BCI LEAD MANAGER
The new Lead Manager is no longer just a tool to search for project leads and information. Now, it can help to track sales progress, increase productivity, efficiency and transparency within an organisation.
BCI has an upgraded and easy-to-use dashboard, as well as brand-new customer relationship management (CRM) tools. There are many large organisations that have invested substantial amounts of money in CRM platforms. A CRM system can help to track a team’s activities as well as manage customer and project information in a transparent and organised manner, all within one platform.
The new Lead Manager will keep existing project information and details that are entered by BCI’s team of researchers. As every organisation is different, each company would need their own set of data. That is why BCI has made customisable sales pipeline and client information field for clients, which will allow them to add their own sales-related data to BCI Projects quickly and easily.
