Berikut ini beberapa definisi khusus yang dikemukakan oleh pakar – pakar manajemen terkemuka di dunia mengenai CRM :
“ The infrastructure that enables the delineation of and increase in Customer value, and the correct means by which to motivate valuable Customer to remain loyal-indeed, to buy again.” (Dyche,2002,p4)
“ A customer relationship management (CRM) system, by its simplest definition, is a process to compile information that increases understanding of how to manage an organization’s relationship with its customers.” (Zigmund, 2003,p3)
“ The process of acquiring, retaining and growing profitable Customrs.” (Brown, 2000, p8)
“CRM is defined as an integrated sales , marketing, and service strategy that precludes lone showman-ship and that depends on coordinated enterprise-wide actions.” (Kalakota & Robinson, 2001, p172)
“A CRM system attempts to provide an integrated approach to all aspects of interaction a company has with its customers, including marketing, sales and support. The goal of a CRM system is to use technology to forge a strong relationship between a business and its customers. To look at CRM in another way, the business is seeking to better manage its own enterprise around customer behaviors”. (Martin et al, 2005, p.194)
“ CRM uses information technology to create a cross-functional enterprise system that integrates and automates many of the customer serving processes in sales, marketing, and product services that interact with a company’s customers. CRM systems also create an IT framework that integrates all of these processes with the rest of a company’s business operations. CRM systems consist of a family of software modules that perform the business activities involved in such front office processes. CRM software provides the tools that enable a business and its employees to provide fast, convenient, dependable, and consistent service to its customers.” (O’Brien, 2002, p.130).
