NEW YORK, April 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Data published by Grand View Research, Inc. indicates that the global customer relationship management market (CRM) is expected to reach USD 81.9 billion by 2025. The quick rise of popularity of CRM solutions across both big and small companies is explained by the ability to carry out complex tasks and business with ease. The research also indicates that one of the most interesting trends observed in the CRM marketplace is the growing demand of cloud deployed solutions. While this technology has been in the industry for a long time, its widespread adoption by small and large businesses was underestimated. nFusz, Inc. (OTC: FUSZ), Salesforce.com, Inc.

The rise in social CRM and mobility has also been driving the growth of a new genre of customer services and relationship management.

Some CRMs offer the ability to track deal stages and reasons for closed-lost and closed-won deals."
