CRM Road Trip
Avaya Inc., a global provider of communications solutions and services, is taking the show on the road. In conjunction with Siebel Systems, Arthur Andersen, PriceWaterhouseCoopers and EDS, Avaya has launched a seminar series that focuses on customer relationship management (CRM) and will reach 18 cities across North America. The seminar is designed to help executives in any industry understand CRM and learn how to leverage technology in enterprise-wide strategy for success in a customer-focused economy.
“Customer expectations are rising and dynamic,” said Keith Larson, Avaya vice president, CRM Solutions. “Customers want an exact fit to their requirements — from the ability to communicate in their preferred medium through the efficient, accurate delivery of the commitment made by the business. They want a company to know who they are individually, the nature and status of their particular concern and on-time resolution of outstanding issues. To be successful, companies must implement technologies and processes that support the customer from the first interaction through fulfillment — and which help generate opportunity in the next engagement with the customer.”
The free half-day seminar will focus on timely CRM issues, such as: increasing customer loyalty and satisfaction while enhancing your competitive edge; identifying who will benefit the most from your CRM implementations; how CRM solutions can increase employee productivity; justification, planning and implementing customer relationship initiatives; and examples of CRM return on investment.
