CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software was originally designed with the aim of helping businesses of any size and type to build, maintain and grow relationships with new and existing customers. However, over time it developed in various directions and today, other than its primary function of establishing contact between companies and their customers, it offers a great lot of possibilities, helping businesses with marketing, accounting, managing sales, social media and other types of operational data in a usually very user-friendly manner. 

There are a lot of CRM software to choose from and even though the first factor when opting for one would probably be the size of your company, we bring you here the list of 5 CMR software that we found work the best for creative agencies.

When implementing CRM, pay attention to the post-installation speed. It can happen that everything works fine at the beginning, but over time you can face the problems. CRM starts to slow down and takes a long time to respond to requests. This article describes the most popular reasons for the slow performance of ERP, CRM, and other software.
