Read the first 7 CRM Systems & Analytics flashcards as text

  1. A CCM firm wants to reduce the time attorneys wait for initial case assessments. Which CRM feature most directly addresses this?

    Answer: Automated intake forms that capture case details and trigger an assignment workflow

    Automated intake forms capture event date, location, and loss type upon submission, immediately routing the case to the appropriate meteorologist and cutting manual triage time.

  2. Which scenario best illustrates the use of CRM analytics to support ethical business practices for a consulting meteorologist?

    Answer: Running a conflict-of-interest check by searching CRM records for opposing parties before accepting a new case

    Searching CRM records for opposing parties before engagement is a standard conflict-check procedure that upholds professional ethics and avoids disqualification.

  3. A consulting meteorologist's CRM shows a high client satisfaction score but declining revenue per client. The most likely explanation is:

    Answer: Clients are satisfied but not expanding scope or referring new matters, suggesting an upsell gap

    Satisfaction without revenue growth reveals a missed opportunity to expand services or generate referrals—a classic CRM analytics gap between relationship quality and business outcomes.

  4. Which GDPR or US state privacy law consideration is most relevant when a consulting meteorologist stores opposing-party witness information in a CRM?

    Answer: Limiting storage of non-client personal data to what is necessary and ensuring appropriate access controls

    Data minimization and access control are core privacy law requirements when handling personal information of individuals who are not clients of the firm.

  5. A consulting meteorologist uses CRM activity logs to prepare for an annual performance review. Which metric is most directly tied to business development effectiveness?

    Answer: Number of new contacts added and proposals sent versus prior year

    New contacts added and proposals sent measure outbound business development activity, directly linking effort to pipeline growth year over year.

  6. A consulting meteorologist's CRM integrates with time-tracking software. Which combined report best supports accurate client invoicing?

    Answer: Hours logged per case linked to the corresponding CRM matter record and agreed billing rate

    Linking time logs directly to CRM matter records at the agreed rate produces auditable, accurate invoices that match the client's expectations and the firm's records.

  7. When evaluating two CRM platforms for a meteorological consulting practice, which criterion should carry the most weight?

    Answer: Ability to customize fields for weather-event metadata, case type classification, and legal-industry contact roles

    Custom fields for weather-event date, location, case type, and legal-industry roles are essential to making the CRM useful for the meteorological consulting workflow.
