Redtail’s Training Team puts together these “How to Handle” posts in order to make you aware of some of the ways you might use Redtail CRM to assist with processes, events, etc., that are likely to come up for most offices at one point or another.

This one will focus on how you can use Redtail CRM to track and reward client loyalty. For each step in the directions, we’ll provide relevant links from our helpdesk as well as images or gifs to give you a better idea of what the process looks like within Redtail.

Observation:

It’s often said the cost for attracting a new client is five times that of retaining an existing client. With this in mind, what is your office doing to reward client loyalty? By using the CRM to track these loyal clients, we can start rewarding them in a manner commensurate to the value they bring to our business.

Directions:

1. Populate the ‘Client Since’ field, Marital Anniversary Date, and DOB for each of your Active Clients.
