  1. What is the role of a Customer Data Platform (CDP) compared to a traditional CRM?

    Answer: A CDP unifies customer data from multiple sources into a single persistent profile for real-time activation

    A CDP aggregates data from all touchpoints into unified customer profiles that can be activated across marketing, sales, and service channels in real time.

  2. Which CRM feature helps prevent duplicate records by identifying and merging identical contact entries?

    Answer: Data deduplication / merge tool

    Deduplication tools scan for matching records based on fields like email or phone number and allow administrators to merge them into a single clean record.

  3. In a CRM context, what is 'customer segmentation'?

    Answer: Grouping customers by shared characteristics to enable targeted communication

    Customer segmentation groups contacts or accounts by shared traits—such as industry, purchase history, or behavior—so that tailored messages can be sent to each group.

  4. What is a 'single source of truth' in CRM technology?

    Answer: A centralized CRM database where all teams access and update the same accurate customer data

    A single source of truth means all departments rely on one authoritative CRM dataset, eliminating conflicting records across systems.

  5. Which type of CRM analytics focuses on predicting future customer behavior based on historical data?

    Answer: Predictive analytics

    Predictive analytics uses statistical models and machine learning on historical CRM data to forecast future behaviors such as churn risk or purchase likelihood.

  6. A company uses its CRM to automatically send a 'Happy Birthday' discount email to customers. What type of automation is this?

    Answer: Date-based / event-triggered automation

    Date-based or event-triggered automation fires an action when a specific date field (like a birthday) matches the current date.

  7. What does the term 'CRM adoption rate' measure within an organization?

    Answer: The percentage of users actively and consistently using the CRM system as intended

    Adoption rate tracks what proportion of intended users are regularly logging in and recording data in the CRM, reflecting the system's real-world utilization.
