What Is Customer Relationship Management

Learn how Customer Relationship Management can benefit your business

A majority of modern businesses are making the switch to a subscription-based business model and it’s revolutionizing the post-sales process. It’s not just about providing troubleshooting support—you now need to establish and nurture a strong customer relationship in order to get them to renew their contract. So now more than ever, effective Customer Relationship Management is essential for growing revenue and increasing profitability.

Customer Relationship Management refers to successful business-customer relationships with not only existing customers but also future ones. The relationship building starts before the deal is closed. The salesperson prepares them for success with your product and once they’ve signed the contract, they move on to post-sales, where the customer is given the guidance and materials necessary for them to achieve their desired goals.
