Praise for CRM Unplugged
 
"The authors supply countless examples of companies that have successfully implemented CRM, and show us the way to do the same."
-Philip Kotler
author of Marketing Insights from A to Z
 
"CRM is no silver bullet, but it is a golden opportunity for companies that take the time to integrate CRM tools with their own source of competitive advantage. This book outlines the steps that need to be taken to achieve success. I highly recommend it."
-Al Ries
coauthor of The Origin of Brands
 
"Turk and Bligh understand that Customer Relationship Management is not a software category; it's about supporting competitive advantage, enforcing demand-driven business processes, and applying continuous customer information and analytics to create long-term ROI. This no-nonsense guide describes the larger scope and context of CRM beyond sales, marketing, and customer service, and provides real-world examples and methodologies for making sense of the real goals of customer relationship management."
-Laura Preslan
Research Director, AMR Research
 
"CRM Unplugged is an excellent summary of how to approach a customer strategy within a company. I wish the book had been in print before we embarked on a major technology initiative in 2003. It would have been very useful for our executive team, and some of the mistakes we made could have been prevented."
-Jim McKnight
CEO, AutoTrader.com

Aus dem Klappentext

Experts estimate that more than fifty percent of all Customer Relationship Management (CRM) implementations will be seen as failures from a company's viewpoint. However, implemented the right way, CRM is useful, profit-enhancing, and even vital to businesses. Focusing on the implementation of effective customer strategy and driving return (i.e., through customer insight vs. simply loyalty), CRM Unplugged demonstrates how CRM should be defined, approached, and profitably applied to any size business.
 
CRM doesn't hinge on technology-it depends upon attracting and serving customers in more lucrative ways by changing how the collective parts of a business collaborate on customer activities. Written by two leading experts, this accessible book discusses how to consider technology as an enabler of new policies, processes, and collaboration so it plays a supporting, rather than a leading, role in CRM.
 
CRM Unplugged offers a variety of lessons learned from real-world companies that have implemented CRM. Since most investments in technology are costly, the dos and don'ts addressed in these cases are invaluable because they help the reader identify the high-impact areas of his or her business. CRM's big punch is its ability to strengthen these high-impact areas-those parts that comprise the unique competitive advantage of a business.
 
CRM Unplugged provides best practices for:
* Identifying why CRM is not creating returns
* Creating strategies for successful CRM implementation
* Achieving a positive ROI concerning CRM
 
Offering the most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of this hot topic, CRM Unplugged is a valuable, profit-increasing tool for CEOs, other senior managers (such as VPs), and project managers.
