What is Customer Relationship Management?

Customer Relationship Management (or CRM) describes an approach by which an organisation manages interactions with its customers, whether they are potential, current, or previous customers. It is typically enabled by specialist CRM software, which has been specifically designed for this purpose. CRM typically helps organisations drive targeted sales and marketing activities, whilst enabling better customer experience, satisfaction and retention.
