The My Profile app lets your leads and customers update their personal information. This functionality reduces customer support needs by empowering customers to manage their information. And it frees up your resources to handle more complex customer inquiries instead.

Giving customers control over their data enhances their overall experience with your company. Customers typically expect and prefer self-service, which leads to increased satisfaction and loyalty.
