More specifically, modern CRM systems enable you to capture information surrounding customer interactions and integrate it with every customer-related function and data point. The resulting information can then used be to create and automate a variety of processes that identify, and describe, valuable customers. Most important, these processes help you personalize new and ongoing interactions to cost-effectively acquire, stay close to, and retain these 'good' customers. What will it take to keep the good ones good (or make them better) -- and how can you get more of them? Can you improve the not-so-good ones?
