Customer Relationship Management CRM is a software system that aims at developing and maintain relationships with customers. Since customers are essential for the growth of every business nurturing the relationship is a must. They are the crucial and unavoidable factor in developing sales and marketing.

Making new customers and retaining existing ones is equally important in business. For retaining customers a good relationship must be maintained with them along with constant communication. 

Before the wide use of CRM, companies relied on Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets recorded data such as name, email address, phone number, purchase details and address. But with CRM more and additional information of the customers along with their history with the company can be stored. Apart from storing all these details in CRM you can do follow-ups, schedule activities and track customer replies with CRM.
