Why can CRM revenue be overstated?

Because the customer already has a relationship with the brand and may interact with several messages before buying. Attribution windows can therefore give CRM credit for demand that would partly have occurred anyway. That does not make CRM unimportant; it means we should distinguish assisted revenue from incremental effect.
