In the past, Haiwei Machinery, a mechanical parts export enterprise, faced significant challenges in its traditional management mode.
With over 2000 customer information scattered across Excel, emails, and WhatsApp, it was a common occurrence for departing sales staff to take valuable customer data with them. Moreover, 60% of the customers in the public pool were idle, and the repeated order - hitting situation led to internal team strife. The order - hitting rate was as high as 20%, causing a great deal of inefficiency and internal conflict.
On average, sales representatives spent 3 hours a day organizing customer data, leaving less than 2 hours for effective customer development. The open rate of email development letters was only 5%, and the cost of customer acquisition through social media was as high as $80 per lead. This low - efficiency development model severely restricted the company's growth.
Relying on manual statistics of order data, the company missed the booming period of the South American market and ended up with an inventory backlog of $500,000. This lack of data - driven decision - making led to significant financial losses.
To address these issues, Haiwei Machinery introduced the AB客 CRM system, which brought about a series of positive changes.
The public pool was activated, with idle customers automatically recycled. The order - hitting reminder function completely eliminated the order - hitting problem, reducing the order - hitting rate from 20% to 0. Through the integration of multiple platforms, WhatsApp chat records and customs bill of lading data could be imported with a single click. In just 3 days, more than 2000 customers were identified and followed up, thanks to AB客 CRM's ability to centralize and manage customer information effectively.
Using the customs data function of AB客 CRM, by inputting the HS code of "hydraulic valve", the company was able to target buyers in Brazil and Mexico. It exported 500 highly active customer leads. The AI - powered social media customer acquisition feature automatically grabbed the dynamics of target customers on LinkedIn and generated personalized development letters. As a result, the open rate of development letters increased from 5% to 28%, forming a powerful customs data + AI customer acquisition closed - loop.
The system automatically marked high - value customers based on criteria such as "purchase frequency > 3 times a year" and "budget > $100,000". The email marketing robot sent emails at multiple time - zones automatically and tracked the open rate. In just half a year, the customer acquisition cost decreased by 65%, from $80 per lead to $28 per lead, greatly improving the efficiency of the sales process.
The profit dashboard automatically calculated the customer contribution rate. The company cut 20% of low - profit orders and focused on the high - net - worth European market. The inventory warning function predicted the demand in South America based on order trends, avoiding a potential loss of $300,000 by pre - stocking.
After implementing the AB客 CRM system, Haiwei Machinery achieved remarkable results.
The customer development cycle was shortened from 90 days to 21 days, and the average number of customers per salesperson increased by 3 times. This significant improvement in efficiency allowed the company to serve more customers in a shorter time.
The proportion of high - net - worth customers increased from 15% to 40%, and the annual profit margin increased by 45%. The company's financial performance improved significantly, demonstrating the effectiveness of the CRM system.
With data encryption and automatic recycling of customer data from departing employees, the customer loss rate decreased by 70%. This ensured the stability of the company's customer base and reduced business risks.
