We will also discuss our experience working with one of our membership customers, West Wood, and how we transformed their customer retention management (CRM) system using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Click Dimensions.
CRM stands for customer relationship management. It’s a category of integrated, data-driven solutions that improve how you interact and do business with your customers. CRM systems and applications are designed to manage and maintain customer relationships, track engagements, and sales, and deliver actionable data—all in one place.
CRM solutions streamline processes and increase profitability in your sales, marketing, and service divisions. A strong CRM solution is a multifaceted platform where everything crucial to developing, improving, and retaining your customer relationships is stored. Without the support of an integrated CRM solution, you may miss growth opportunities and lose revenue because you’re not maximizing your business relationships
Using Microsoft Dynamics 365, Spanish Point can build a solution tailored to your company, brand, and needs, giving you the opportunity to focus on your clients rather than process. We will provide you with an easy-to-use sales and marketing tool that centralizes and shares data so that everyone in the company can access any info at any time.

West Wood Club is one of Dublin’s most prominent health and wellness brands. It currently has six locations across the Irish capital and boasts over 36,000 members. The company had been building customer databases for the past 16 years, so there was no shortage of membership inquiries. However, the business’ continued growth relied on lead generation, which meant integrating their digital marketing efforts. West Wood realised the importance of data and the ability to view, segment, and act on business intelligence in real-time: which the team just couldn’t do with their legacy CRM system.
The West Wood team knew that in order to complement their new website and to reach more leads, they needed a more sophisticated CRM system – one that offered both sales and marketing automation tools. They also needed a greater degree of efficiency in their digital communications: in order to optimise overall lead generation processes. They realised Microsoft Dynamics 365 could provide all of the necessary functionality; such as a cloud-based system that could interface with their website content management tools. However, it quickly became clear that the level of customization West Wood needed was far beyond their in-house IT capabilities. They reached out to Spanish Point to develop the CRM system with the enhanced tools the sales and marketing team needed to streamline the more process-intensive aspects of their lead generation activities, to drive more inquiries and sign-ups.
Key Benefits:
Thanks to Microsoft Dynamics 365, West Wood now have a real-time view of all of their prospects and members; and can easily segment different groups, and instantly set direct mail, emails, and digital campaigns in motion. Needless to say, the company has significantly improved its digital marketing and lead generation – not just through bigger sales numbers, but through a better streamlined, more responsive approach to managing its data.
