The Role of Call Centres in Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
CRM is a loosely defined term that encompasses a range of activities relating to customer engagement.
Just like we invest time and money managing personal relationships – talking, meeting, gifting, eating out, going out – the same way organisations invest in managing customer relationships.
Some organisations may manage customer relationships in a formal process oriented fashion, while some may just do it in an informal way, while others just don’t manage their customer relationships at all.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) manifests itself in different ways. From lavish engagement of customers through gifting and rewards to good quality customer care , several initiatives fall under CRM.
One essential part of any CRM strategy or plan is to have a good contact centre. A contact centre can play several roles that are critical to CRM. Whether your customers are consumers or trade partners.
The role of the CRM call centre in your plan could be one or more of the following
Welcome and onboarding contact
Rewards and Loyalty program support

Special event invitations and RSVP
Customer retention of customers intending to cease relationship
