Marketing and Customer Service[edit]

Customer relationship management systems track and measure marketing campaigns over multiple networks. These systems can track customer analysis by customer clicks and sales. Places where CRM is used include call centers, social media, direct mail, data storage files, banks, and customer data queries.

CRM in customer contact centers[edit]

CRM systems are customer relationship management platforms. The goal of the system is to track, record, store in databases, and then data mine the information in a way that increases customer relations (predominantly increased ARPU, and decreased churn). The CRM codifies the interactions between you and your customers so that you can maximize sales and profit using analytics and KPIs to give the users as much information on where to focus their marketing and customer service to maximize revenue and decrease idle and unproductive contact with your customers. The contact channels (now aiming to be omni-channel from multi-channel) use such operational methods as contact centers. The CRM software is installed in the contact centers, and help direct customers to the right agent or self-empowered knowledge.^[2] CRM software can also be used to identify and reward loyal customers over a period of time.

Appointments[edit]

CRM software program can automatically synchronize suitable appointment dates, times, and methods for customer contact. Once appointments are saved in a systems calendar, recalls the information so that it can be easily retrieved. It pulls up information on appointments and sends a represented message for action.^{[citation need}
