The Leading Companies and Hottest Trends and Technologies in Customer Service, Marketing, and Sales: The 2022 CRM Top 100 – Destination CRM

npressfetimg-7495.png

Welcome to our fourth annual “CRM Top 100” issue, where we highlight the hottest trends and technologies in the three pillars of CRM—customer service, marketing, and sales—as well as the 100 leading providers.

The year so far has brought many challenges—war abroad and continuing supply chain disruptions are causing global inflation, and efforts to tame it at home are contributing to growing economic uncertainty; and of course, underlying everything, COVID is still with us, even as vaccination and better treatments have helped blunt its impact. But these trying circumstances have only reinforced the importance of digital transformation as a way to cut costs, increase efficiency, and meet customers where they are.

This has translated into a greater reliance on a remote workforce, aided by artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistants to handle routine queries and tasks; new digital support and marketing channels, like social media messaging apps, conversational AI, and, further down the road, the metaverse; and, perhaps paradoxically, a greater emphasis on training so that agents, marketers, and sales reps are better able to handle complex queries, engage in more personal outreach, and balance technical demands with customer interactions.

Click on the links below for more about how the shift to digital is reshaping the ways in which companies and their customers interact in the post-pandemic normal, and check out our list of the top 100 solution providers that are making these changes possible.
