Businesses will Double Down on Personalised Customer Engagement

Archana Sinha, Senior Director - Marketing, Salesforce India , 0

The rapid shift to digital engagement has prompted businesses to re-evaluate which channels warrant increased investment. The value of video content, social media and digital advertisements especially has surged, and virtual and hybrid event formats will become permanent fixtures. Beyond managing customer relationship management (CRM) systems, they’re going to need to help organize and make sense of data, automate processes, and measure results.

Customer Experience will Remain a North Star
As we shift from crisis triage to recovery and growth, businesses have a unique opportunity to turn trusted customer relationships into business value. Organisations are increasingly tracking metrics like customer satisfaction, digital engagement, and lifetime customer value to gain a holistic picture of what’s working and what isn’t across the customer journey.

As per insights from the State of Marketing report, 89 percent of customers in India expect companies to understand their unique needs and expectations. To achieve such 1:1 engagement, teams will need instant access to customer data to understand their preferences and other granular information such as location, purchase history, prior brand interactions, and more.

Businesses need to look for a solution that also allows for seamless API integrations with third-party data sources. From a tech perspective, businesses can implement an integrated CRM solution that consolidates all relevant customer data from across the organisation onto a single platform.

The Growing Relevance of Personalization
Personalized, empathetic engagement has never been more important. Delivering messages and offers that resonate with an individual’s unique needs and expectations requires deep insights. Companies are
thinking about how to segment their audience with a particular emphasis on personalizing their 1-1 interactions.

With the world changing and an explosion of customer data available, having a single source of truth shared across the — business — has never been more important. This helps marketers fully understand and empathize with their customers and deliver relevant experiences that build loyalty.

Since the pandemic’s early days, organizations too have ramped up the use of collaboration platforms to digitize workflows and build digital-first teams. Working remotely has changed the way teams collaborate, and boosting efficiency in times of remote collaboration remains a top priority



Customers expect personalized experiences and seamless engagement with the brands they trust. Tailored interactions build customer loyalty. 80 percent of customers say the experience is just as important as the product or service a company provides.

The Benefits of Work-from-Anywhere Mentality
With digital first, the work-from-anywhere world is here to stay, companies must digitize their relationship with the customer — scaling it, modernizing it, and meeting them where they are, all with an empathetic approach to the person behind the screen, app, channel, or device.

As hybrid working becomes the norm, standalone collaboration platforms for instant messaging, emails, content management, project updates, etc. will no longer work. A single, robust collaboration platform that enables seamless and secure real-time communication and information search-share-retrieval is the need of the hour.
