What Is Customer Relationship Management? |
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a set of strategies, processes, and associated technology enablers designed to improve the interactions and engagement of customers. It involves not only the use of these systems, but also corporate cultural transformation and ongoing programs with the appropriate organizational framework. Sales force automation (SFA), customer service and support, and enterprise marketing management are among the main CRM areas.
