CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and sales automation are two related but distinct concepts. CRM is a strategy for managing interactions with customers and prospects with the goal of improving customer relationships and driving business growth. It involves collecting and analyzing customer data to gain insights into their needs and preferences, using that information to tailor marketing and sales efforts.

Sales automation, on the other hand, is a set of tools and processes designed to streamline and automate the sales process. It includes features such as lead management, opportunity tracking, and sales forecasting, and is focused on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the sales team.

While there is some overlap between CRM and sales automation, they serve different purposes and are used by different teams within an organization. CRM is typically used by marketing and customer service teams, while sales automation is used by the sales team.
