Roots of Customer Relationship Management
Managing Customer Relationships: A Strategic Framework, Second Edition
Don Peppers and Martha Rogers
If customers are key to competitive advantage, the main task of the enterprise becomes growing the value of the customer base.
To grow the value of the customer base, the enterprise must get, keep, and grow customers.
This kind of customer relationship management is an enterprise-wide strategy, not merely the implementation of the right technology or a quick add-on to one department.

The role of technology:
Although many believe CRM is a synonym for software, customer strategy involves analytical as well as operational processes.
Technological advancements in interactivity, such as the Internet, mobile technologies, and social media, have driven the growth capacity of CRM, but such technology is a means of managing customer relationships, not the end in itself.

Customer Retention and Enterprise Profitability
Managing Customer Relationships: A Strategic Framework, Second Edition
Don Peppers and Martha Rogers
Reichheld and Sasser (1990) found that a customer’s profitability increased with length of retention, based on four factors:
1. Increased purchases
2. Reduced operating costs
3. Referrals to other customers
4. Price premium (conversely, new customers usually pay lower introductory prices)
Additional benefit of retention: acquiring new customers is costly
