    Common Issues
    Between Sales & Service
    9
    Handoff Points
    • Ask this:
    When a prospect is ready
    to sign-up, how are they
    onboarded?
    • Instead of:
    What is your sales cycle?
    Closing the Loop
    • Ask this:
    How are your customers
    notified about product or
    service updates?
    • Instead of:
    How does your marketing
    team run a campaign?
    Staying Connected
    • Ask this:
    What happens when a
    customer needs technical
    support during a trial
    process?
    • Instead of:
    What do you use to
    service your customers?

    • Manual or poorly-designed processes
    for handoffs, leading to
    miscommunication and unresolved
    cases
    • You have properly designed
    processes, but the user adoption is
    minimal
    • Your employees have no way of
    communicating feedback
    #1: Poorly Orchestrated Organizational Handoffs
    Solution
    11
    SugarBPM enables you to automate your handoff workflows.
    Effortlessly map out your customer journey, from the very first
    interaction, with the Customer Journey Plug-In.

    • Chat/SMS and self-service are taking
    over phone and email support, and
    B2Bs are struggling to catch up
    • Separate communication channels
    and platforms, leading to siloed
    conversations, team misalignment,
    and frustrated customers
    • There is no clear process for closing
    the loop with customers reporting
    errors
    #2: Disjointed Customer Communication
    SugarLive enables Sell and Serve users to interact with
    customers in real-time via voice and chat messaging.
    Solution

    • Your sales teams uses a traditional
    CRM, while the service team has a
    separate customer support platform
    • Your sales and service teams do not
    have a single view of the customer
    • Your processes do not have a single
    location to identify customers at risk
    • Sales and service don’t have a unified
    customer view and have no way of
    seeing the customer’s history
    #3: Silos within Departments, Processes & People
    Sell and Serve are hosted on the same Sugar platform,
    ensuring tight collaboration and processes between your
    sales and service teams.
    Solution

    • Sales and service teams track their
    performance and goals in
    spreadsheets or siloed software
    • You have departmental KPIs that you
    are struggling to manage, in addition
    to CX KPIs
    • How do you create programs that
    drive improvements of both your
    departmental and CX KPIs?
    #4: Disconnected Goals & KPIs
    Powerful Case Tracking & Dashboards
    Identify problem areas long before they become full-blown issues
    with powerful case tracking and dashboards. Quickly uncover which
    types of support cases require the most attention and gain valuable
    insight into trends and time-to-response.

    • Sales and service teams have data in
    many different systems, but no way of
    bringing all of it in one place
    • Integration costs increase with the
    number of systems that you integrate to
    • You must rely on the IT department to
    build new integrations
    #5: Unsupported Technology
    Sugar Integrate helps you plug any siloed data by integrating
    your existing software with Sell and Serve.

    • Do you have tactics for identifying and rescuing at-risk
    customers?
    • Can you leverage the relationships your customers have for
    cross-selling?
    • Are account managers notified when a customer submits a high
    priority issue or has a past due bill?
    • What happens after a prospect becomes a customer? What
    happens when a prospect has a support issue?
    • Is the support team able to pass leads to sales? Can support
    cases be routed differently based on active opportunities or
    account status?
    • How can sales and service work together to minimize churn /
    unhappy customers?
    • Are there administrative tasks for sales that can be automated or
    streamlined with self-service?
