¿What is a CRM?

CRM is an acronym for the term “Customer Relationship Management”, which is the practice of being both attentive and responsive to the needs of individual customer relationships through systems and processes. Strong CRM practices are becoming an increasingly important strategic imperative for businesses across every sectors.

Businesses that don’t engage in CRM tend to have a one-size-fits-all approach to marketing, selling, and supporting their customers. This leads to each businesses not predicting or directly addressing customer needs during each customer engagement. Because customers tend to choose to work with businesses that more directly serve their needs, businesses that don't use CRM tend to win fewer deals against competitors, and have lower customer satisfaction, and retention.

On the contrary, businesses that do engage in CRM tend to employ more customer empathy during every stage of the customer journey, across every customer interaction. It is generally accepted that employing CRM systems and practices leads to increased customer satisfaction during marketing, sales, and customer service engagements, and ultimately to stronger profitabilit.
