RBC Financial Group uses a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy that provides a variety of services for a variety of clients. The strategy allows for individual customers to trust RBC and develop a personal relationship with each and every client. One major factor that allows CRM to operate effectively is the use of technologies and analytics to help classify each client’s financial situation. These customer profitability-based techniques allowed RBC to categorize their clients into A, B, and C groups so that the sales teams could optimize their efforts in catering to these different clients. This strategy holds the following strengths: optimizing sales efforts to different customers, easily accessible electronic sales leads, centralized and standardized financial decisions, and building personalized and sustainable customer relationships.

Right now, there is a low supply of workers leading to a shortage which means that instead of trying to hire full-time workers Ashok should try to look to different strategies in order to account for the shortage. He could do so by making opening positions for part-time workers, employ contract workers, outsource work and essentially try to reduce that gap.
