I love CRM as a discipline, but I have no illusions about its ability to survive in the cruel world. The reality is that customer relationships are fragile things; they need the right environment to flourish and be profitable. There are a host of things that can scuttle these relationships, and most of them are entirely out of the control of the person tasked with CRM. They span the company from top to bottom, and they demand the attention of the most senior executives if they are to be handled properly.
