K-12 Customer Relationship Management— CONNECTing the Dots

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a standard tool used in daily functions of the business world. But what is a CRM exactly? 

CRM helps businesses build a relationship with their customers that, in turn, creates loyalty and customer retention. Since customer loyalty and revenue are both qualities that affect a company’s revenue, CRM is a management strategy that results in increased profits for a business. At its core, a CRM tool creates a simple user interface for a collection of data that helps businesses recognize and communicate with customers in a scalable way. — Forbes.com

We know what you’re thinking, “What does this tool that businesses use to gain insights, keep customers happy, and remain competitive have to do with K-12?”

Let’s connect the dots.

• Your school or district exists to serve your community.
• Essentially, the families that reside and work in your community are your customers.
• You provide a critical service to your community and the families within it.
• Each student that you enroll equates to funding (i.e., revenue) for your school and district.

Therefore, the concept of this customer-centric business model is not only relatable in K-12 but also instrumental in the long-term sustainability of your school or district.

In other words, the business world’s customer relationship management tool equates to education’s need for a family relationship management platform.
