• CRM is about leveraging people, process and technology to optimize your interactions with your prospects and customers.

• Objective: Acquire and retain Loyal Customers

CRM Example

• Up sold Me (Process)

• Positive Customer Experience

Customer Loyalty

• Customer Satisfaction– Overall, How satisfied are you with (brand)?– How likely are you to continue to purchase (brand)?– How likely are you to recommend (brand) to a friend/associate?

and satisfactory resolution.

• Pride– I feel proud to be (brand) customer.– (Brand) always treats me with respect.
