Why Workbooks CRM is ideal for growing your professional services

Sustained client relations

Scaling professional services firms must preserve their quality of service as they take on more clients and staff. By providing a single source of truth, CRM for business services supports high-quality customer service, repeat business and referrals. Keep track of communication preferences, target your marketing and sales efforts, and enable smooth handover between new and departing employees so that staff don’t exit with their clients in tow.

Integration with professional services software

Workbooks is a professional services CRM that connects to a host of software suites used across law, accounting and other client-based industries. As your business develops, our CRM platform can be launched alongside tools in your stack for easy workflow integration. For example, events-based businesses can integrate Workbooks with Zoom, Eventbrite, Evenium and more to pull event information, track leads and handle attendance straight out of the CRM platform.

Insights to drive marketing efforts

As your business establishes itself, it’s not enough to expect your target audience to find you. Instead, intelligent professional services firms leverage CRM to identify and reach the leads most likely to convert. Workbooks supports detailed audience segmentation, helping you to build customer profiles and inform your marketing strategies with knowledge of who your customers are, what they already have, and what they need across all distribution channels.

“Workbooks has given us totally new levels of visibility, allowing us to have a genuinely real-time understanding of our business."
