Achieving effective Customer Relationship Management requires many organizations to adopt a new perspective. Consider the following:
* traditional customer service is something you 'do to' the customer
* modern Customer Relationship Management is 'done with' the customer
The second statement is emphasises the big differences between conventional traditional customer service, and the modern progressive CRM approach.
Your relationships with customers should be ongoing, cooperative, and built for the long term.

The cost of keeping existing customers is a tiny fraction of the cost of acquiring new customers.

* customers and the culture of exceeding of customer expectation

* customers being recognised and treated as partners
* the value of relationship-building being valued
* service being seen as a value-adding activity
* reward and recognition being based on customer focus ie., 'going the extra mile'
* evidence of corporate support for service activity
characteristics of excellent CRM
The following characteristics are associated with delivery of excellent CRM:
* reliability
* responsiveness
* accessibility
* safety
* courtesy
* consideration
* communication
* recognising the customer
* competence
