Build systems for servicing leads and customers
Investing in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software is very beneficial. It will keep track of prospect inquiries, assist with answers to common questions, keep you on track with scheduled touch points, and make sure no lead goes unanswered.
Did you know that, on average, it takes more than three hours for an agent to respond to a lead? Imagine how many new clients you could land if you had a system that helped you communicate with prospects quickly, effectively, and without having to keep track of data in various locations.
The company (Tecno) started in 2006 in Hong Kong with its first research and development Centre in Shanghai, China. For two years, the business focused on the South Asia market. After studying the markets in South East Asia, Africa, and Latin America,
The Company found out that Africa would be the most lucrative market. They began operations in 2008 before eventually stopping business in Asia to exclusively focus on Africa. Today, Tecno does business in Africa only. The company wants to be the mobile king of Africa. The continent receives a lot of imports but the products are not always modeled to fit demand in Africa, telling you that the company has built a strong brand in Africa.
Building your brand is all about communicating your unique value proposition via appropriate channels. What is the best service or attribute you can offer your clients? And what’s the best way to communicate this messaging to prospective clients? Always make it about your audience—what can you do for them?
