The Case for Strategic CRM
CRM holds the richest customer data in the business. It understands how customers think, behave and buy.
But without the access or authority to act on that insight, CRM ends up stuck in execution mode. Sending campaigns. Chasing briefs. Reacting to data it can’t fully use.
At the same time, the pressure is increasing:
- Acquisition is more expensive
- Loyalty is harder to earn
- Margins are under scrutiny
- Expectations are rising
CRM should be one of the most influential teams in the business. If it can’t use what it knows to shape strategy, that’s not just a missed opportunity. It’s a growth risk.
This Playbook helps CRM teams move beyond campaign delivery. It provides a clear path to greater influence, better performance and measurable commercial impact.
