What is a OgaCRM?

Firstly, CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. Customer Relationship Management is an approach to manage a company's interaction with current and potential customers. It uses data analysis about customers' history with a company to improve business relationships with customers, specifically focusing on customer retention and ultimately driving sales growth.

One important aspect of the CRM approach is the systems of CRM that compile data from a range of different communication channels, including a company's website, telephone, email, live chat, marketing materials and more recently, social media. Through the CRM approach and the systems used to facilitate it, businesses learn more about their target audiences and how to best cater to their needs.

How do I get my domain name/website address?

When you signup for an account, a unique ID is generated for the new account. This unique ID is your vendor ID and is also your default username. The vendor ID is automatically assigned by the system and looks something like "ref-1234".

Your domain name/website address is a combination of your username and your preferred extension (available extensions are ".oga.ng, .oga.one, .ref.city" and ".ref.ng"). So if your username is "ref-1234" and your preferred domain name extension is ".oga.one", your website address will be "ref-1234.oga.one".

Change your username to something more memorable like "MyBusinessName" (use your actual business name or preferred username), so your website address becomes "mybusinessname.oga.one" or "mybusinessname.oga.ng", depending on your preferred domain name extension.

When entering your username, put the words together so it looks like one word. Also, notice the capitalisation in the example "MyBusinessName". For best result, use capital letters for the first letter of each sub-word like this: MyBusinessName. Use of space character is not allowed in usernames.

How do I change my username?

To change your username, make sure you are signed in to your account at https://ogacrm.com, then from the "Settings" menu at the top of your screen, go to "Personal Details", then click the "Edit" button at the bottom of the page. Locate the username field and update it with your preferred username. If you haven't already entered your street address, you must do so before you click the "Save" button and voila, you have successfully updated your username.

Note that your domain name/website address is a combination of your username and your preferred extension (available extensions are ".oga.ng", ".oga.one", ".ref.city" and ".ref.ng"). So changes to your username will also affect your website address.

When entering your username, put the words together so it looks like one word. Also, notice the capitalisation in the example "MyBusinessName". For best result, use capital letters for the first letter of each sub-word like this: MyBusinessName. Use of space character is not allowed in usernames.
