This article will explain exactly what SaaS is and how it can help you sync your sales and support team for the benefit of the wider business and customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Software as a Service?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Put simply, SaaS is an online-based service that can host your servers and databases. The information stored online can be used on any device that is connected to the Internet. You can also control which employee gets access to your data, making for a more secure work environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

SaaS is accessed through a subscription service, which means that you don\u2019t need to install it on specific machines\u2014anyone can access the application so long as you give them access.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that with SaaS, there is no need for expensive hardware or maintenance packages. Which in turn means, you don\u2019t need to hire IT professionals for its maintenance as the same is also done by the service provider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, SaaS solutions are simplified for day-to-day use and don\u2019t require in-depth technical knowledge to operate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just that, SaaS is perfect for businesses with either a completely remote workforce or a mix of remote and office-based workers. The nature of the tool makes it simple for workers all over the world to collaborate through conference calls<\/a>, shared spaces, instant messaging and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Automation tools<\/h2>\n

SaaS<\/a> integrates well with a plethora of automation tools which make following customer journeys simple and ensure that nothing is missed along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, with a VoIP phone system<\/a>, you can use the online portal to set reminders to follow up with customers at certain points in their buying process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You might want to have an initial sales call, and then follow up with your support team calling the customer to see if they have any questions. Alternatively, you could schedule a support call after a customer has made a purchase to see if they need any assistance. With SaaS all of your applications can be connected, so a call can automatically be scheduled into your CRM system and will be visible to any other member of staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

By using automation you can ensure that each and every customer gets the same level of service. Automation also ensures that opportunities are not missed by keeping all your teams on the same page since your system reminds everyone of the tasks they need to complete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use analytics to spot trends<\/h2>\n

The beauty of SaaS is that it allows you access to detailed analytics about your business. With a hosted phone system<\/a>, everything, from call costs to waiting times, is available to you and accessible from anywhere, anytime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SaaS also enables analytical reports on your agents\u2019 behaviour and performance. You can receive scheduled agent performance<\/a> reports on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis directly in your email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These reports help you identify trends and even bottlenecks.\u00a0 And the analytics can be used for better decision-making on everything\u2014from marketing to sales and even customer experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, for instance, you can use the statistics to see exactly where calls are coming from and whether your waiting times are acceptable to customers. Armed with this information, you can put more money into the routes that your calls are most likely to come from to increase conversions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, you can use the information on popular call times to ensure that you have more support staff on hand to resolve queries during busy periods.<\/span><\/p>\n

With SaaS, you can also send automated surveys out after a sales call to get details on customer satisfaction<\/a> and identify any room for improvement. This information can be processed directly into your CRM and you can use the analytics to define training opportunities for staff or give them compliments on great service.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter what type of SaaS solution you are using, you can use the shared information and customer insights to easily build advanced dashboards with relevant information on all aspects of your team\u2019s performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use recordings for training purposes and security<\/h2>\n
