Companies should not underestimate the importance of change
management that is inherent in any CRM project.
CRM initiatives often ignore the fact that it is the people within the organization who
make them successful [21].
These people need to have the right
customer service skills and knowledge of the purpose and functions of
CRM. Also, they must be prepared for the technological changes that
would affect the way they work.
CRM strategies should recognize that
not all customer relationships are equally profitable.
The focus of CRM should be on serving those customers who have the potential of
delivering the highest lifetime value to the firm [39].
