9. Who is a Customer?
The “C” in CRM can have a narrow definition or a wide
one. For instance, customers can include not only those
who buy from you, but also your suppliers, your partners,
your employees and your investors. Each of these
“customer groups” will have different needs that have to
be managed. For the purpose of this booklet, we will focus
on the “customer” as someone who buys your products or
services. This can be either a business customer or an
individual.

10. The importance of CRM in business
A first is how customer-centricity increases the productivity of
core business processes such as sales, support and marketing.
Better lead qualification and reduced time spent sending leads
through the sales funnel can increase sales by as much as 29%. A
proactive Visma business unit in Finland recently finished an 18
month CRM project, and even managed to double its sales per
salesperson(!). Similarly, for support, customer-centricity
increases customer satisfaction, which can reduce churn rates
with as much as 27%.

13. Strategically significant customers
"Customer relationship management focuses on strategically significant markets. Not all customers are
equally important" Therefore, relationships should be built with customers that are likely to provide value
for services Building relationships with customers that will provide little value could result in a loss of
time, staff and financial resources.

14. Markers of strategically significant customers
Strategically significant customers need to satisfy at least one of three conditions (3):1. Customers with
high life-time values (i.e. customers that will repeatedly use the service in the long-term e.g. Nurses in a
hospital library) 2. Customers who serve as benchmarks for other customers. In a hospital library
consultants who teach o.n academic courses 3. Customers who inspire change in the supplier
