Features You (Business Owner) Will Love

Learn about all the ways the 1CRM Customer Connection WordPress Portal can help your business run more smoothly while increasing customer loyalty!

Lower Support Costs

Instead of manually calling & emailing customers with basic information, enable them to find it themselves! Most prefer it that way, and it saves you countless hours of support costs. From knowledge base articles, to support cases, past invoices, quotes, etc .. your clients have lots of resources available 24/7.

Boost Customer Retention

New customers are expensive to acquire, and long-time customers can be your biggest cheerleaders. The portal meets the needs of your customers, making your service even more sticky, so that they will be singing your praises, instead of finding someone new.

Centralized Customer Data

The portal is linked to 1CRM in real-time, so all the info your employees or your customers see is right there, and up to date. This keeps errors to a minimum as data only needs to be entered once, and your existing 1CRM platform supports all the data requirements and data backup needs of your portal.

2-in-1 WordPress Website

Enable your existing WordPress company website to double as a self-service customer portal. Instead of clients being re-directed to another URL to receive support, they will stay on your website. This makes it easy for them to do business with you, exposes them to all your content & products/services, and helps grow your website traffic.

How Professional!

Customers love it when it’s easy to find the answers and resources they need and don’t encounter roadblocks along the way. It exudes an air of professionalism generally associated with larger companies. Provide excellent customer service 24/7 with minimal effort using the 1CRM Customer Connection portal!

Flexibility

This plugin uses shortcodes to add amazing new features to your website and that means you can place them anywhere! Create a specific Help section, or dot features like cases and subscription management throughout different pages on your website – whatever makes sense for your business!

Next Steps

The 1CRM Customer Connection portal includes an integration with the WordPress plugin: Booking Calendar. This plugin enables website visitors to book and pay for:

  • Accommodations (bed & breakfast, cottages, hotel rooms, houses, apartments etc).
  • Equipment rentals (cars, bikes, computers, technics, pools, etc).
  • Client scheduling (photographers, lawyers, beauty salons, spas, massage therapists).
  • Meeting scheduling (coaching, phone advice).
  • Event scheduling (conference, course, fitness centre, yoga class, gym).
  • Patient scheduling (doctor, dentists, clinic, medical).
  • Or any other service, where can be done reservation for specific day(s).

Note: We recommend the Business Small or Medium paid edition of this plugin. Once you have installed and configured the plugin within wordpress (see video here), click on the Booking Calendar option in the 1CRM Customer Connection menu to enable Booking Calendar sync with 1CRM.

After you have enabled the synchronization with the Booking Calendar plugin, appointments in the plugin will be synchronized into 1CRM as Meetings with the Booking Appointment checkbox enabled. In addition, any new Contact or Account information will also be synchronized into 1CRM, and any Invoices created. All of these items will also be linked to each other, to make it easy to use and understand your CRM.

  • Within 1CRM, the Meetings list view screen has a filter for Bookings Only. Click this to show only Booked Appointments on the Meetings list view.
  • On the 1CRM Calendar, using the Day, Week, or Month tabs, and the Activities mode, you have a checkbox for Bookings, which will enable you to see just the Meetings which are Booking Appointments on your calendar.
  • Resources created within the Booking Calendar plugin are created automatically within 1CRM if they do not already exist there.
