Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren t being reached, who don t want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God s presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God s Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms,and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Praise for LOYALTY MYTHS'Keiningham et al. have fired a full broadside at the 'managerially correct' and seemingly unassailable notion that customer loyalty is all that matters. In examples, including First Chicago, Tansa, and Ryanair and through broadly researched data and analysis, they show that knowing what customers want and will pay for is the issue. This is a great place to start when doing a full review of the effectiveness of your marketing spend to find advantage in your competitors' inabilities to differentiate themselves.'-GEORGE STALK, Senior Vice President, The Boston Consulting Group and coauthor of Hardball: Are You Playing to Play or Playing to Win 'This book is a must-read for every executive who is interested in reshaping their loyalty programs. The authors have presented the 53 myths with excellent supporting materials, which make everyone rethink their firm's loyalty strategy. I have no doubt that this book will revolutionize the thinking behind the loyalty concept.'-V. KUMAR, ING Chair Professor, University of Connecticut and coauthor of Customer Relationship Management: A Databased Approach'Loyalty Myths provides great insight as to why simple answers never work in customer loyalty. The authors show, with many real-life examples, how businesses can go wrong in adopting an unquestioned mantra of 'customer loyalty is all that counts' and illustrate how it will most likely not help, but hurt profitability. Finally, the book gives managers a guide to get started on a more comprehensive approach to customer loyalty that already whets one's appetite for the sequel to this must-read book.'-PETER JUEPTNER, Executive Vice President, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company'Loyalty Myths is a must-read for anyone who manages customer loyalty.

The revealing story Steve and Tom tell about two partners entering a business out of passion, in an industry they knew little about, being seriously undercapitalized, with an overly naive business plan, and their ultimate success, is an inspiring tale.'-Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
