As a furniture store manager, you want to spend the majority of your time helping customers find beautiful and functional furniture for their homes, not worrying about organization and the finer details of your business. A CRM can help you stay organized, keep track of leads and clients, and streamline your workflow so that you can focus on what you do best. To get off to the best possible start with your new CRM, you’ll want to customize it to suit your needs.
There are many CRM features that there’s no need to customize, but to make the most of your CRM, some features will require a bit more set up. To speed up your CRM set up process, read on for customization ideas that will help you get the best value out of your CRM as a furniture store manager.
Three critical features that you’ll want to customize in your CRM are groups, pipelines, and custom fields. Take a look below for some inspiration for how you can customize these three features as a furniture store manager and make your CRM work for you.
As a furniture store manager, it will be especially important to collect information that helps you track details of a customer’s furniture order.
Pipelines are composed of statuses—each status is step in the process you are tracking. Pipelines consist of both active and closed status. An active status is something that requires follow up or additional work. A closed status tracks the end points of a process.
As a furniture store manager, you can use a pipeline to track your entire process. From the moment a new order is received to furniture delivery day—store all of that information in your pipeline. Take a look at an example pipeline for furniture store managers below.
As a furniture store manager, groups will help you easily have a bird’s eye view of your sales team’s work as well as the status of your suppliers. Take a look at a couple example groups that are perfect for furniture store managers below.
