LESSON NOTES
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the process of managing an organization’s relationships and interactions with its current and potential customers. If you improve your knowledge about them, you can better target marketing, offers, promotions, and sales messages. That means more sales and more profit.
Not-for-profits and governmental organizations use CRM as a way to improve the services they offer to their clients and service users.
Today’s CRM systems draw information from:
– the organization’s own marketing, sales, and customer care records.
– online databases held by businesses like social media platforms.
– bought data
A CRM system is a software tool that helps with, for example:
• Contact management
• Customer intelligence
• Sales management
• Marketing automation
• Customer service
