CRM: Customer relationship management: the practice, and the software, a business uses to manage relationships with customers and prospects — storing contacts, recording interactions, tracking deals and reporting on revenue.

Example

A five-person agency keeps every client email, meeting and proposal in one CRM so any account lead can pick up a relationship mid-stream.

Why it matters

It's the system of record for revenue; without one, relationships live in individual memories and inboxes.
