Modern technology has made it easier and less expensive to reach a greater number of potential customers than ever before.
That said, it may be harder than ever to get and keep their attention long enough to turn prospects into long lasting customers. That’s why more companies turn to CRM (customer relationship management) software. It’s supposed to help automate important processes aimed at finding, catching and keeping good customers.
In fact, according to Gartner, companies spent more on CRM than any other kind of software. They bought nearly $40 billion worth in 2017, alone. Gartner says it’s the fastest-growing software category. Some estimates suggest, by 2023, CRM will be a $73 billion market!
Now, we’re focusing on AI-driven CRM.
As these numbers illustrate, companies of all sizes turn to CRM more and more. This includes small businesses.
Many small businesses experience tangible success using CRM already. Despite those successes, far more small businesses either aren’t using CRM software at all. Or, they only using a fraction of what it can actually do.
