Customer Relationship Management More Likely To Piss Off Customers
from the relate-this dept
One of the big consulting firms that was pushing lots of companies around the world to hire them to help implement big, costly CRM systems has now released a study saying that CRM systems are no good at all for customers. Most people feel that customer service is worse after companies set up such systems. Perhaps that's because most of these systems are focused on "automating" customer service. The last thing an upset customer wants is to be "automated," but to have their problem understood and handled professionally. So, now, does this same consulting firm go out and convince companies that it will help them un-implement their CRM systems?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
