Ruby on Rails CRM Application combined with Customized Plugins

 

Plugins are added modules, features or functionalities that is joined in with an application to perform certain specific tasks to make the CRM tool way more user-friendly and save time to execute the work effortlessly with technology such as ruby on rails.

Through WakeUpSales, you can achieve this and with its multiple variety of Plugins – it makes it even more powerful. Checkout the WakeUpSales marketplace.

According to the market statistics, not all CRM tools are able to attract users even with lots of modifications in features.

Before you start up with your million-dollar-marketing plan – you should be very clear as, who will be your target customer.

You and your team must be clear as how your SaaS product will help your end users and meet their requirement effectively.

Product level A/B testing is necessary and you need to spend more time on this.

It is always beneficial to create a realistic picture of target customers by collecting various information’s like: profession of users, user’s company details and the problems users are facing in their work place and how your app will solve their problems.

User behaviors, queries, reviews, social feedback and product survey also play an important role in targeting the right customer. 

3. Free Trial and Easy access to Web App

“Free Trial” is the strategy to get more users into your SaaS App - and to get their quality feedback in order to know what users think about your app and how it can be better.
Because at the end – users are the one who will be using it.
You should allow all your advanced features within this trial period;so as the users to feel the real power of your application.
In the meantime – you should be publishing high quality, reliable, educational and informative product content in your blog page.

If you have not created a blog page – create one. It’s very much important.
