What is CRM?

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management

CRM. If you work in sales, marketing, or customer service, you’ve
probably heard the term before – but what does CRM mean, and what can it do for your business?

Customer relationship management (CRM) definition: The way businesses interact with current and future customers. Traditionally, this has been done with software that automates and integrates your customer-facing activities: sales, marketing, and customer service. But today, best-in-class CRM software systems go beyond that core functionality – providing additional tools for customer analytics, personalization, e-commerce, social media, collaboration, and more. The ultimate goal? To drive omni-channel customer engagement.

Why is CRM important?

Tracking customer interactions can be challenging – especially if you have more than a few names in your Rolodex. That's where CRM comes in. New CRM systems centralize and store massive volumes of customer and prospect data – from contact history to social media activity – and make it available in real time. You can analyze this data and leverage it to dramatically improve:

  • Sales
  • Marketing
  • Customer service
  • Digital commerce activities
 

What are the benefits of CRM?

CRM benefits are wide-ranging – from higher levels of customer engagement, loyalty, and revenue to lower costs and smarter customer-facing activities. Explore some of the top benefits of CRM systems below.
