Yet most companies are not getting the return they expected. Is it possible to make your customers happy, and, at the same time, improve ROI? Is there a practical, affordable way to get customers to tell you what they really want?
In Why CRM Doesn't Work, leading international marketing consultant Frederick Newell explains why it's time to change the game to CMR. CMR allows you to empower customers so they'll tell you what kind of information they want, what level of service they want to receive, and how they want you to communicate with them—where, when, and how often. It is a bold solution for business people at all levels in all industries who want to stay ahead of the curve in the development of customer loyalty. Newell shows by lesson and example why the current CRM isn't working, what needs to change, and how to put the CMR philosophy to work at your company—without additional expense. You'll read case studies of good and bad relationship marketing from companies as diverse as Kraft Foods, Procter & Gamble, Budweiser, Charles Schwab, Dell, IBM, Lands' End, Sports Authority, Radio Shack, and Staples.
With this book, you can build long-term relationships and bring in profits instead of relying on one-time sales. Why CRM Doesn't Work is important reading for companies of every size that are trying to satisfy and sell to today's consumer.

About this product: In today's global economy the customer has more and better choices than ever before, bringing on one of the biggest challenges the business community faces today - customer loyalty and retention.
To thrive in today's customer-driven economy a company needs to give customers what they really want. They don't just want the best prices, selection, and service; they want a relationship. CRM (customer relationship management) technology is designed to collect, store, and analyze data about customers, optimizing marketing, sales, customer service, back-office operations, and new product development. Yet, technology can't do it alone. In practice, CRM is a business strategy that evokes a corporate culture in which the customer is the center of the corporate universe and CRM technology is what enables that business strategy.
While CRM may start out as a means of linking different customer-facing functions, it must end up changing the way the entire company thinks about customers: who they are, what they want, and how they can be better served.
This book explores how to: * Develop and use a CRM strategy to integrate all channels and media of customer contact from the Internet through field sales into one system. * Know the customers and focus on their needs to better deploy resources and achieve lower costs, higher revenue, and increased customer loyalty. * Use CRM tools to increase profitability. * Link CRM tools with sales partners both up and down the value chain. * Choose the right customer-focused strategies and the right CRM systems. * Implement and deploy CRM for the best results.
