You'll remember that we're pursuing a common task throughout the Project assignments in all Modules -- that is, the development of a CRM audit/plan for a company or organization you've chosen. Specifically, for the Session Long Project for this Module, you are to continue researching the CRM practices of your target firm or organization, with particular emphasis on decisions about products, pricing, and related issues.
- How has technology changed the way CRM is performed with respect to advertising, communication and promotion. How important are blogs, posting boards and comment sites to the customer and company ?
