Display customer's most recent inbound contact on my PDA, along with their current corporate address. Display customers who visit one of the video stores in our chain on a weekly basis. Once a month for the next six months, direct mail customers most likely to rent next month's new features who are not weekly visitors to the store. Display a list of customers who have lodged a complaint within the last 30 days. Contact all high-value customers who have lodged a complaint. Generate retention recommendations for each customer (using CRM product feature). Analyze the top 5 most popular office supplies and compare approved vendors' prices to prices of other potential suppliers. Identify the top 5 purchased office supplies and trial-run a Web RFQ system for limited quantities to test price improvements.
