CRM Watchlist 2013 is underway - at least the registrations are. But we are also 5+ weeks out before the final submissions are due. One last reminder for everyone - at least via blogs.

This is a teaser of posts to come on some of the work and thinking I'm doing on CRM related acquisitions, definitions of things like customer experience, CRM, customer engagement, big data and a few things that I think would be of interest for you. Consider this a series of excerpts from posts I haven't written yet.
