Step 1 - Create a better overview with categorisation
Categorise your contacts according to their common interests in the project. For example, it could be the following groupings:
- Customers
- Suppliers
- Customers’ partners
- Internal stakeholders
Maybe you can expand the list even further?
This makes your data work far more efficient and manageable.
Step 2 - Define the relevant data once and for all
Define which areas of the project your categories really need – and also which they do not.
It will often be the very same documentation and data that you send to your business partners – so why not just give them access to constantly updated data?
And here, we are talking about all types of data - including:
- Documentation
- Milestones & deadline status
- Budget & invoices
- Contact information on relevant key people internally
- The original offer
- Project specifications
That way, you avoid getting stuck in the role of gatekeeper of central data and knowledge.
Step 3 – Put the information sharing on “auto”
Choose a platform that automates the sharing of the information you have defined in step 2 - and exposes this data to the right category of contacts.
How? It is very simple. Orbit’s Contact Management software does it all for you. A CRM is not only targeted for use in the sales department. With the right tool, customer data can also create crucial value for your entire business.
