More than ever before, businesses are looking for new ways to gather and utilize customer data. We’re not just talking standard demographics, either. With customers becoming more discerning by the day, businesses need to understand customer behavior — both online and in retail stores — in order to market to them effectively. This includes an understanding of how customers come to learn more about products and services, as well as where they see room for improvement in those products and services.
The more your business knows about your customers, the more competitive you’ll be. Are you already using Microsoft Dynamics 365 as your CRM platform? If so, we have good news for you. Microsoft offers an amazing customer data tool as part of the Dynamics 365 suite: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights. Below, we’ll look at how Customer Insights works, along with 6 reasons why your business should be taking advantage of it.
How Does Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights Work?
With Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, your business can understand your customers better than ever before. Customer Insights works by first gathering customer data, and then aggregating that data with the help of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). With Customer Insights, those working in sales, customer support, and marketing will gain a deeper knowledge of each customer, allowing them to personalize messaging and engagement.
Straight out of the box, Customer Insights comes equipped with the Power Platform. This makes it easy to import data from just about any source, including Power BI, Power Apps, Microsoft Access, Excel, JSON, Microsoft Graph, and REST APIs. Thanks to Customer Insights’ built-in customer profiles, your staff will have a complete view of each customer’s journey. These profiles are easy to customize, too, with the ability to segment them as needed. The end result is valuable information for your business.
