Email integration into a CRM is a key requirement. Our new innovative tool to help our customers is the ability to allow them to add any email mailbox type into our Hybrid Legal CRM.
At Tech ICS, we believe in building platforms that makes a difference to our community.
The purpose was to create flexibility and improve how our customers, notably our legal professionals save time by allowing them to respond to the emails, add them into the matter communication, save the attachments and add their billable time, within minutes, without the need to navigate anywhere else.
We speak regularly with our legal professionals, to understand what will make their life easier and on average, most lawyers spend anything between 4-6 hours per day on emails.
Most of the emails that they deal with are their clients who need advice and explanations, and whilst the response time cannot be made easier, the compliance and reporting into the CRM can be.
Hybrid Legal CRM has developed the product to streamline how quick an email can be replied to, saved and billed. If the email is not to be billed, then you don’t complete this and allow the email to be saved into the matter, that simple.
When we added this feature, almost all the legal professionals have given us strong feedback and now saying it saved them on average 2 hours per day.
That equates to 14 hours per week, as most lawyers work 7 days a week and 56 hours per month. Our research has confirmed that it is beyond this and some of the feedback was simply astonishing.
Learning more about the difference between email integration & email marketing
On Hybrid Legal CRM, you can send individual emails to your client or send bulk emails, also referred to as email marketing.
What we have created on our platform is the ability to have multiple email accounts and let them be managed.
Most CRM users will have an email client such as Outlook to manage their emails and will work between the CRM & their mail client to manage their daily workflow.
Hybrid Legal CRM makes our customer’s life simple. You will be able to add your email account in 1 place. The matter and the emails are managed through our AI-built platform.
You can as an admin to the Hybrid Legal CRM, automatically add email accounts for certain CRM users, making sure the right customer is channelled to the right people.
Further to this, Hybrid Legal CRM allows you to create email automation, so emails are sent at intervals which build on customer interaction and depending on the reaction of each email by the customer, it would send the next instance of an email.
Triggering sales channel through email management and workflow
Whether you are running a law firm or professional services, a CRM helps your business to manage the customer sales funnel. It improves customer service delivery. When a customer makes an enquiry to your firm, how the customer is channelled through your firm is important.
When we discuss the business process with CEOs, Director, Practice Managers and Office Managers on understanding their lead metrics, most of them do not realise how much sales are lost through an unworkable sales funnel.
Hybrid Legal CRM does things differently. We combine sales, lead management and matter management in one place. Bringing email management to the platform makes the platform better and more powerful, moving leads and matter management quicker. This improves customer service delivery and profitability.
