What is CRM?y Customer relationship management (CRM) is a widely-implemented
strategy for managing a companys interactions with customers, clients andsales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and
synchronize business processesprincipally sales activities, but also those formarketing, customer service, and technical support.
y Customer relationship management describes a company-wide businessstrategy including customer-interface departments as well as otherdepartments. It is a process or methodology used to learn more aboutcustomers' needs and behaviours in order to develop stronger relationships
with them.y There are many technological components to CRM, but thinking about CRM in
primarily technological terms is a mistake. The more useful way to think aboutCRM is as a process that will help bring together lots of pieces of informationabout customers, sales, marketing effectiveness, responsiveness and markettrends.

and target potential clients and generate leads for the sales
team.A key marketing capability is tracking and measuringmultichannel campaigns, including email, search, social media,
telephone and direct mail. Metrics monitored include clicks,responses, leads, deals, and revenue. This has been superseded
by marketing automation and Prospect RelationshipManagement (PRM) solutions which track customer behaviour

4 Steps to Prevent CRM Failure :
y 1. Adopt a customer-centric strategy :This is the most important factor by far. "Companies
lacking customer-focused strategies including many (thatare) encouraged byCRM consultants and software vendors
to proceed regardless rarely succeed.Todays customers behave very differently from customers ofjust a few years ago. They realize they have a choice andthey can demand more from sellers. A lot of companies
approach CRM as a way to mollify these customers ratherthan truly reorienting the company to customer needs.
This leads to a tacked-on approach to CRMbecause it isonly viewed as a way of providing lip service

Cont.. : y 2. Engage line staff :You cant force line staff, such as sales people and service
agents, to use CRM tools. Companies that properly educaterelevant staff members about the business benefits ofCRMand train them to use it properly are more likely to achieve
success.Figure out how the CRM system will make life easier for line
staff so they can see how they will derive direct benefitsfrom the tools. The best way to do this to interview themduring the projects design phase to find out, for example,
if the system can eliminate some of the work associatedwith forecasting or generating proposals.

y 3. Be willing to change the organization:Companies must also be willing to change theirorganizations to take proper advantage ofCRM.
example, organizations that traditionally place allpricing authority in a central organization may not
realize all the benefits ofCRM technology unless theyare willing to let sales people directly negotiate pricing
with customers, and thereby close sales more quickly.Unwillingness to change organizational roles is morelikely to contribute to a failed implementation than
accepting the status quo

Continue...y 4. Set measurable goals :Its difficult to monitor progress of a CRM project and its actual
payback without first establishing metrics and evaluating performance.To establish metrics, most companies need to make a substantial
investment in customer research.This research helps companies learn things such as how many customers
defect as a result of late deliveries or how satisfied customers are with aresponse to a service request.Furthermore, CRM is not a good fit with short-term financial goals and a
quick grab for ROI. Most of the financial benefit ofCRM comes fromprojects that keep customers from leaving and encourage them to
increase the amount they spend with the company.These benefits usually dont accrue for at least a year or two. Companies
that dont see long-term advantages to CRM should probably avoid italtogether rather than looking for a quick fix.
