Customer relationship management (CRM) involves managing customer data and interactions to drive sales growth. It uses business processes and technology to understand customers and provide a consistent experience. Nestle's mission is to operate responsibly and improve quality of life, while its vision focuses on sustainable long-term growth. Its target market includes people of all ages and it offers a wide range of products like milk, dairy, water and cereals. CRM systems give customer service reps access to sales data and help manage requests while enabling self-service support. Benefits include identifying the best customers and providing personalized service, but some CRM projects fail to deliver results or damage relationships.
