<p>Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is a process that focuses on initiating, maintaining, and retention of long-term customer relationships with the help of information technology, to achieve better economic performance. Therefore, the paper examines the effects of CRM dimensions on financial and marketing performance, and moderates the role of an image on these relationships. The analysis included 106 organizations on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The paper uses descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and moderation regression analysis. The obtained results show that there is a negative statistically significant impact of CRM technology on financial and marketing performance.
