What is CRM?
CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. It is a process
or methodology used to learn more about customers' needs and
behaviors in order to develop stronger relationships with them.
There are many technological components to CRM, but thinking
about CRM in primarily technological terms is a mistake. The
more useful way to think about CRM is as a process that will
help bring together lots of pieces of information about customers,
sales, marketing effectiveness, responsiveness and market trends.
CRM helps businesses use technology and human resources to gain
insight into the behavior of customers and the value of those
customers.
