2. What is CRM??
Customer Relationship Management is a business strategy that
aims to understand, anticipate and manage the needs of an
organization’s current and potential customers.
It is a shift from traditional marketing as it focuses on the retention
of customers in addition to the acquisition of new customers
The expression Customer Relationship Management(CRM) is
becoming standard terminology, replacing what is widely perceived
to be misleading narrow term, relationship management (RM).
3. CRM and Telecom Industry
Customer retention is more important than ever for
companies in the Telecommunications Industry.
Rate wars, the influence of real-time social networks,
and a constant inflow of new players into the market
make it vital for Telecom companies to understand
customers and respond quickly.
• With the main goals to boost loyalty, reduce churn, improve operational
efficiency, and support new business models, Telecom companies are doing
the following:
Immediately identify cross-selling opportunities.
Prevent customer churn and detect up selling opportunities.
Send effective acquisition and retention campaigns that match the right
customers with the right products.

Loyalty
Telecom companies need to leverage and integrate massive
amounts of data from a range of sources -like Call Data Records

and network service quality— in a holistic way, minimizing the poor
alignment between siloed departments.
To achieve a 360º approach to customer experience and build a
sustainable, competitive advantage, Telecom companies must gain
a deep understanding of customer attitudes, behaviors and actions.
This is essential to improving customer acquisition and retention.
