to spell out who owns what, and the agreed upon timeline so you set the expectation for accountability.

After the Visit

You had your meeting.  Now what? This is where you make or break the trust and credibility you worked so hard to create. I suggest sending a quick email to all involved parties, again reiterating what was discussed and the next steps. But take it a step further and get a handwritten thank-you note in the mail that same day. The content should be different – make it personal and send it out fast, and you’ll blow your customer’s socks off. Really.

After you’ve sent the customer a summary, create a customer visit report for your internal teams. A customer visit report should include:

  • Action items
  • Positive highlights
  • Risks and opportunities
  • Any other key observations and notes

Customer visit reports can also be given to clients, or sent in lieu of the email suggested above. After you’ve written up the most important information, it’s time to start taking action.

Take the lead by holding up your end of the bargain. Take care of any items for which you’re responsible, and set up any follow-up meetings that were discussed immediately. The power of a customer visit can quickly be deflated by distraction – and a lack of action – when it’s over.

A Blueprint for Becoming a Customer-Centered Company

Sponsor content from Salesforce.

customer visit center

By Brian Solis

Customers adapt to disruption faster than most organizations.

It’s one of the many lessons we’ve learned since the start of the pandemic. The foundation for the next generation of business rests on enhancing an organization’s internal operations to quickly deliver value-added customer experiences (CX) at scale.

In a recent research report by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services , 88% of survey respondents say it is very important to have a complete and consistent view of their customers across their sales, service, and support channels and platforms. Yet only 31% say they have such a unified view.

Customer centricity represents the future of business model innovation, but organizations need a blueprint to integrate CX insights with a unified engagement model.

Five Steps for Customer Centricity

If you picture a customer-centered company, you might visualize a hub-and-spoke model with customers and everything we know about them at the center, surrounded by supporting business functions.

customer visit center

Organizations can make five changes to better position customers at the center of their operations and innovation cycle:

  • What separates today’s experiences from tomorrow’s improvements starts with assessing current state customer experiences and how they’re supported across your business. A current state assessment is a critical enabler of transformation that tells you where you are so you can chart a course of action. Rob Birse, head of global B2B ecommerce at Kellogg’s, admits everything changed after sitting down with retail customers in the field to learn their pain points. “It totally changed my perspective on how to justify a program. We evolved from focusing on the business case dollars and cents to instead focusing on pain points. Now, we’re looking for pain points all the time and asking the question, ‘Well, what happens if we resolve that?’ When you can resolve pain points at scale, it will unlock revenue streams and make it easier for internal stakeholders to understand the size of the prize.”
  • With a current-state assessment complete, define and articulate what a vision for best-in-class CX should look and feel like . This vision becomes your motivator for a future state: the sheet music for all the cross-functional teams, technology, processes, and policies in your customer-centered symphony.
  • Identify the touchpoints, processes, training, and systems gaps your organization needs to create or improve to deliver the upgraded CX vision. Think of this as an aspirational customer journey map. It’s not about mapping touchpoints and pathways, however; it’s a blueprint for the future, incorporating all the customer-centered enhancements that will deliver the desired experience.
  • Connect and align sources to produce a single view of the customer. To keep up with customers and to deliver a personalized, connected, and evergreen customer experience, connect customer data and engagement records to key touchpoints and transactions that define their experience with your organization.
  • Define, prioritize, and align the resources, tools, roadmaps, timelines, and metrics to begin transforming into a customer-centered company. By creating a cross-functional team that reports directly to senior leadership, you’re committing to this customer-centered vision—putting your transformation plan into action so you can clearly hear the voice of your customer.

A Unified Approach to Customer Centricity Delivers a Unified Customer Experience

Unified CX must drive deep into your organization. Improving CX involves all the back-office functions, systems, and processes that support the front office, including information technology (IT), operations, product development, finance, and human resources.

Traditional models keep these functional leaders disconnected from customers, but they are the gatekeepers to the processes and systems that facilitate customer engagement: finance can partner with line-of-business leaders to champion investments, define key metrics, and set targets for returns.

Customer-centered businesses use technology that enhances internal collaboration around the customer : unifying customer-facing touchpoints, data, and analytics to empower every team with the insights and tools to contribute to excellent customer experiences. Timely shared insights can also lead to improvements in products and services and to operational processes that help your organization continually meet customer expectations.

All these elements working in harmony add up to a human-centered culture, focused on optimizing customer centricity with speed and agility.

Your customer-centered blueprint is based on aligning your company around a single shared view of your customers, and the insights that lead to delivering to them the experiences they value.

How to Design the Customer Experience Center

In my previous blog, I recounted the  “5 Best Practices for Customer Experience Centers,” which focused primarily on what existing customer experience centers do well once they are up and running. But how the design of the experience is critical to creating opportunities for innovation. Let’s take a step back and consider the strategic decisions that go into how to design a great customer experience center.

Location, location, location. One of the more crucial elements in designing a customer experience center is deciding where to put it. Your location should reflect your strategic objectives, so ask yourself: Is there value to being in a geography experiencing significant economic growth? Or does it make more sense to select an area with a high concentration of potential customers? Some centers pop up in clusters where technical excellence is emerging (e.g., Silicon Valley) to monitor trends, hear signals, and create opportunistic “collisions” that lead to accelerated innovation and strategic advantage.

What is your story? How do you talk about your company to others? Do you have just one story, or are there several?

One of the best pieces of advice we heard was to test your story internally before telling it to a customer. Does it resonate with employees? Your story should reflect who you are as a company and what your mission is: in other words, your “corporate DNA.” Malcolm Gladwell talks about “stickiness” in  The Tipping Point ,  defining it as the quality that compels people to pay close, sustained attention to a product, concept, or idea. If your story doesn’t “stick” with employees, it’s not going to “stick” with customers.

Your story should be authentic. Struggles and mistakes are okay – failures are real and universal, and sharing them not only relates your history but also provides an opportunity to showcase how your company addresses that adversity. It isn’t enough for the customer to walk away fully knowledgeable – or even impressed with – your achievements. To move the relationship forward, you need to win their trust in you as a partner they can work with to create something meaningful.

The beginning of your story is likely the history of your companies’ capabilities and innovations, which is a fine ice-breaker but not the core of the interaction. Much more important is your approach to engaging the customer, putting them in your story to elicit a conversation about the really critical problems they need to solve. The solutions you created yesterday may or may not be the solution your customer needs tomorrow. The real story is in your willingness and ability to solve their problem, whether through investing in start-ups, building prototyping capabilities, or dedicating space for shoulder-to-shoulder applications engineering.

Set and Props

Deciding on the elements that will help your story come alive is a key part of your communications. Don’t assume you need to be overly flashy here: the most interesting and effective props were those that were highly relevant to the company, regardless of complexity or sophistication. A cardboard box can be just as fascinating – and, dare I say, sexy? – as a complex 3D printed component.

customer experience center set and props

In general, the centers that made the best impressions used an effective blend of:

  • Hands-on Interaction : Almost every center provided opportunities for customers to interact with samples in a simple and tactile manner, and the best ones found creative ways to maximize the physical proximity of a customer to the products. For example, one of the world’s leading innovators created stations with “person-size” indentations. This seemingly trivial design feature allowed the host to stay close to the customer while still keeping the product at the center of their attention. Whatever you do, just don’t keep the demonstration of your capabilities at arm’s length!
  • Technology : Touchscreen displays provide flexibility to tailor content to each individual visitor and the areas that may be of most interest to them. Centers we visited frequently leveraged already available content (e.g., maps of locations), as well as quick videos of technical concepts or product demonstrations.
  • Kinesthetics : There was a flow of movement designed into many of the centers, usually permitting various pathways to allow for the selection of areas of most interest to each particular visit/visitor. The most memorable kinesthetic moment we experienced was in a center in Silicon Valley with headquarters on the East Coast. As our host walked us through their corporate history, we literally  turned the corner  from their past to their future – the unique story of their Silicon Valley mission. Simple, yet incredibly effective.

The best centers also demonstrated a powerful commitment to reaching a common understanding with visiting customers. For more complex concepts, analogies work wonders – for example, an electrical components provider used a water table to illustrate how current flow works. Others use education and even quizzes to make sure their customers are on the right page. One company had learned that highly subjective concepts (like communicating the color you see) required some level-setting and developed an assessment to test the sophistication of their customers’ visual processes and bring them up to speed accordingly. By taking the time to make sure that the fundamental language “building blocks” were in place, this center ensured that they and their customers spoke the same language in order to arrive at the best possible solution in the most efficient way possible.

customer experience center script

Who do you want telling your story? Most centers utilized a dedicated corps of hosts, a group that knew the center layout and the props and could deliver a good overview of all the technologies and applicable business groups. Frequently, those dedicated hosts were supplemented by customer-specific sales personnel or “cameo” appearances by technology specialists. Centers that experienced a lot of traffic were cognizant of the benefits of rotating their hosts, but there were many longer-term hosts who remained in their position for 10-, 12-, or 15-years because they LOVED their job. Most hosts had tremendous passion for their company, their story, and the potential for innovation with their customers.

Ah. Trick category! There is no script. Just as every customer is unique, so is every customer interaction. It’s not unlike a first date. (Hopefully) you wouldn’t script out an entire evening’s conversation, but you might want to know enough about the other person to have a few topics ready to break the ice. As soon as some common ground is established, there are usually opportunities to connect at a more organic level.

In my next (and final) installment in this series , I’ll talk about how to transition from planning to execution and the best practices in preparing for and conducting a successful customer visit.

Where Thought Leaders go for Growth

how-to background

The importance of customer visits: Tools & tips

Table of contents, what are the benefits, who does it concern and why, what is a customer visit program, before the visit, during the visit, after the visit, final tips: how to simplify the customer visit.

Nowadays, with people being so connected, companies often or completely forget the importance of customer visits. A Digital tool can show you statistics, but can it actually read the true interests or intentions of a client?

The answer to that is most likely not. Usually, the more customers you gain or have to deal with, the more it is essential to keep a close relationship with them.

Wouldn’t you like to be considered more than a data or a click on an ad? I’m pretty sure you would.

Why are customer visits important?

Customers are constantly being solicited by your sales team or your competitor's. In fact, they will likely appreciate talking with a salesman who is not trying to sell goods, but instead someone who is invested in hearing about their problems and preferences. So, by meeting with them:

  • It helps customers feel appreciated
  • It creates a certain bond: Meeting clients in their environment shows you how they integrate your software in their workday. You’d be able to study their behavior and show them your support
  • It detects needs or problems that would not have been obvious on the telephone or by e-mail
  • Finally, company workers will feel more motivated as they will get honest and personal feedback of their product or service

You must keep in mind that you are not the only one soliciting that customer, it is a competitive market, so getting as much personal information as possible will keep you ahead of the game. And finally, seeing their smile and satisfaction in person can be the best reward ever.

You might want to bring your whole team such as the marketing and analytics members to the meeting but remember the goal here is not to sell but to listen and be understanding. Therefore, it should only concern the most profitable customers. And here is how to do it:

  • Refer to your CRM tool and highlight, via the sales dashboard or cross tables, those who have ordered the most often or with the best average basket;
  • Profile your customers. For instance, by using a progression metric, which assumes that the most interesting customers are those who have the best potential (good contact, several exchanges to date) but who have not yet made many purchases.

In a logic of cost reduction, a strategy to take into account is also the optimization of b2b sales funnel : you organize your customer visits by geographical area , and link them in order to lose as little time as possible between each appointment. 

This method can only boost your notoriety amongst customers and build customer loyalty. Because once it is done properly, it increases your efficiency to read and better understand the customer. And as it is generally said, time is money as well as of the essence.

  • The Best B2B Sales Lead Generation Strategies
  • The 7 Fundamental Steps of a B2B Sales Cycle

A customer visit provides an opportunity for interaction between the parties involved to reach a settlement. Discussions may include pricing and terms, advertising, and 'team' approaches to visits. Strategizing is very essential and should not be omitted. It really gives you a true insight into a customer’s perspective.

Customer visits can be divided into four classes:

  • It can be a Customer visit with the senior management team. Owners, presidents, general managers, and so on.
  • A customer visit with the sales managers
  • A customer visit with a team of two or more people.
  • And finally, a customer visit with an individual. This could be a member of the sales management team or a sales person.

How to prepare for it?

Preparation is key as it helps with your confidence and organization.

  • First step is to make an appointment with the person or people in charge.

Ask them when they will be available and set a time and date.

Make sure that each party is aware of what the meeting will be about beforehand.

Speak to them about confidentiality, that everything you report back to your team will be done with their consent.

  • On your end, if you haven’t already, keep studying your customer.

See what has changed in the use of the product from now up until the day of the meeting. Study their company, visit their website to know more about their products, services, and their world. Build a client portfolio or a persona. 

It will help you personalize the interview with a guaranteed effect!

Make sure each attendee on your team knows their role.

Review and reread your files as well as the history of exchanges and purchases, if applicable, to have all the keys in hand.

Do not forget to have a backup plan. It shows your professionalism in case something goes wrong.

Pay attention to CAC customer acquisition cost and customer lifetime value calculation to balance your fee.  

Once every concerned individual is informed about the meeting, this is where you get into the gist of things.

Start off with light conversations, then get to the purpose of the meeting.

Make them feel comfortable. You do not want to seem too keen to get down to business.

Keep in mind that this is a mutual agreement, so the customer or client won’t run away. Nevertheless, here are a few topics you can do and speak about:

  • Be at the same time the student and the mentor. Pay attention to them as well as try to find the best solution to their problem.
  • Get to know what their daily work life looks like. Ask open-ended questions. Allow the customer to take the lead and talk.
  • If possible, focus on who uses your products or services more. And if so, how often and what are the main reasons?
  • Once you have determined the necessity they have for said products and services, ask them what they would like to be changed. Are there any bugs?
  • Above all, take notes, whether the information seems useful to you in the short, medium or long term, or not, perhaps this data will be useful later or will speak to one of your colleagues.
  • Finally, don’t leave the room without summarizing what was said, as well as speaking of the next step you will take to ensure their needs are met.

Many benefits can come out of this.

Have a debrief . Review what happened. What did you learn? Were some of your questions answered? Did you reach your goals? What was the most helpful?

Then, follow up with the customer and your team . Send the customer a thank-you note, so they can know you appreciate the time spent together and the feedback they have given you.

It doesn’t need to stop there, as keeping a close relationship and giving your customer or client the best experience is not a day process but a constant and ongoing contact with them. Which is why your next steps should involve:

  • making a new appointment,
  • drawing up a diagnosis or a commercial proposal ,
  • preparing for the negotiation based on the customer's specific requests,
  • identifying trends in the marketplace . If a number of your customer visits reveal the same concern, this may be an area that you need to focus on.
  • communicating important elements to the relevant teams (e.g. the after-sales team).

Customer relations, like all professions, are going digital.

This is all the more appropriate as salespeople are professionals who often work on the move.

It is therefore essential to equip them with a mobile sales management application.

There are interesting tools for note-taking and customer visit reports, as it allows you to create any business document, tailored to your image.

Your documents are unified and 100% dematerialized, for consistency and centralization that benefits the whole company, especially the sales representatives in the field, who no longer lose any of their work.

Depending on the different email scenarios configured, the managers receive a summary and the customer a recap by email. And if the visit is successful, you can even have the customer sign an order in the same breath!

The tool can also communicate with your CRM, a second essential tool which thanks to technology can directly be mobile, that is to say on your phones and tablets.

Using a flexible and customizable software, your sales representatives have all the necessary tools at their disposal on their smartphone or tablet: customer files updated in real time, connection to your ERP, generation of sales documents (quotations, order forms, invoices), and access to order history, stocks and your catalogue.

And you, have you tested any digital tools for your customer relations?

What did you think of them?

If you are still here, here is one last piece of advice: Always look to the future but do not forget that customer satisfaction is crucial to a company’s success.

Nothing beats a face to face meeting as hidden gems can be said. Take the time to know who you are catering to. Customers buy when they feel loyalty and consideration. Do not overlook great relationships that can lead to great opportunities.

8 Proven Best Practices For An Effective Customer Visit

Customer visits are an excellent means of handling disputes, improving sales opportunities, and building customer relationships. Here are 8 tips to prepare for a customer visit:

  • Set the date and time for the visit strategically:  Nothing's worse than going at their busiest time. Maybe they have a seasonality, or it's a quarter-end. You don't want them to be distracted. When you're on the visit, you want to spend time with them. So, plan it strategically.
  • Send discussion documents or work papers in advance:  It could be that you're reconciling a high volume of invoices that they are refusing to pay. Or there are deductions that you just can't unravel. Always send all the documents in advance so that the customer has sufficient time to prepare as well.
  • Determine who from your company should attend to address any concerns:  It could be your sales rep or someone from your staff who's been working on a particular issue and meeting with the customer to resolve it. Anticipate what issues or concerns the customer could have. Plan ahead and include the people who can address their issues.
  • Inform the customer well in advance who you want to meet:  Get a nod on your customer's availability and whether they are prepared for the time you want to spend with them.
  • Take time to understand the customer's business before the meeting:  You can ask probing questions that will help you understand the real challenge. When you're on-site, assess their business needs, understand their customer base, competitors, and industry trends. This way you can anticipate if there's going to be higher demand requiring a review of their credit line.
  • Communicate the purpose of the visit to key stakeholders:  It could be your senior management or owner. It could be a sales or a product manager. It could be somebody in customer service or operations. If there are some logistics issues or any other kind of problem that they can help you with, they should be aware that you're going to this meeting and who you're going to meet with.
  • What if it's a negotiation:  If so, define the roles and the talking points in advance. Sometimes it's a better strategy just to walk away than to make too much of a compromise. Always try to leave the opportunity for further discussion.

Best free CRM

Bitrix 24

Starting monthly fee

Maximum users, what you should know.

If you’re looking for a free CRM, look no further than Bitrix 24. Its software is free forever for an unlimited number of users — pretty much unheard of in the industry. The free plan comes with 35 free online sales tools, an omnichannel contact center, customizable fields, marketing automation and inventory management. It also offers VoIP telephony support, including call recording, transfer and forwarding.

However, the free plan doesn’t offer webmail or telephone, its video call functionalities are pretty limited and you can’t share files across departments. If those features are necessary to your operations, consider upgrading to one of its four paid plans, starting at $61 monthly for five users.

The paid plan prices are pretty expensive relative to other companies, and some customers report that its interface isn’t user-friendly and is burdensome to use. So, if the free plan doesn’t work for you, you may be better served with others on this list for the price.

Pros and cons

  • Comprehensive free CRM plan.
  • Unlimited number of users on free plan.
  • One Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box integration on all plans.
  • Paid plans are relatively expensive.
  • Outdated user interface.
  • Limited customer support.
  • Most app features are limited to higher-tier customers.

More details

Highly customizable.

Salesmate

Salesmate is an attractive, user-friendly CRM that’s packed with customization features. It allows businesses to create their own modules, fields, pipelines and dashboards to build customized layouts for each team. It also offers field rules, custom formulas and pipeline templates.

Smaller contact centers will find a lot of benefits from its Basic plan at $29 per month per user. This plan offers call and text, workflow automation, reporting and tracking. But for more customization options like custom reports and dashboards or custom roles, the Pro plan is a better choice ($49 per month per user).

If you want a CRM that puts you in the driver’s seat — and don’t mind spending a decent amount of time setting up all the customization rules and formulas — Salesmate’s two base plans offer a great solution for the price.

  • Highly customizable dashboards and reports.
  • Automation included in base plan.
  • User-friendly interface.
  • More expensive than some.
  • Base plan doesn’t include custom reports or dashboards.
  • Shorter free trial than some.

Designed for customer service

Zendesk sell.

Zendesk Sell

While other CRMs on this list offer a generic CRM for all types of businesses, Zendesk offers two pathways for customer service teams to choose from: a CRM designed to be used by sales teams and one designed specifically for support teams called Zendesk Suite. Depending on how your contact center functions, one or the other may be a better fit.

Zendesk Sell plans start at $25 per month per user, while Zendesk Suite starts at $69 per month per user. At that price, the Sell plan offers the core of what a contact center CRM should, including call tracking and recording and text messages.

But if you want to take your services up a notch (and have the budget for it), the Zendesk Suite plans expand into more service-specific niches like email, chat, voice, social messaging, ticketing systems, a chatbot system and help desk features. If these are features you may have paid for otherwise through an add-on or third party, using a Suite plan can simplify the process in one place.

  • Sales and service plans available.
  • Offers chatbot, help desk and ticketing technology.
  • Includes call tracking and recording in all plans.
  • 24/7 support only available as add-on.
  • May be too comprehensive for some companies.

Multiple plan options

Microsoft dynamics crm.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM

Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a set of accounting and sales software, which includes the Dynamics CRM. Its CRM product list is vast, including a variety of products for different types of customers. For a contact center, four of its products match a customer’s need: Business Central Essentials (starting at $70 per user per month), Business Central Premium (starting at $70 per user per month), Customer Service Professional (starting at $50 per user per month) and Sales Professional (starting at $65 per user per month).

Each plan offers its own benefits and features, depending on what you want out of a CRM. For example, the Central plans combine finance, sales, service and operations into one ERP tool, while the Sales plans operate more like a sales-based CRM with AI, automation and data insights.

There’s a reason why Microsoft is such a giant in the industry, although its complex (and sometimes complicated) solutions may be too much for some businesses. You can try it out yourself to see if it works for your needs with a free 30-day trial.

  • Highly recognizable name in the industry.
  • Wide variety of plan options and types.
  • Nearly endless array of features.
  • Expensive starting plans.
  • May be too complex for a lot of businesses.
  • Somewhat confusing breakdown of products.

Ample marketing services

Agile CRM

Agile CRM sells four plans, including one free plan. Its paid plans start at $14.99 per user per month, which is affordable compared to others on this list. While free always sounds nice, its free plan isn’t a good fit for most contact centers as it doesn’t include telephone services like two-way calls, call recording or voicemails and can only handle 1,000 contacts.

Its paid plans cover quite a bit of ground for the price, especially its Regular plan at $49.99 per user per month. It includes telephone services – although still no call recording or voicemail – and expands features to include social media monitoring, email marketing, a knowledge base and over 50 integrations.

Most of its plans — including free — are packed with unique marketing features, setting Agile CRM apart from the competition. In addition to email services, the Regular plan includes marketing automation, ten campaign workflows, 5,000 branded emails and a landing page builder. So, if you want a CRM that handles more than just calls, Agile CRM is a good solution for the price.

  • Expanded marketing services included in all plans.
  • Offers a free plan.
  • Phone support available on all free plans.
  • Free plan won’t work for most contact centers.
  • Telephone services only included in higher tiers.
  • Reviews mention trouble with cancellation.

Easy team collaboration

Monday.com

Monday.com, a well-known project management platform , sells a customizable CRM starting at $15 per user per month. While the CRM is designed for sales teams, contact centers can choose from some of its customization features like account and contact management, status reports, personalized email templates and custom dashboards to tailor it to their needs.

The most significant benefit of Monday.com is its history of collaboration. As a project management software, it has perfected the art of working together as a team — which is often needed within a contact center. This includes collaboration across unlimited documents, customizable pipelines and contacts.

Plus, its Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans offer automation features like task generation, email composition, content summarization and formula building to expedite work. With these plans, you can install integrations, like Aircall for click-to-call or Mailchimp for email, to customize your plan (although these may incur additional costs).

  • Over 250 integrations.
  • Unlimited contacts and customizable pipelines on all plans.
  • 200+ CRM templates to choose from.
  • Limited reporting options for most plans.
  • Integrations only available for Standard, Pro and Enterprise plans.
  • Most contact center-specific tools are integrations only.
  • Only one-week activity log in Basic plan.

Best automation CRM

Freshsales

Freshsales CRM from Freshworks is packed with automation features, ranging from automated workflows to automatic profile enrichment. We especially like the sales sequences, which include automated touchpoints and prospect definitions. These automation features help reduce redundant tasks and enhance critical information for your team.

These tools are included in its paid plans, which start at $18 per user per month, although the higher up in tier you go (and in price), the more automation features you get. Freshsales also has a free plan for up to three users, although none of the automation features are included.

And while Freshsales has a ton of optional integrations, email, chat and phone are built into the software, meaning no additional fees or complicated installations. But, the breakdown of plans isn’t as straightforward as some of the competitors, so it may take some time to find the right one for your business.

  • Built-in email, chat and phone.
  • Large integration marketplace.
  • Many automation features included in lower-tiered plans.
  • Confusing plan breakdown.
  • Custom modules only available on Enterprise plan.

Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM sells four CRM plans, plus two other custom CRM products called Bigin and Zoho Desk, to give customers more options for finding a plan that works for them. Bigin is especially very affordable if you only need a telephone, email and contact records.

But if you want more bang for your buck, the traditional Zoho CRM plans offer features like sales automation, dashboard customizations and marketing automation, starting at $20 per month per user. And if you can’t figure out which plan is best for you, simply take its free Edition Selector quiz.

Zoho also offers “Lite” users for just $15 (Enterprise and Ultimate plans only), which allows access to features like analytics, contacts and other limited options. For contact centers with many employees who don’t need to provide full access to everyone, this can be a great way to stay on budget without forgoing users completely.

  • Ability to add lite users for $15 per month.
  • Six total CRM solutions to choose from.
  • Selector quiz to help find the right plan.
  • 24/7 support only available with Premium Support plan.
  • May be too many options for some customers.
  • Zoho CRM traditional plans require add-ons for contact center features.

Outstanding social CRM

Nimble CRM

If your contact center operates exclusively or frequently within the social world, Nimble CRM is a great option. It offers unique features like social profile matching and enrichment, social media extensions and Outlook and Gmail integrations. These features help build more detailed customer contact cards automatically on your employee’s behalf.

Nimble only offers one plan and doesn’t include telephone, which may be a drawback for some businesses. But at $29.90 per user, the cost to add a telephone integration with features like click-to-call may be worth the cost — especially if social CRM is appealing to you.

  • Multiple types of reports available.
  • Unique approach to social CRM and contact enrichment.
  • Seamless integration with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
  • No 24/7 customer support.
  • Telephone only available as an integration.
  • Only one plan to choose from.

Best for small teams

HubSpot

For smaller businesses, Hubspot’s Sales Hub CRM plans are a good choice. While its business and enterprise plans can reach upwards of $1,500 per month per user, the Sales Hub plans start at a much lower price: free. This plan includes email tracking, reporting dashboards, contact management and email integrations.

Its Sales Hub Starter plan is $20 per month per user and includes more email features like templates and tracking domains, 500 calling minutes, automated to-do lists and automatic conversation routing.

It doesn’t offer as many customization features or unique products as some of its competitors, but both its free and Starter Hub plans are very generous in terms of what’s included in the price. And most smaller businesses will find the feature list to fit most of their basic needs.

  • Generous free CRM plan.
  • Low-cost starter plan with many features.
  • Includes many marketing tools.
  • Gets expensive very quickly.
  • Not as customizable as some competitors.

Methodology

We extensively research the key competitors within an industry to determine the best products and services for your business. Our experts identify the factors that matter most to business owners, including pricing, features and customer support, to ensure that our recommendations offer well-rounded products that will meet the needs of various small businesses.

We collect extensive data to narrow our best list to reputable, easy-to-use products with stand-out features at a reasonable price point. And we look at user reviews to ensure that business owners like you are satisfied with our top picks’ services. We use the same rubric to assess companies within a particular space so you can confidently follow our blueprint to the best contact center CRM of 2024.

Contact centers should choose a CRM that offers tools such as a pipeline management dashboard, analytics and reports, document management libraries and an open AI and developer library. CRMs for contact centers should also offer the ability to generate quotes and estimates for customers, manage team members, set up sales territories and see sales forecasting and projections.

Most importantly for contact center employees, your CRM should have call routing, call recording, an auto dial feature, a call list transfer feature and call reporting analytics.

What is a contact center CRM and how does it work?

A contact center handles customer service. A customer relationship management (CRM) system is an organizational tool that manages, organizes and optimizes customer information. Unlike a traditional CRM that focuses on every stage of a customer’s journey, a contact center CRM focuses on services offered within the center itself, like:

  • Call routing.
  • Agent productivity.
  • Automated prompts.
  • Call recordings.

By storing customer data in a centralized software like a CRM, contact center employees from all regions, facilities and levels of an organization can access the same information about an employee to help offer more impactful and customized service.

Benefits of a CRM

A CRM offers a lot of benefits to all types of businesses, especially contact centers. Here are a few of the key advantages of implementing a CRM. 

  • Better customer service. By compiling important information all in one place, every level of a contact center can access, review and utilize customer data — in hopes of improved first-call resolution (FCR). 
  • Streamlined operations. Without a centralized location, your contact center reps will have to spend time tracking down customer information from different departments and silos. Compiling it all in one system negates that need.
  • Improved outcomes. Ideally, when you provide better customer service, you should see increased sales. 
  • Data-driven decision. Without all the data, your contact center team will experience information gaps that can make the difference between a happy customer and a former one. 
  • Lower operating costs. A properly-utilized contact center CRM can reduce the resources you need to manage customer interactions. It also may help streamline or reduce reliability on third-party solutions that cost more, like telecom hardware. 

How to choose the best contact center CRM

Choosing the best CRM depends on the complexity of your operations. Some teams need cross-department functionalities and AI integrations, while others simply seek a way to organize customer information.

Consider what factors will help your contact center operate to its highest potential, and then look for a CRM that offers what you need within your budget.

Key features to look for

CRMs can vary significantly in features. But in general, these are the key features that most contact centers will benefit from. 

  • Omnichannel contact tracking. Track, record and notate conversations across multiple apps, channels or social media platforms to ensure nothing gets lost in translation.
  • Click to call. Directly call contacts from their contact card to save time and effort while reducing misdials. 
  • Automatic call distribution (ACD). Direct incoming calls to the best-fitting available agent through criteria like language capabilities and experience level. 
  • Workflow automation. From interactive voice response (IVR) to automated routine tasks, automation can help reduce manual redundancies to improve employee efficiency. 
  • Integrated knowledge base. A contact center with a knowledge base can help your team do its job better with features like scripted responses or easily searchable FAQs. 
  • Reporting capabilities. By tracking information like average talk time or queue delay, your CRM can help your team make better decisions about things like hiring, onboarding and training. 

Add-ons and extras 

Now that most CRMs are cloud-based, there’s an endless array of add-ons and extras available at the push of a button. Sometimes, these come at an additional cost, which is important to keep in mind when considering your overall budget. Add-ons can range from basic text messaging capabilities to complex email marketing funnels. 

If your team has some unique and cross-department functions, look for a contact center CRM that offers an abundance of add-ons.

UX and ease of use

CRMs can be pretty complex and overarching, depending on the size and scope of your contact center. To ensure everyone at every level of your organization can utilize the CRM to its fullest potential, look for a system that’s easy to navigate and use. 

Some key features to look for that can indicate a good UX include:

  • Customizable dashboards.
  • Search function.
  • Simple contact cards.
  • Limited extra steps.

Software integrations

Integrations are a critical component of the success of your CRM implementation. Your contact center likely already utilizes several third-party products in its day-to-day operations. 

To avoid a massive overhaul of your systems and information and prevent the loss of customer data in the transition process, find a CRM that seamlessly integrates into the products you already use. A few popular integrations include:

  • Google Workspace.
  • Microsoft 365.

How much does a contact center CRM cost?

A contact center CRM typically costs between $0 and $149 per monthly user. Most companies charge either per user or by number of required users, as contact centers can vary significantly in terms of size and capacity.

Paying per user rather than a set price for a bulk number of users will give you more flexibility in your pricing and ensure you don’t overpay for users you don’t need.

Features are also essential to consider when comparing prices. Some CRMs are just glorified online notebooks, while others offer complex, multi-functional solutions that can help reduce costs in other areas of your business, like marketing or sales. So when comparing prices, don’t just look at the dollar amount — look at the overall ROI.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

The best CRM for a call center depends on what you’re looking for out of a solution. If the lowest total cost is your top priority, we recommend a free plan from either Bitrix 24 or Freshsales or a paid plan from Agile CRM or Monday.com (both around $15 per month). But if you want something that can better optimize your team’s capabilities and have the budget for it, consider Zendesk Suite or Zoho CRM.

Contact management is a small part of what a CRM offers. For a call center, contact management is often the most essential function of a CRM, with features like contact tracing and communication management, but the software’s capabilities can extend far beyond contact management into areas like marketing, sales and service management.

eBook The Advocate Marketing Playbook The Advocate Marketing Playbook provides marketers with a blueprint from which to build and manage a successful advocate marketing program. It’s a… Download eBook

There are so many ways to identify and nurture advocates that sometimes you might miss the easy wins right under your nose.

When your customers are in town for a vacation, conference, or business meeting, why not invite them to visit your office?

Customer visits are a great way to deepen relationships with your advocates, as well as promote your advocate marketing program internally.

They can range in time commitment from simply taking a customer out for lunch to developing an agenda for a full-day visit.

Crafting the perfect customer visit

One way to maximize the benefit of the visit is to ask the customer to do a 30-minute session with your employees.

Think about it: not everybody in your organization gets to meet customers and learn about what they are doing with your product. Hearing it right from the customer can be invaluable, especially for product or marketing teams who aren’t in customer-facing roles.

Customers are usually eager and happy to give something in return for you providing some training, or setting up meetings with the product team, executives, and/or their CSM. Plus, having them do a presentation is a great way to see how well a customer presents with an eye towards upcoming User Groups or conference presentations.

We keep these meeting very short and informal to keep the pressure low, with about 20 minutes of presentation followed by Q&A. Slides are not necessary and we assure them that there’s no pressure to record or use their content for marketing. At Crimson Hexagon , we have found that the larger the license, the lower the likelihood that a company will approve public acts of advocacy. However, we do find that many customers are thrilled to share their stories publicly, and there have been many presentations that have led to published case studies.

How to get customers to sign up for a visit

The opportunity for customer visits is promoted formally in our customer newsletter, and plugged informally in conversations with Customer Success Managers. The customer may just happen to mention they are coming to Boston, and our advocate marketing team takes the weight off of the CSM by managing the details. Another way to make your advocates aware of this opportunity would be to simply make it a challenge in your Hub .

Once we’ve identified an interested customer, we do the following:

  • Get on a call with the customer and their CSM to develop an agenda and lock down the details
  • Have our advocate marketing team book the room, invite the right people to the meeting, and order lunch
  • Plan ways to make the advocate feel special the day of, like updating the Welcome Screen in our lobby to greet them

If there is also going to be a presentation, we also:

  • Determine who the best person is to introduce our guest
  • Make sure an Executive says hello and is in the audience
  • Send an invite to all employees (including remote), along with a day-of reminder

Why customer visits benefit your advocates and your company

We have had great success with customer visits from Fortune 100 companies, agencies, government, and non-profits. A customer visit program is a great way to raise advocacy’s profile within your organization . It also creates an opportunity to talk about other advocacy opportunities with the customer, such as having them speaking at events , creating content , being involved in a case study , etc.

The benefits from the advocate’s perspective are that it makes them feel special, provides them with an audience for their thought leadership, and strengthens their bond with your company.

Recently, Michael Cornfield , a professor of political science at George Washington University visited our office and told us about his meeting with his CSMs.

Michael Cornfield

What our advocate marketing team finds rewarding is that colleagues across all departments attendm and we get lots of positive comments from employees, especially from finance, HR, and engineering. Our goal is to host two to three of these customer visits per quarter.

If I had a wish, it would be that a few times a year we were able to invite and cover the costs of having a strategic customer come to Boston for a customer visit. It’s getting close to budget time, and I will definitely add it to my 2018 plan.

Visitor Center Design with Dimensional Innovations

Designing a visitor center starts with understanding why customers would be visiting your place. Transforming your visitor center starts with our team listening to your explanation of your business, desires, and needs. As we learn about your company or institution, we can start to develop a plan.

Visitor centers can be found in corporate headquarters, museums, on college campuses, and more. For this reason, it can be difficult to determine just what a visitor’s center needs to make an impact on its guests. With experience in many different industries, we can discern just what each unique project will entail.

With each project, we aim to help you build personal connections with your visitors. While you want to provide information to each guest, a visitor center is about so much more than just education. By touching each visitor on an emotional level, you are likely to gain life-long customers.

Since the goals of visitors’ centers can range greatly, every project will require different things. For example, a corporate visitors’ center will be much different from one on a college campus. One is targeting potential college students and college sports fans. The other is going to be geared toward professionals visiting a corporate headquarters. Our team knows how to determine just what your project needs.

Our previous work includes projects with large-scale graphics, interactive elements, custom signage and wayfinding, and so much more. With each project, we aim to bring exciting entertainment and new knowledge to each guest. How we do that is up to our client.

Since every project is unique, we have developed so many different types of pieces for our visitor center clients. One of our favorite projects was the visitor’s center at Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City. This project aimed to pay tribute to the company’s history while reflecting on the local KC scene. Dimensional Innovations worked with other local companies to create a visitor center that is full of KC’s beer brewing history and interactive educational displays that help explain how beer is made and all the ingredients needed to create beer.

We helped Boulevard Brewery come up with unique ways to engage their visitors. For example, in the “Barrel Aging” display, guests can learn about the fermentation process by looking inside wine and whiskey barrels. Walls of graphics explain different types of beer, key ingredients in beer, and so much more! DI also created the signage throughout.
