7 Key Features of the Best Brokerage CRM

The right Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system can greatly accelerate the success of your brokerage. The best brokerage CRM will prime your brokerage for rapid expansion with an array of tools from affiliate marketing to ticketing support that paves the way from onboarding to retention.

Here are some features of the best brokerage CRM that will help you propel your business.

1. Modular and Customizable Infrastructure

Every market is different, and the needs of a broker are ever-changing. In the highly competitive FX industry, your brokerage needs to constantly remain relevant and that’s where a distinctive, yet nimble CRM does wonders.

A modular framework allows the creation of highly customizable, fully-branded CRMs without the hefty costs and long lead times. This flexibility allows the broker to reduce time to market as every function can be instantly added and removed based on dynamic requirements. This also means a broker can continue to add functionalities along with their business growth, making the modular approach extremely cost effective and efficient.

2. Multi-Tier Affiliate System

Affiliate and IB (Introducing Broker) marketing are highly effective strategies that drive rapid business growth through referrals. Statistically, there is a ten-fold success rate of 14.6% conversion as compared to cold sales prospecting at 1.7%.
