Once you've acquired a new customer, it's important to ensure you retain this customer to achieve continued revenue. As we all know, it's typically more expensive to win over a new customer than to retain an existing one.
To help you deliver high-quality, post-sale service, you can use the CRM Knowledge Base. This should act as a self-serve library of information about your products and services. The CRM Knowledge Base can be particularly helpful if you regularly deal with technical issues for example, if the solution is documented, others can reference back to this, enabling people in your business to quickly resolve similar issues in the future.
