Abstract
Although conventional wisdom holds that the majority of CRM solutions have fallen short of their promise, this article suggests that a silver lining may exist in the clouds of past CRM disappointments. Companies can generate real value from previous CRM investments (and ensure that future spending is more productive) by moving beyond a focus on technology and concentrating instead on a few critical business objectives that will drive bottom-line results. In addition to defining the objectives, ensuring that the employee behavior change takes place is essential to creating value.
