What is CRM (Customer Relationship Management)?

Customer relationship management software — tracking leads, customers, team activity and the sales pipeline.

Detailed definition

The core role of a CRM is to systematise the lead → opportunity → customer journey. Common CRMs: HubSpot (freemium, marketing, sales and service integrated), Pipedrive (sales-focused, simple), Salesforce (enterprise), Zoho (widely used in Türkiye). Essential in the B2B, healthcare, real estate and education sectors.

Examples
