Total Recall: CRM Systems for Destinations and Venues
WE08
CRM According to Wikipedia
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a system for managing a
company’s interactions with current and future customers. It often involves
using technology to organize, automate and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service and
technical support.
CRM in OUR World is a Bit Different
Customer relationship management (CRM) is a system for managing a convention bureau, tourism
board or meeting venue with current and future customers by centralizing business intelligence,
automating and streamlining sales and marketing processes.
In addition to facilitating sales and marketing efforts, industry specific or purpose-built CRM systems also manage vendor/ supplier interactions, member or
stakeholder interactions and a myriad of related and interrelated activities, integrations and outputs
including complex sales, forecasting and economic impact reporting.
