access to more information on alternatives make it harder than ever
before to win new customers and retain existing clients in the face of stiff
competition. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is all about
understanding people: what
makes them talk to you, what makes them buy from you, what products
and services they are most likely to be interested in, and what makes
them come back to buy from you again and again. To satisfy customers
and achieve commercial success, organisations need to collect, organise
and share all the information they have about their customers
throughout their business in a consistent, efficient way.
