Product Description

Product Description
This volume is about building and delivering great customer experiences. Many companies neglect this, but the physical execution and emotional impact of customer experiences, companies and brands may ultimately determine customer satisfaction and loyalty and commercial success. With the use of examples and cases, the authors show that this is key for all companies and organizations.

From the Author
Interviewing over 20 Senior Business leaders to gain their thoughts for this book was a real pleasure and shows the great work that is already underway to Build Great Customer Experiences. Too many books, in our view, focus on new companies who have started with blank sheets of paper. This is not where most companies find themselves. We have focussed on well established companies and use examples from this enviroment as we believe this is where most people find themselves today. We have strived to make this book engaging, and readable by giving down to earth examples in an effort to make the book live. We hope you have a good read and if you want to discuss any matters arising you can contact us via our web site.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aha, this is the answer, 30 Sep 2002
This is one of the simplest and most engaging books I've ever read. It contains profound messages that are put over in a simple manner making it very easy to read.

The book is packed with practical advice on how to actually go about exceeding customers' expectations. A must read for everyone in our partnership.

At last this is the answer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Profits from Customer Loyalty, 5 Nov 2002
Shaw and Iven's book fills the gap between the What and the How in managing customer loyalty. They demonstrate across a range of industries that turning WHAT into HOW in Customer Experience is possible and profitable. Well written and well researched this is a practical handbook which should change Customer Experience for the better. I recomend this book to any business interested in attracting new customers and retaining them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Innovation and practicality, 19 Oct 2002
By Dave Hillman (Leighton Buzzard, Beds United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Innovative, fresh and most importantly practical - I was particularly impressed with the way the authors have referenced best practice across different industries - and laced in the views of senior business leaders in the UK and the States on the Customer Experience - I shall be purchasing a copy for every single one of my team - and insisting that they read and implement it.
