CRM connector for Salesforce

Solutions for sales and services

Whether you sell to businesses, consumers or both, you have multiple customer touchpoints throughout the customer lifecycle. Integrating your VoC program with your CRM system enables you to optimize all these different touchpoints, from both your customers’ and your business perspectives.

As part of your initial customer on-boarding process, and with every significant Salesforce transaction that follows, initiate a VoC transactional survey to capture feedback on the customer experience.

Select customers from Salesforce for regular relationship feedback, and use Forsta to manage the business rules for distributing the surveys

Trigger surveys after each service interaction, and use business rules in Forsta to generate activities for sales or cases for services to follow up.

Leverage key customer data from Salesforce to deliver contextual information about your customers into your business reporting and executive dashboard

Optimized experience for customers

Don’t frustrate customers by asking questions to which you already know the answer.

By integrating your VoC and CRM solutions, the relevant data is automatically available. This ensures that the survey is targeted to the specific environment of the customer – streamlining the process, and showing that you value them.

Similarly, you can create highly targeted customer lists to enable you to ask very specific, valuable questions. For example, you can focus on resolving localized issues – such as delivery problems that affected only customers who bought a particular product in a single region during a defined period of time –and find out exactly how the situation impacted them, and what you need to do to keep their business in future. Or build lists of customers who are coming to the end of their contract with you, and gain valuable feedback about their intention to renew while you are still able to impact that decision.

Optimized experience for business users

There are many different profiles of users for an integrated CRM and VoC solution.

In a B2B environment, along with your VoC team, you will have marketing teams, new business sales and account management teams, and services and support teams all undertaking different forms of customer interaction.

With the enterprise capabilities of Forsta, it isn’t necessary for all users to have access to the CRM system, which can be prohibitively expensive. Forsta users do not need end-user access to the CRM system to pull sales and services information and deliver the required surveys, reports, dashboards and action management programs to fulfill their job function. The flexibility of the integrated solution ensures the right kind of access for different business users. For example:

Optimized customer interactions

All this requires an enterprise-capable VoC solution that is tightly integrated with a CRM system such as Salesforce.

When users access their business reports, executive dashboards and business applications, they should always see the most up-to-date and relevant customer interaction data, whichever solution they work with. It should also be easy to configure and manage the integration without always having to draw on resources from the VoC software vendor. Forsta CRM Connector for Salesforce delivers all of this, so you can ensure that your customers get the best experiences possible

Solutions for sales and services

CRM Connector for Salesforce provides an easy-to-use setup wizard for mapping the fields in Salesforce to the corresponding data points in Forsta.

The wizard also includes easy configuration of filters to be applied when selecting data from Salesforce to be sent across to Forsta.

The software can be set up to transfer all changed data from Salesforce into Forsta on a regular basis, e.g. once every hour or once a day.

The wizard also allows simple setup to send survey data on a regular basis from Forsta back to Salesforce. Once the survey data has arrived in Salesforce, it can be presented in Salesforce reports combining it with other CRM data, or used to trigger actions to close the loop on customer feedback. Your organization can see and act on the VoC feedback data without leaving their familiar Salesforce CRM environment. This not only saves time, but ensures your teams stay on top of all their latest customer data.
