Client relationship management
CRM with a capital “C”
If 30 years in this industry has taught us anything, it’s that the client is what drives success. When it comes to CRM, the initial C – client – should be capitalized to emphasize its importance.

You can also set monitor and contact preferences (including reporting and sales-marketing) so that your relationship with the client matches their requirements.
