The Little Cook Book of Customer Relationship Marketing

Description

The Recipe for Better Customer Relationships

Successful businesses are built on relationships.

Technology may support those relationships, but it can never replace the understanding, trust and communication that customers truly value.

The Little Cook Book of Customer Relationship Marketing explores the principles behind effective CRM, showing that successful customer management is not simply about databases and software—it is about putting the customer at the centre of every business decision.

More Than Just Technology

Too many CRM projects begin with selecting software.

The most successful organisations begin by understanding their customers.

Through a collection of practical “recipes”, Thom Poole explains how organisations can use customer information to improve sales, marketing and service, while avoiding many of the common mistakes that cause CRM projects to fail.

The book combines strategic thinking with practical advice, making CRM accessible to organisations of every size.
