Currently, a high percentage of the ownership of this industry is in the hands of the government, but with the emergence of some private banks, competition has also started in this industry, but despite this, it is very far from the level of global banking. In fact, the banking system in any country is one of the most important elements in the formation of economic structures, which is considered to determine the path of development or backwardness of countries. On the other hand, the examination of different views about the performance of banks shows that many variables can be effective in it, among these variables is the customer communication system[1].

With the passing of the traditional economy and the fierce competition in new dimensions, the customer has become the main pillar and axis of all the organizations' activities; In such a way that from a competitive point of view, the survival and continuity of life of organizations depends on identifying and attracting new customers and maintaining existing customers (Shaaban Allahi Vahidari, 2013). Customer relationship management is a relatively new management concept. A new approach that combines various elements such as technology, manpower, information resources and work processes to create a business that looks 100% to its customers. Currently, a high percentage of the ownership of this industry is in the hands of the government, but with the emergence of some private banks, competition has also started in this industry, but despite this, it is very far from the level of global banking. Gaining competitive advantage requires improving the services provided. By discovering the relationship between performance and customer relationship management, different banks can better understand their weaknesses and, as a result, better understand their customers' needs and try to solve them. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between customer relationship management and performance in the banking industry. Because marketing and its philosophy is to discover customer needs and meet them in the best possible way (Taherpour Kalantari, Tayibi Tolo, 2019). In the first chapter of the present research, the statement of the problem, the importance and necessity of the research, the theoretical framework of the research, the research hypotheses, and the conceptual and operational definitions of the research variables are discussed in order to obtain a general view of the present research.

    1-2) Statement of the problem

    Today, the economic and commercial progress of the country depends on the progress of the banking industry in line with other industries of the country as well as the banking industries of other advanced countries.. Currently, a high percentage of the ownership of this industry is in the hands of the government, but with the emergence of some private banks, competition has also started in this industry, but despite this, it is very far from the level of global banking. In fact, the banking system in any country is one of the most important elements in the formation of economic structures, which is considered to determine the path of development or backwardness of countries (Al-Ishaq, 2008). For this reason, examining the commercial performance of banks can be very important. In fact, performance shows how an organization reaches its mission and related goals, performance implies starting from a certain situation and reaching a precise goal, which may include several target points such as market share, sales volume, employee motivation, customer satisfaction, quality level, etc. (Boisvert, Hugues, 2006). Examining different perspectives on performance shows that many variables can be effective in it, among these variables is the customer communication system[1]. (Mamoun & et al., 2011) Customer relationship management is a strategic concept that creates loyalty, satisfaction, and customer retention and profitability for the organization. (Javalgi et al., 2006) Customer relationship management is a set of methods that provide a solid, coherent and integrated view of customers across the entire business to ensure that each customer receives the highest level of service (etal, 2005 & Karakostas). According to Sin, Tse and Yim[2], the dimensions of customer relationship management are: 1. Focus on key customers [3], 2. CRM organization [4] 3. Knowledge management [5] and 4. Snow-based CRM [6] (Mamoun & et al., 2011). These dimensions are the independent variables of the present research. Also, the commercial performance of the provincial banks is the dependent variable of the research. In this way, the main question of the research is as follows:

    Do the dimensions of customer relationship management have an effect on the commercial performance of banks in the province?

    1-3) The importance and necessity of research

    The real value of any organization is to attract new customers and retain previous customers. It is important for organizations to understand that the value is not only in more information and more advanced technology, but also in having the knowledge of customer relationship management. If businesses convert customer data into knowledge and use it to improve relationships with customers, it will create customer loyalty, which brings the following benefits (Alwani, Karimi, 2018).

    - Low cost of attracting new customers,

    - Reduction of sales costs,

    - High customer profitability,

    - Evaluation of profitability,

    - Creation of constant value from the business. Customers,

    - Optimizing service channels and attracting new customers.

    Today, customer relationship management has received a lot of attention due to globalization, increased competition, market maturity and the rapid development of technology in businesses. Customer relationship management is considered a key business strategy, so a company needs to focus on the needs of its customers to survive. The trend of increasing competition and decreasing customer loyalty made companies move from product-oriented to customer-oriented. Here, the focus is more on customer needs than product features. (Liou, 2009) Today, customer relationship management is increasingly considered in all businesses to maintain long-term customer effects in a competitive environment. Customer relationship management is a philosophy that anticipates customer needs with the aim of getting target customers with the right product, at the right time, and in the right place (Chan & Cho, 2009). Customer relationship management increases competitiveness for many organizations and increases revenue and reduces operational costs. Managing effective and efficient relationships with customers increases customer loyalty and return rates. Customer relationship management in organizations evaluates customer loyalty and profitability through criteria such as repeat purchase process, cost spent, and customer retention (Chen & Popovich, 2003)
