The Best WordPress CRM Plugins for 2020: A Complete Guide

You’ve probably heard of a CRM, even if you don’t currently use one. The good news is that now—yes, now—is the perfect time for you to implement a CRM and positively affect your business. A CRM is a tool that tracks all of the customer relationships your business has. Maybe you haven’t yet made the plunge to invest in this type of technology. A CRM is the best way to track all of the interactions various contacts have with your company. With a CRM, it’s easier for you to reach out to a website visitor and turn them into a customer, or to get in touch with a loyal customer to make an additional sale. A CRM keeps track of your leads and customers, their previous interactions with your company, their contact information, and other important details. Tracking all of that is nearly impossible without a CRM.
