Analytical CRM involves analyzing customer data from various sources to gain insights into customer needs, behaviors, and preferences. This allows companies to design targeted marketing campaigns, customer retention strategies, and make management decisions. Analytical CRM uses data mining and predictive modeling to segment customers, identify the most profitable, and optimize cross-selling and upselling opportunities. When implemented effectively over time, analytical CRM can help companies acquire new customers, improve relationships with existing customers, increase loyalty, and reduce customer churn.
