CRM

Harvard Business Review mentions that CRM is not a tool for buffing a company’s performance at the edges. It should be applied only to processes vital to a company’s competitiveness—those that can distance a firm from its competitors or keep a function (such as call center response time) on par with the rest of the industry when parity counts.
