LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, October 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Customers are a business' best asset. They provide opportunities for new sales and act as an endorsement to products and services when everything's going well. But businesses could be losing sales, customers and their reputation if they're not maintaining a positive relationship by using an effective business CRM system.
"As National Customer Service Week demonstrates, customers are the key to good business and growth. CRM systems such as webCRM ensure a business maintains a proactive relationship with its customers," said Stephen Todd of Leicestershire-based webCRM.
"From recording activities and enquiries, following-up sales opportunities, sending e-mails and arranging meetings which can synchronised with Microsoft Outlook, webCRM is a valuable business tool."
webCRM's CRM system is web-based which means it provides a secure, off-site database that is accessible from any laptop and desktop PC or Apple Mac, mobile devices such as Apple iPhones, BlackBerry and Android phones, as well as the iPad and tablet PCs.
Above all, it synchronises with all devices, ensuring a business and its teams are always accessing up-to-date and relevant information.
Just as important, it ensures access to customer data is live. This means customer services and sales teams can provide customers with the service they expect in today's competitive marketplace.
Planning consultancy nlp, which has offices in London, Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle realised that CRM was vital when it came to customer relationships.
Peter Claxton of nlp, said: "We are now having more interest from clients because we are aware of who we're talking to and they're being reminded of us. It certainly allows us to take track of what's happening at any time.
"It's adding value. We can see what meetings people have been to and what activities are taking place that we couldn't see before. The ability to see new business activity and monitor progress is much better."
webCRM can also demonstrate its system to businesses through a bespoke webinar and provide a 14 day free trial. Visit www.webcrm.com or call 0800 1522 102.

Adult congenital heart patients with highest surgery costs more likely to die in hospital
2011-10-19
Higher surgical costs for adult congenital heart patients is associated with higher rates of inpatient death compared to surgical admissions that incur lower costs, according to a study in Circulation: Quality and Outcomes, a journal of the American Heart Association.
In the study, researchers sought to understand resource use by adults undergoing congenital heart surgery in pediatric hospitals, analyze the association between high resource use and inpatient death, and identify risk factors for high resource use.
They found that although the number of adults undergoing ...

Los Angeles County Mayor and Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich has endorsed Bruce Fortine's bid to serve another term on the Santa Clarita Community College District Board of Trustees. Fortine is running for re-election to Seat 4.
"For more than 25 years, Bruce's leadership on the Santa Clarita Community College District Board has had a very positive impact on the students and faculty of College of the Canyons," Antonovich said. "With his experience, knowledge and passion, he will be a superb representative for our Santa Clarita Valley residents attending ...
Young human-specific genes correlated with human brain evolution
2011-10-19
Young genes that appeared since the primate branch split from other mammal species are expressed in unique structures of the developing human brain, a new analysis finds.
The correlation suggests that scientists studying the evolution of the human brain should look to genes considered recent by evolutionary standards and early stages of brain development.
"There is a correlation between the new gene origination and the evolution of the brain," said Manyuan Long, PhD, Professor of Ecology & Evolution at the University of Chicago and senior author of the study in PLoS ...
Hospitalization for heart failure among Medicare patients has declined substantially
2011-10-19
CHICAGO - Between 1998 and 2008, heart-failure related hospitalizations declined substantially among Medicare patients, but at a lower rate for black men, according to a study in the October 19 issue of JAMA. Also, 1-year mortality rates declined slightly during this period, but remain high.
"Heart failure (HF) imposes one of the highest disease burdens of any medical condition in the United States with an estimated 5.8 million patients experiencing HF in 2006. The risk of developing HF increases with advancing age, and as a result, HF ranks as the most frequent cause ...
Most hospital readmission prediction models perform poorly
2011-10-19
CHICAGO – A review and analysis of 26 validated hospital readmission risk prediction models finds that most, whether for hospital comparison or clinical purposes, have poor predictive ability, according to an article in the October 19 issue of JAMA.
"An increasing body of literature attempts to describe and validate hospital readmission risk prediction tools," according to background information in the article. "Predicting hospital readmission risk is of great interest to identify which patients would benefit most from care transition interventions, as well as to risk-adjust ...
Sterilization method for hemodialysis dialyzer membrane linked with risk of low platelet counts
2011-10-19
CHICAGO – Patients who had undergone hemodialysis using dialyzers that had been sterilized with the use of electron beams were more likely to develop thrombocytopenia (an abnormally low platelet count in the blood, associated with increased risk of bleeding), according to a study in the October 19 issue of JAMA.
"Adverse device reactions to hemodialysis treatments are uncommon but can still occur in today's era of hemodialysis membranes and technology. During hemodialysis treatment, patients are exposed to a variety of components of the dialysis circuit and could have ...
Commonwealth Fund Commission national health care scorecard: US scores 64 out of 100
2011-10-19
New York, NY, October 18, 2011—The U.S. health care system scored 64 out of 100 on key measures of performance, according to the third national scorecard report from the Commonwealth Fund Commission on a High Performance Health System, released today. The scorecard finds that—despite pockets of improvement—the U.S as a whole failed to improve when compared to best performers in this country, and among other nations. The report also finds significant erosion in access to care and affordability of care, as health care costs rose far faster than family incomes.
At the same ...
Scientists create computing building blocks from bacteria and DNA
2011-10-19
Scientists have successfully demonstrated that they can build some of the basic components for digital devices out of bacteria and DNA, which could pave the way for a new generation of biological computing devices, in research published today in the journal Nature Communications.
The researchers, from Imperial College London, have demonstrated that they can build logic gates, which are used for processing information in devices such as computers and microprocessors, out of harmless gut bacteria and DNA. These are the most advanced biological logic gates ever created ...
How learning more about mass nesting can help conserve sea turtles
2011-10-19
Ecologists are a step closer to understanding one of nature's most extraordinary sights – the 'arribada' or synchronised mass nesting of female olive ridley sea turtles. The new study, published today in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Animal Ecology, is the first to combine three different approaches – genetics, demography and behaviour, and the results should help conserve these vulnerable marine creatures.
The study, lead by Virginie Plot of the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France, gathered three sets of data. First, to get an accurate ...
Antineoplastic agents associated with thyroid dysfunction
2011-10-19
Antineoplastic agents such as immunotherapies and targeted therapies that specifically target signaling pathways in cancer cells are associated with thyroid dysfunction in 20%-50% of cancer patients taking them, which can adversely affect patients' quality of life, according to a study published Oct. 18 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Over the past two decades, novel antineoplastic agents have been introduced that inhibit specific cellular processes to limit cancer cell growth. Some of these agents cause thyroid dysfunction, which physicians often overlook ...
