CRM Software Solutions Lead to Long-term Relationships Says VendorGuru.com
Busy professionals who want to increase their long-term competitive edge need to consider purchasing a customer relationship management (CRM) software solution in the New Year, says VendorGuru.com (http://www.VendorGuru.com). According to a 2006 George Washington University (GWU) School of Business Research Report, "The fundamental dilemma is finding out which CRM approaches have the greatest positive impact and result in building long-term customer value and thus financial impact."
Dick Lee, vice president of a consulting firm that specializes in designing and developing customer-centric business strategies and author of "Strategic CRM: the complete implementation manual," stresses two important steps to successful implementation of a CRM software solution--developing customer-centric strategies and finding the technology that fully supports them. The message is clear; companies that do not develop and maintain value-based relationships with their customers are gambling with the future of their business. Lee adds that companies like "Nordstrom have been customer-centric forever…Southwest Airlines and Toyota caught on years ago, and young companies like Amazon.com and Google got it right from the start."
