These are important considerations, but they do not take the customer experience into account. Customers are not loyal to businesses that focus on these areas alone. The goal of CRM is to provide a complete view of the customer experience with the organization. When an organization understands all the interactions that form the customer experience, it gains important information about its customers needs. The organization can then use this information to be more effective at meeting customers current and future needs. It can also identify customers whose needs cannot be met profitably.
