The key stages and principles of transition to a customer–centric model are formulated, and the maturity levels of the customer relationship management system are highlighted. Based on the analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, the features and key approaches to managing customer service, development and strategic planning in the activities of telecommunications companies are determined. Objective differences are established in building relationships with B2C and B2B client segments.
