Why you should read Complaint Management
When companies implement Customer Relationship Management (CRM), they often find that their number of complaints shoots up. Bernd Stauss and Wolfgang Seidel candidly explain that often, companies actively discourage complaints with processes that are so barrier-ridden that consumers switch to another company’s products rather than negotiate the maze. As an alternative, Stauss and Seidel present a CRM-based complaint management system that, for enlightened corporate citizens, can become a strategic asset and even an indirect revenue source. Occasionally, they get a little carried away with their "consultantese" and terms like "process owner" and "complaint owner." Nevertheless, the seven-page complaint-management checklist at the end of the book is particularly valuable. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book to CRM managers who want to know what their customers really think.
