The first goal in the acquisition phase must be deciding which prospects most closely match the profile of an "ideal" prospect. Cherry pick prospects and resist chasing those that don't meet acquisition criteria. Keeping marketing efforts sharply focused will cut costs and increase your CRM return on investment (ROI).
Ongoing assessments of marketing campaigns must be made to determine which are most effective in bringing in new customers. An effective CRM system will assign each contact to a specific marketing campaign, "tagging" the data for continual analysis of marketing ROI and effectiveness in identifying likely prospects. By tracking expenses tied to leads generated, customers acquired, and potential and realized revenue, campaigns can be shaped to individual customers and prospects based on specific responses or effectiveness rates.
The needs and interests of individuals, of course, can be best understood by examining data from individual prospects. But aggregate data can better forecast which groupings or classes of would-be customers respond best to marketing appeals. This broader view can efficiently guide development of products or services to satisfy specific target groups.
