CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

Short definition

Software that records interactions between a sales team and its leads/customers. Focus is on data capture, not behaviour change.

01In practice

How teams actually use it.

A CRM centralises the record of every interaction with every lead — calls, emails, meetings, notes, deal stages. Popular CRMs in India include Zoho CRM, LeadSquared, HubSpot, Salesforce, Freshsales. CRMs are excellent at recording; they are not designed to reshape what reps do next. That job is what a Sales Behaviour OS fills. Most teams run CRM + Sales Behaviour OS as complementary layers.

02Worked examples

Three ways it shows up.

  • 01

    Zoho CRM: comprehensive customisation, weak on rep adoption.

  • 02

    Salesforce: enterprise-grade, overkill for Indian SMBs.
