Part 1 – Compliance – Cleanse your Contact Object

This week we provide an introduction to Compliance and Contact Management. 

AI can enable you to communicate with your contacts more efficiently if your contact management is compliant and clean. The Contact Object is the the anchor object of the CRM and therefore it will be used by multiple departments. It’s therefore important to analyse cross-departmental alignment of the contact object to see how the teams synchronise on the contact object and use it in the most effective way. In the worst case scenario you might find the following issues: 

• Contact records lack basic core information and can’t be segmented easily 
• Contact records are not owned by anyone in particular and are not active..
• The contact object has lots of fields on it that are duplicates or they are not populated
• No one trusts the information in the contact record and no one updates it regularly
• There are lots of duplicates and poor or no duplicate management

On the Supermums Consultancy Skills Course we provide a comprehensive business analysis questionnaire and workshop format around the design and management of the contact management object that looks at the five following areas. We would recommend bring the heads of all your departments together to align on the requirements of the contact management object. We have summarised the five main discussion areas below.

1. Data Capture – Analyses how contact information is being captured initially and then how it is integrated, imported or input directly into Salesforce. It also analyses what information you capture about a contact from compulsory data, core data, segmentation, categorisation to engagement with the brand. 
2. Contact Preferences – Analyses how this data is then used coherently by the departments for their e-marketing and communication needs. How do you segment your contacts? How do contacts opt in or out of communication preferences. How will the people be able to update contact details, consent and interests over time?
3. Communication Tools – Analyses the frequency and volume of the communication and what communication tools the team are going to need and use to communicate with your contacts and how to provide and manage communication preferences and harness the power of AI in the most effective way.
4. Data Management – Analyses how the team are going to manage data integrity to avoid issues in the future. This considers a range of strategies from data capture tools to validation rules to trusted data sources to populate and maintain clean data. We will be covering more of this in Part 2. 
5. Data Compliance – Analyses the KPIs you will use to assess data compliance and data integrity in the system. How you are going to assess this is inline with your data protection policies. Will be covering more of this in Part 4.
