Today, there is no universal agreed definition of CUSTOMER
RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM). However, what is universally agreed is
the common business need to manage and capitalize on the most valuable
asset: information.
In particular, the evolution of markets, the fall of
traditional trade barriers, the free availability of information and
the consequent increase in competition (both domestic and international),
have highlighted more than ever before, the need to focalize on servicing
your existing customers whilst at the same time proactively generate
and capitalize on each and every new business opportunity.
Through an integrated sales, marketing and customer support,
you give the maximum attention and service to your most valuable business
assets: your customers.
This is the essence of Customer Relationship Management.
