framework for understanding and evaluating of analysis of key factors on success and customer relationship management. important challenge of organizations managers especially Iranian organizations is performing strategies which is adjusted with thinking through systematic method. The philosophy of knowing key factors of success, considered costumer relationship management is a main line of practical standard for every commercial organization.in this research, indexes and criteria as success key factors which are important for applying costumer relationship management in Golrang company, and considering four key factors(the fours an key costumers, using knowledge management proportional organizing and technology)and by using their examining on costumer relationship management in Golrang company is considered as a final goal of this research. Research Theoretical base Every organization for performing its goal s success, factors. These factors that are predetermined are called critical success factors which lack of them come no goal is achieved. The difference of critical success factor with key performance indicator can be explained as: critical success factor are essential factors for a strategy while key performance indexes helps measuring organization development rate in respect of determined goals.so in most of articles and researches these are synonymous. discussion of customer relationship of management is pronounced as a enormous strategy and changes organizations view from production, product and market orientation to customers, requirement and maintaining instead of absorption, examining main factors for reaching organization to this view has a determined role on this system and its performance success of critical success factors in performing customer relationship management in an organization can mention awareness and support of top management, as customer relationship management make changes in strategic level,top manager awareness on cases like human resource resistance against changes reexamining of mission, organizations views and aims and contacts principle with costumer is determinable.in todays competitive word,organization believes they can in crease or maintain market share only with consumer orienting,performing requirements and their needs. Consumers know he is right, and he play an effective role in growth, continues and maintain of an organization, so he is searching distinguished services according to his trends. maybe of the most important reasons of customer relationship managements failure in organization com mention lack of customer orientation culture in organization, personnel s resistance against required changes, lack of the understanding of settlement of customer relationship management system. necessity of customer relationship management against lack of its success causes researches continues seriously weak point of performing this project, the result of this survey shows that for successful performing of costumer relationship management,factors must be determined and made as a foundation of performance of project, which is said key performance indicators.as the concept of customer relationship management overshadow 3 key factors of human resources,technology, and procedures,organization and each of these factors has an effective role in achieving goals and aims of organizations, critical success indictor are defined in a way that involves all of these factors.so some of the critical success indicators are essential for performing customer relationship management system. Meanwhile, customer is very important for every business in competition condition. Customer is vital in every trade. Customer has a selection choice where there is competition, and today s world banks and recently Iran knows customers orientation the most effective way for maintaining and loyalty of customer.by the necessity of a comprehensive system in performing customer orienting organizing,customer relationship management approach was created at the beginning of 1990s and completed gradually. This system helps real dignity of costumers in organization with focus on marketing activity, sale and services. According to performed researches and experiences of pioneers companies and institutes in establishing there 3 main components in success of customer relationship management are effective: 1. Human resource or in other word customer inclination organizational culture. 2. Effective and efficient technology 3. Comprehersive and desirable procedures of customer relationship management. Costumer relationship management became popular as a new statement at the middle of 1990.Although CRM is one of the mast important of Electronic discussion, there is no clear definition about it some of costumer relationship management definition by specialists and analyzers are as follow: Kodol,1998,defines costumers relationship management as combination of procedures and technologies of work about costumer,or Kola cota and Robinson 2000,introduce costumers relationship management as an integration of sale, marketing and services strategy and consider it as a factor of prevention of and dimension 115
view about costumer and mention the role of integrated procedures and different departments related to performing costumer relationship management with the goal of increased services to costumer.(ngai,2005) In another definition, Armstrong defines costumer relationship management like this: the total procedure of creating and maintain the relation with profitable costumers through presenting more value to costumer and getting more satisfaction.( Payne & Frow,2004) Although costumer relationship is a new statement, its principle has been existed for a long time. Salespersons always propagate close relation with costumer. Profitability of costumer was significantly considered for a long time, because many organizations were organized according to production or the relationship channels which is in front of costumer.in a similar way, the concept of mass customizing was discussed for one decade. All the mentioned cases was as theoretical concepts in form of wishes no a real commerce but nowadays, experience and analysis of costumers value and mass production of orders is possible because of advances in information and communication technology.( GREEP et al.2005) The focused commercial strategy is costumers relationship management which in creases costumers loyalty by presenting more private services,some know costumer relationship management as a managerial approach which includes identification, absorption,development and maintain successful relation with costumers for even to improve profitability. The researches show that5% of increase in maintains and 95% of increase is for value for organization.(green berg,2002) Customer relationship management is closely related with the concepts of relation and marketing of database and its aim is improvement and increase of valuable and private relation with costumer through providing production and private services and conform to costumers needs. (Lin et al.2003) The integrated approach is for management of relations. The aim of costumer relationship management is obtaining competitive preference in costumer management and finally its aim is increasing of profit rate.(mckim,2002) Although even costumer relationship management system transform to the most popular option for performing, success changes to some things unreal. In this situation only 3%of companies, develops successful costumer relationship management projects, 17%ofcompanies considers projects from total view, 35%of companies have started project without any coordination and 45%of them have not evaluated costumer relationship management.(ko et al.2008) There are many factor which influence on costumers relationship management and procedures,the work on important success factors should encourage better performance methods. Many studies of success key factors can be listed of factors, but a little more guidancepresents the primary challenges at the beginning of, Costumer relationship management, integration of above mentioned factors in organizational, individual limits and their capabilities. Nowadays the biggest demand of organization is defining an appropriable system of costumer relationship management and successful relationship management with costumers. Customer relationship management is an approach for making a mutual value that identifies all aspect of customer, makes customer's knowledge about products or organization services, so examine of such a valuable concept in industry which it principle is an customer, is very necessary.

Sometimes it is necessary to organize proportionally to achieve goads, and with the help of this activity, the total goal and the main mission of organization became more detailed and reaching then is achieved. We live only in new era but also in new millennium in this era, various expressions are used like: learning era, infra industrial, information age, third wave or knowledge society to describe the present situation most experts believe one of most important mentioned subjects in this era a knowledge management.

With due attention to Toki approximate test for average different among groups of record services among different group of organization CSF, success key factor among groups with record services higher than 11-15, 20 in regard to sig %30 Toki-- test and table and average difference of 0/5967, error standard of 0/20927 there is a meaningful difference. No difference is seen among rest of group with CSF variables. Discussion and conclusion After filling inquiry by managers, nurses, salesperson, employees, and service in the company with education degree of Ph.d, M.A, B.A, College degree, diploma, data was examined and after k-s test it is cleared that data wasn t normal, so Spearman nonparametric test was used. The response of this test between 2 customer relationship management and success key factors variables, 65% and response of proportional organizational and customer relationship management 37% response management customer relationship management and focus on key customers 54% and between technology and customer relationship management 41% and customer relationship management and success key factor 56% is obtained. So with the respect to error less than 1% and assurance of 99%, there is a meaningful relation among all hypothesis. It is worth to note that between customer relationship management and success key factors variables are quantified variables and makes the main hypothesis, there is more relation and there is more correlation rate. Between customerrelationship management and knowledge management and focus on key customers with regard to response there is more correlation. It is worth to mention we address to examining research. Side hypothesis if this research was that there is a meaning full difference in customer relationship management in average scare for individual for organizational position.the meaning fullness devil of 0.003 which is smaller than 0.05 was often the obtained result of variance analysis test. So there is a meaningful difference between 2 groups, test is used for clarifying groups which in respect to the result of manager and employee groups with average difference 0158505 and meaning fullness level 0.002 there is a meaningful difference. This research is for Golrang's industrial company which includes Sam sub companies (Ave, Softlan, Active, Oila, famila, merci) which are used and industrial product and this company is producer and export to some countries like Turkey. In today's Competitive world that the biggest challenge is being competitive, top manage tries to formula of this problem. We help top managers and big business companies and service.
