This Christmas, I was sitting around with the in-laws after the presents were opened, when my father-in-law asked me a question that has probably been nagging him for a long time. “What is it that you do?” he said.

Explaining what that acronym is and what it encompasses was pretty tough — not because my father-in-law is dense, but because CRM is a technology and a discipline, an umbrella term that covers a host of areas within business, and a continuously evolving set of ideas that changes as customer behavior changes.
