The tactics associated with a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy vary from stage to stage in relationship development. Evaluate the extent to which your organization’s CRM tactics align with its CRM goals and each relationship stage. Propose modifications your organization should follow in its CRM efforts to improve its effectiveness in maintaining and improving customer relationships.

Propose specific product, price, distribution, and promotion strategies for your organization’s offer that could produce a higher perceived value (total value) for the target audience. Justify the value components you used to design a high-value overall strategy.
