WHAT IS CRM
Having established that knowing your customers is a fundamental element for your business, we now propose a tool that is becoming indispensable for effectively managing the relationship between company and consumer.
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a software-based strategy through which a company manages its interactions with customers, typically using data analytics to study large amounts of information. CRM systems acquire data through different communication channels, such as the company website, the telephone (many software is associated with a softphone), emails, live chats, social networks and marketing tools in general.
These systems allow businesses to collect, organize and analyze customer data, allowing companies to develop deeper insights into their customers’ needs, preferences and behaviors.
Nowadays there are numerous points of contact between the customer and the company (in person in the office, with a chatbot on the site, via email and newsletters, etc.). CRM allows you to bring together all customer information in one place and in an orderly, rational and updated manner.
