The hiring manager wants to get a better understanding of the customer relationship management (CRM) software system you have experience with and if it is comparable to what they use. The hiring manager is anticipating answers that show the candidate is not intimidated by new technology.

Review the job description to determine what software they use because it will probably be listed in the required skills section. If it's a system you have not used or are familiar with, do your research.

"We recently replaced our existing CRM with Salesforce. The training was thorough and the implementation was well done.
