The need for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to connect with customers is increasing. Understanding customer behavior is necessary for running a business, especially during a pandemic. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) helps MSMEs to manage this connection. However, in its implementation, MSMEs experience obstacles such as not understanding the CRM concept, the absence of a strong leader, and limited resource support. Therefore, it is crucial to know how MSMEs should carry out CRM. The study conducted through this literature study aims to analyze the application of CRM by MSMEs and provide policy advice to the government to help MSMEs during the pandemic. The results of the study show that the most crucial thing MSMEs must do is to understand what kind of CRM is needed. This will affect the choice of the most suitable type of CRM to run and how MSMEs are trying to run it. A balance between the three main elements in the CRM namely people, systems and processes, and technology, must be met. Therefore, the government can take a role both in the short and long term because of the importance of the role of MSMEs for the country's economy. In the short term, by providing training and mentoring support for MSMEs to go online. Meanwhile, for the long term, by providing support for technology infrastructure, product development, and distribution. In addition, the government can reflect on the Malaysian government, which makes MSMEs a part of politics.
