Do these everyday problems in PR & communications firms sound familiar?

Retainer proposals built from old documents slow every PR firm. Brand enquiries come by email and referral, referral leads live in one consultant's phone, and annual retainer dates creep up unnoticed.

See how CIPHER CRM solves this

A retainer enquiry comes in and the proposal is assembled slowly from old documents.

Annual communications retainers creep up on renewal and get chased late.

Warm prospects stall between the pitch and the contract while the team is on live campaigns.

Referral leads live in one consultant's phone and are never logged.

When a client servicing lead leaves, the brand relationship goes with them.

Each retainer enquiry moves from pitch to proposal with an owner. Referral leads are logged with their source. Annual retainers show their renewal early, and the brand relationship stays with the firm.

PR & Communications Firms enquiries scattered across notebooks, calls and WhatsApp

Every pr & communications firms enquiry captured in one list with a named owner

Nobody is sure who was meant to manage client leads and brand enquiries

A named owner and a due date on every pr & communications firms follow-up

PR & Communications Firms history walks out of the door when staff leave

Every deal, quote and note kept on the customer record
