  A CRM solutionhas wide strategic benefits Protect cherry picking of customers by competition. Most companies have decided to focus their efforts on multi-product relationships with profitable customer segments. Many are developing relationship strategies to identify, attract, grow and retain profitable customer segments - and hence will be targeting your most profitable customers. Choose service levels by customer segment and channel. CRM will help enable different parts of the organisation to understand and communicate the “value” of each customer and hence the treatment strategy. Enable a sales led organisation & culture to be implemented. The CRM solutions include sophisticated sales tools and sales management information to assist sales people and managers in focusing on the key drivers to make their sales more effective. Radical cost reduction by streamlined processes. CRM is likely to reduce levels of central support, manual administration, error correction and time taken to serve a customer. Hence overall cost improvements should be achievable. Avoid costly “data clean-up” and re-work programmes. By improving the quality and consistency of information recorded and used there will be far less need to invest in these type of activities.
