Customer relationship management (CRM) is a method that uses technology to organize a company's interactions with customers and prospects across marketing, sales, customer service, and technical support. The main goals of a CRM system are to find new clients, retain existing clients, and regain former clients while reducing marketing and customer service costs. A CRM also aims to improve quality, efficiency, and collaboration between departments through features like sales automation, marketing campaigns, customer service tracking, analytics, and appointment scheduling.
