Why you should read Why CRM Doesn't Work

Customer Management of Relationships (CMR) is not a tactic or gimmick - it’s a new way of looking at your business. Author Frederick Newell promises that CMR will put your customers where they should be: at the forefront of your company’s efforts. Newell, an international marketing consultant and leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) authority, explains that a strong relationship with customers is essential to success. Although his book is unnecessarily repetitive at times and poorly organized, he provides excellent advice for companies already on the road to improving their customer interactions. Valuable testimony from experts accompanies numerous case studies. Whether you took a ride on the CRM train, or not, if you want better customer relationships for your business, getAbstract.com thinks this book may be your ticket.
