CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. And it's something you may want to learn about now that you have an e-commerce business. There are many different CRM platforms available.
CRM applications on the market today do a lot of things (maybe too many things). But, in general, they are meant to do one thing well: help you relate to your customers. CRM tools collect data about your customers, help you contact them, set up appointments, provide support, and much more.
