+1. I have always emphasize how VRM and CRM fit together to create a win-win. The biggest missing piece has been, "But how can VRM actually work?" Without personal cloud infrastructure, that question is very hard to answer. It's like one hand clapping.With personal cloud infrastructure, you add the second hand clapping, and suddenly VRM + CRM can become a reality.On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 12:22 PM, Hervé Le Jouan < " target="_blank"> > wrote:
CRM is a business terminology and will never be a consumer terminology. But that is also why VRM is a great name as in businesses minds, they can easily make the link, in a symmetric way, with their CRM, which they know very well.If we bring good services to consumers, then at some point, they will get "VRM" as businesses get "CRM", but it will take some time.So first: bring good services to consumers "VRM based" and keep pushing VRM for businesses as it resonates to them.HervéOn 21 mars 2013, at 14:17, Katherine Warman Kern < " target="_blank"> > wrote:Vendors should track customers and let them know what they have to sell.What if Vendors don't want to track customers - they just want to do what they go well (e.g., make shoes).

It was the shoe store. It is where shoe-receptive customers went ti see everything available.
