Case Study

TTM and VCL

The Company

TTM Group is made of two organisations: TTM Associates and VCL Solutions. TTM Associates is a global consulting firm, seeking to Humanise the Digital Experience in the Talent journey and Learning in the new era! TTM offers tailored solutions in Culture Transformation, Talent Strategy, Behavioural Leadership development and Coaching seeking to transform mindsets and a make a difference in the new era. As a global consulting firm, VCL Solutions helps organisations overcome the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic through Value Reinvention in the new low-touch digital economy. VCL offers tailored solutions in Reskilling and Upskilling, Digitization & Digitalization and strategy execution. TTM Group traditionally develops long and strong relationships with its clients based on trust, through a long-term, sincere client engagement approach.

The Challenge

● The employees of the TTM Group were managing information on clients and engagement through the use of different systems, tools and spreadsheets, making it difficult for the entire team to have easy and quick access to customers’ history. Vital information was fragmented throughout the organisation.

● The lack of a centralized system resulted in spending valuable time by team members to access information about the needs of each client lead and contact.

● Having two organisations in the TTM Group with different solutions addressing the needs of different audiences, there was an urgent need to clearly define and manage each company’s leads, contacts and client pipelines.

TTM Associates and VCL Solutions received client requests about their solutions on a daily basis. These requests resulted from various sources, like websites, digital ads, Emails, etc. The TTM Group team needed a centralized system to manage the prospect client leads effectively.

At the same time, valuable time was spent on searching and accessing necessary information on each client’s history from multiple sources. As a result, less time and resources were allocated to address crucial tasks of managing each client lead.

The Solution
Tools Used: Zoho CRM, Zoho SalesIQ, Zoho Campaigns, Zoho Survey, Zoho Social and Chatbot

Given the client’s challenges and needs, Repath conducted an in-depth strategy and business analysis that resulted to the design and implementation of tailored solution for the TTM Group.

The solution entailed:

  • A centralized operating system. Zoho CRM was the ideal solution for TTM Group to help the client’s team gather all the necessary information (customer’s contact details, online customer’s behavior, communication history etc.) under a unified platform with easy access. Since TTM Group consists of two organisations with different products and channels of communication (e.g. websites), Repath segmented the CRM to have a clear overview on which services each client lead was interested in.
  • Integration with Microsoft 365. Repath made access to the CRM easier with a single sign-in feature. All employees have quick access to the CRM through their email account (when they sign-in to their emails, they are automatically signed-in to Zoho CRM).
  • A pipeline management system. An effective client pipeline management system was developed to provide the opportunity to the TTM team to oversee and qualify every client lead to a different stage of the pipeline based on its actions and behavior. Four stages were defined on the pipeline process:: a) qualified, b) decision making c) review negotiation and d) closed won/closed lost.
  • Integration Zoho CRM with Zoho SalesIQ. Through the endless possibilities of SalesIQ, TTM Group team members have access to valuable information for each lead such as: webpage each lead visited , email messages opened, attractive content, etc .
  • Chatbot. Repath developed a tailor-made chatbot, integrated with the two websites. Through the chatbot the visitors of each website had the opportunity to communicate directly with the relevant company, after providing some initial information. The chatbot was integrated also with Zoho CRM to create a new entry every time the visitor decided to complete the form.
  • Migration from Mailchimp to Zoho Campaigns. Zoho Campaigns was utlised to deliver email marketing campaigns to the two companies’ audiences. TTM Group was previously using Mailchimp. All relevant contacts and subscriber together with their information were migrated to Zoho Campaigns.
  • Email Automation & Workflows.  A series of automations and workflows was developed to help TTM Group engage with their audiences on a constant basis. More specifically, VCL every month hosts themed talks with key industry experts. Participants were free to register to attend these interviews after completing a short form. A three-step email workflow was developed that included: an email upon registration, an email 24h before the event and an email a few days after the event.
  • Surveys for excellent customer experience. Using Zoho Survey, Repath designed surveys that helped the TTM Group team to identify the customer satisfaction of its audiences. The surveys were communicated through Zoho Campaigns.
  • A social media management system. Repath integrated the social media pages of both of the Group’s companies Zoho Social, enabling the TTM team to schedule posts, monitor important behaviours, and create custom-reports to analyze its social media performance.
We at TTM Group, seek to passionately make a difference, differently through Digital innovation and reinvent the way we create and deliver Value to our customers. With Zoho One we found a Digital Solution to have a consolidated view of our customers and tailor our proposed solutions based on their ever-changing needs.

Introducing Canvas- A new personalized experience for CRM records

TTM Group is one of the early  adopters of the Canvas View for CRM records, a new feature of Zoho that allows users to create an exclusively personalized view of the CRM records. Canvas View provides a tailor view of client records, based on the current business needs.

 This new feature was utilised to create a personalized and unique appearance that enabled the TTM Group team to differentiate the client leads and contacts between the two organisations. Repath, a Zoho Advanced Partner, developed custom buttons for presenting the fields’ view, utilising the specific fonts style aligned to the brand identity of each company of the group, editing and more.

Through this tailored solution, we are proud to help in the enablement of the transition of the TTM Group to a more customer centric approach, putting every customer at the center of the business. At the same time, the employee productivity of the TTM Group was significantly improved, given the enhance time save for focusing on other client related tasks.

 At the same time, TTM Group team members receive real-time analytics, measure every activity and up to date status report of all client leads in the sales funnel. Evaluating the online behavior of each lead, the team members can set new goals, redefine client approach and engage client leads differently to eventually turn them into a client deal.

Zoho CRM Canvas View

Maria Skounta, COO & Co-Founder of Repath stated

“Zoho One offers endless possibilities to companies across sizes to automate every single process of their business through a suite of over 40 business applications. We customized it for TTM Group and observed tremendous value in all the apps that they used. Moreover, new Zoho features like Canvas View created a truly personalised and engaging way of displaying the records of the client”.
