Why Santa Needs CRM?

Whether real or fictional, the character of Santa Claus has a lot to teach us about establishing good relationships. In the spirit of the season, imagine Santa Claus as a business and children as his clients. Within this line of thinking, you will see Santa does quite a few things a good business should do as well. Without fail, every year, Santa Claus has a clear picture regarding which leads to follow up, based on the selection criteria of naughty or nice. His scheduling calendar makes sure that he meets all his appointments on time and can create the most efficient route plan based on those appointments.

Santa’s marketing plan is always perfect, which means that he never wastes his money out of season, promoting products and services that won’t be accepted by customers. He has created a massive loyal customer base that they eventually get in touch with him well in advance of their deadlines to let him know what they are looking for, to ensure he can get it for them on time.

He never fails to meet the tight deadlines; his marketing strategies are so perfect that he can take out time to go out canvassing for new customers in shopping malls and other target places.

Santa Claus has streamlined the “letters to Santa” concept with fast, simple web-to-lead forms in CRM. He can check the “Naughty or Nice” status of key contacts in real-time, anytime and anywhere using Mobile CRM on his phone. In recent times, Santa Claus has also had to make sure his CRM system is completely GDPR compliant, which enables him to store all that naughty/nice information without any risk of being out of business due to non-compliance fines.

Santa is a good listener. Children write letters to the North Pole, make wish lists, and whisper in Santa’s ear at the mall, all in complete faith that their desires will be heard and fulfilled. As a business, wouldn’t you want your clients to have such total confidence in you?
