Financial firms operate in a volatile environment. Client\u2019s needs change, markets shift, new regulations are born every year and so on. To stay ahead, banks, insurers, wealth managers and other fintech firms need to have an access to clear and timely information and execution. They need Real time insights instead of outdated data or juggling multiple spreadsheets.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where salesforce<\/a> makes a massive impact. With tools and applications such as salesforce financial services cloud, salesforce order management and more, financial firms can see vital data as it happens. This enables great insights leading to faster and easier decision making. Salesforce Financial Services CRM<\/a> connects the three critical wings of financial operations\u2014pre-sales, sales, and post-sales\u2014streamlining processes and simplifying workflows in the fintech space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we will walk through each of these phases and understand how salesforce makes things lot easier and effective. We will also have a look at the diverse range of tools and applications in salesforce that cater to different needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning Marketing Leads into Sales Opportunities (Pre-Sales Phase)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Customer Segmentation <\/strong>\u2013 Segmentation of the audience lays the foundation for targeting the right customers. Salesforce Marketing Cloud allows you to segment different types of customers, such as retail banking clients, small business borrowers, wealth management prospects, and more, using demographic, behavioural, and lifecycle data. This approach allows tailored messaging for each segment based on financial needs, risk appetite, and eligibility, leading to lower acquisition costs and stronger campaign engagement and performance. 
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Email Marketing & Automation –<\/strong> By implementing Customer Segmentation alongside Personalised Email Marketing and Automation, organisations are able to deliver highly relevant, timely communication throughout the customer journey. The combined impact of these capabilities leads to more relevant campaigns, a lower cost per qualified lead, stronger conversion from initial enquiry to sales-ready opportunities, and faster, more efficient lead nurturing across all stages of the funnel.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Lead Capture & Management <\/strong>\u2013 Capturing leads ensures potential customers are identified and tracked from the start. The sales cloud captures relevant fintech leads from online applications, website forms, financial advisory sign-ups, etc. Each lead comes with rich contextual information, including origin, past interactions, product preferences, and indicators of readiness, providing sales teams with clear insights before they make contact. This allows sales teams to spend less time qualifying leads and achieve faster conversions. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Lead Scoring & Qualification <\/strong>\u2013 In a competitive space like fintech, prioritizing leads helps focus on the most promising opportunities. The Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (MCAE) formerly known as Pardot, helps prioritize high-value fintech clients. It scores leads automatically based on engagement, product interest, and eligibility. As a result, sales teams spend less time on unqualified leads, allowing them to focus on high-potential prospects and ultimately improving overall pipeline efficiency. 
      <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2.  Handoff from Marketing to Sales <\/strong>\u2013 Smoothly transferring leads ensures effective engagement by the sales team. The MCAE integration provides a smooth transition of leads from marketing to sales. Salesforce provides full real time visibility of each fintech prospect, including interactions and behaviour, so relationship managers can engage them effectively. As a result, lead leakage is minimized, ensuring that every prospect is properly managed and effectively engaged by the sales team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Moving from Conversations to Conversions (Sales Phase)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1.  Account Management (Sales Cloud)<\/strong> \u2013 Managing customer\u2019s accounts is crucial in keeping all the interactions and information organized. The Sales Cloud keeps all customer accounts in one place avoiding messy and scattered data. Salesforce for financial services allows individuals and firms to track loans, investment portfolios, and banking relationships, giving your team a complete visibility of every client. 
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Price & Discount Management – <\/strong>Effective pricing and discount configuration is critical to ensuring accurate and competitive deals. Gaps in pricing information often lead to repeated revisions of configurations and quotes, wasting time for both sales teams and buyers and potentially impacting customer confidence. With Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA), pricing, discounts, and incentives can be centrally managed and automated. RCA enables the configuration of personalized pricing models\u2014such as customer-specific rates, fees, or promotional offers\u2014based on predefined rules and eligibility criteria. This automation reduces manual errors, streamlines the quoting process, and accelerates deal closure while maintaining consistency and compliance across all revenue transactions.
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Contact Management <\/strong>\u2013 Tracking contacts allows for personalized communication with decision-makers. The Sales Cloud stores and organizes all client information. In fintech, this ensures you can track individuals and businesses while meeting KYC and AML compliance requirements. Every interaction with a contact can be tracked and linked to follow-up actions and reminders. It uses a single, shareable database, thus eliminating confusion and keeping everyone automatically on the same page. 
        <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Tasks & Follow-up Automation <\/strong>\u2013 Automating workflow helps to take timely actions and not missing any opportunity. Salesforce\u2019s Flow and automation tool automates reminders and next steps for sales reps. Salesforce ensures timely follow-ups for loan approvals, account upgrades, or investment offers, improving customer engagement and increasing the chances for a lead to convert.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Closing & Win Tracking <\/strong>\u2013 Tracking wins and losses helps evaluate sales performance and improve plans. The Sales Cloud Opportunity Management & Reports tracks when deals are won or lost. It gives a real time visibility into account openings, loans funded, or fintech product subscriptions, helping teams analyse performance and change or enhance strategies if needed.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Keeping Customers Engaged and Expanding Opportunities\u00a0(Post Sales Phase)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Customer Onboarding <\/strong>\u2013    A seamless onboarding process lays the foundation for lasting relationships. Onboarding guides new customers to start using products and services successfully. Here salesforce can help fintech companies create an effortless start for new clients. Experience Cloud can connect customers, partners, and employees, while Service Cloud centralizes support across channels for faster assistance. Flow automates KYC verification, welcome emails, and portal access, providing real-time visibility and a smooth, engaging onboarding experience. 
            <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Order Management<\/strong> \u2013 Managing orders ensures products and services are delivered correctly without any mismatch. Salesforce Order Management can help with tracking orders for fintech products like loans, insurance policies, or investment plans. Salesforce ensures every product is accurately recorded and delivered on time thus making it a preferred choice as a financial services CRM.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
