Rating: Summary: Good web stuff Review: Excellent section on turning your web into a selling machine
Rating: Summary: Inspiring Review: I read this book from cover-to-cover - a rare occurrence in itself - and found that the authors not only expressed their concepts and case studies in a compelling manner, but also created a wonderful blueprint for any company that is seriously interested in nurturing long-term customer relationships. It is a marvellous synthesis of Rogers and Peppers earlier works and deserves a place on every corporate manager's bookshelf. The only area that I would like to have seen addressed more thoroughly is that of the key (and often killer!) relationship between IT and other functions. Overall, however, this is a book that will inspire a new breed of competitive differentation. The authors not only support their information with a superb web site, but the information contained in this inexpensive book will save decision-makers tens of thousands of dollars in consulting fees.

Rating: Summary: Practical handbook for managing customer relationships Review: The authors call it a "book of lists" and that is how I use it - a valuable series of checklists for managing customer relationships better. Chapter two is called "Quickstart" and it has some compelling questions, example: find the customers who have complained about your product or service, more than once in the last year and babysit their orders, call them and check up on your progress". Just imagine that you were that customer and how much you'd appreciate that approach. For another book with some good checklists try Seth Godin's "Permission marketing" Chapters 4, 5 and 6 cover differentiating customers by value, interacting with them and customising. The "Rules of Engagement with Customers" on page 98 are interesting. These chapters stongly send you in the direction of different treatment for different customers. For another book with some new examples of best practice, take a look at Cram's "Customers that Count" Finally I recommend the section in chapter 11 on targeting sales force compensation and commission to retention of valuable customers. This is good practice in putting company strategies into effect. If this is of interest, also look at Burnett's "Handbook of Key Customer Relationship managment"
Rating: Summary: Good for the Mom and Pop outfit - not Fortune 500 Review: The entire "one-to-one" concept is only feasible for small companies. Peppers and Rogers Group gives examples of "florists sending reminders of your mother's birthday" and "dry cleaners keeping your extra buttons" and so forth to retain customers (and eventually charge more for their services, becuase the customer is "locked in"), but these concepts don't translate to Fortune 500 companies. Ford Motor Company (one of PRG's clients) recently laid off 5,000 executives. You know their CRM campaign was out the door along with rented plants and weekly bagel breakfasts...see how many companies PRG gloated about in the past (Kozmo.com, mykidsbenefit, Mobshop, etc. etc.) are out of business. Plus PRG laid off a bunch of people of their own recently. Peppers and Rogers Group is definitely a fair weather friend to these large firms...
