What is Customer Relationship Management (CRM)?

"CRM is the practice of creating, maintaining and growing profitable, revenue generating customer relationships"

In today's cutthroat environment, almost every business faces a common challenge that is fundamental to its continued success - how to maintain and increase sales in a market where customers are offered a greater choice of when and how to buy and where barriers to competition are constantly being lowered.

To react to these challenges it is essential for organisations to:

  • Retain and develop relationships with their existing customers
  • Lower the cost and increase the effectiveness of acquiring new customers
  • Differentiate from their competition through superior customer service

The number of diverse and changing technologies and new media channels which have emerged as part of our continued drive for efficiency have made customer communications increasingly complex.

This has resulted in unconnected pockets of information, a lack of consistency across contact channels and disparate teams with little knowledge sharing. And instead of fostering customer relationships, in many cases the opposite has been achieved, with poor customer experience.

Historically the tools to manage customer relationships effectively have been geared toward large companies with the resources to support time-consuming implementation processes and high training costs. Until now.
