BUSINESS RELATIONS
• The business relations form is the core of the CRM module. Most information is entered in the CRM module through the Business relations form
• The business relations form is intended for prospects, i.e. a person or organization that the company has not yet done business with – either to sell to or purchase from
• In most circumstances, these business relations will be converted into customers or vendors. If the business relations are created and then converted to customers or vendors, the party information from the global address book is shared and copied to the customer or vendor account

subsegments. A company defines segments based on its business models or needs. Segments can facilitate data analysis. Data analysis draws on this segmentation of business relations to create meaningful results.

SEGMENTS AND SUBSEGMENTS (cont.)
Each segment can be categorized additionally into subsegments for a specific segment: CRM > SETUP > CONTACT MANAGEMENT > BUSINESS RELATIONS > SUBSEGMENTS

SALES DISTRICTS Companies may decide to categorize business relations by sales districts.CRM > SETUP > CONTACT MANAGEMENT > BUSINESS RELATIONS > SALES DISTRICTS
SUMMATION OF SEGMENTS, SUBSEGMENTS, AND SALES DISTRICTS Segments, Subsegments, and Sales Districts are three of many fields available on business relation and contact records. The organization needs to determine which of these fields to use and for what specific information. This should be defined based on the company’s own view of their market and sales procedures because the data is only meaningful if the fields are accurately and consistently entered in by the sales team.

COMPANY CHAINS If the business relation is a part of a larger chain of companies, this can be shown on a business relation. A chain of companies consists of a parent company and smaller business units. For example, many retail stores with the same name are part of a retail chain. Use the Company chains form to set up chains. CRM > SETUP > CONTACT MANAGEMENT > BUSINESS RELATIONS > COMPANY CHAINS
