Customer Relationship Management (CRM) involves processes that help manage and analyze customer interactions throughout their lifecycle, aiming to improve and retain relationships and boost future sales. CRM systems consolidate customer data across multiple channels, such as websites, telephone, direct mail, live chat, marketing materials, and social media. This comprehensive approach enables customer-facing staff to access and manage detailed customer information, including personal details, preferences, and purchasing history.
Modern CRM software not only aggregates customer information into a single database but also includes advanced features such as interaction recording across various channels, workflow automation, calendars, and alerts. These functionalities enable managers to track performance and productivity effectively. Additionally, CRM tools automate marketing and sales activities, and customer resource management, simplifying the entire process.
