over the "crm" table. And you're including the total row-count as a
separate column in every row you get back, although you really only
need this piece of information once.
Since you're fetching all of the "crm" table anyway, why not get rid
of the COUNT(*) entirely and just keep a count on the client-side of
the total number of rows you've fetched?
