Introduction

Customer Relationship Management is a unique and effective management method in which professionals consistently maintain two-way communication with their prospective, current and inactive customers in order to gain a deeper understanding of their needs while delivering personal and compelling solutions throughout the business relationship.

CRM addresses the following issues:

  • How can you retain clients and increase your reve­nues when the competition is making concerted efforts to win your business?
  • How can you differentiate yourself from your com­petition?
  • How do you maintain a steady flow of business from new and existing customers?

This knowledge development programme explores all the activities directed toward establishing, developing, and maintaining successful customer relationships. The focus of this practical and highly interactive workshop is on developing long-term relationships and improving corporate performance through customer loyalty and customer retention.
