Product Description

Product Description
Every company strives for increasing customer satisfaction and loyalty. But, without effective complaint management, it's only a matter of time before the seemingly sweet company-client relationship may turn sour. Drawing from their extensive experience in customer service, Strauss and Seidel deliver thorough coverage of complaint management, from helping readers understand why customers complain to illustrating how to handle customer complaints to effectively measuring and analyzing complaints.

He is founder of "Servmark", a consulting company with the focus on topics in the field of the analysis, conception and implementation of complaint management, customer relationship management and services marketing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, 8 Sep 2005
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When companies implement Customer Relationship Management (CRM), they often find that their number of complaints shoots up. Berndt Stauss and Wolfgang Seidel candidly explain that often, companies actively discourage complaints with processes that are so barrier-ridden that consumers switch to another company's products rather than negotiate the maze. As an alternative, Stauss and Seidel present a CRM-based complaint management system that, for enlightened corporate citizens, can become a strategic asset and even an indirect revenue source. Occasionally, they get a little carried away with their "consultantese" and terms like "process owner" and "complaint owner." Nevertheless, the seven-page complaint-management checklist at the end of the book is particularly valuable. We strongly recommend this book to CRM managers who want to know what their customers really think.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not another marketing fad: complaints as a business process, 27 Jun 2005
By Adrian Edelman (Cranfield, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is not another marketing book praising how good you should treat your customers, even though it has one of the hot words in its title (CRM). Instead, it is a very thorough and rich analysis of all the elements that a service manager needs to consider if the issue of complaints falls near his/her area of responsibilities.

The authors take you through a precise and well structured account of all elements of the complaint management process. First they describe why and how customers are likely to complain; then they go into how to stimulate, receive, process, control, and analyze complaints, and then back to the likely customer reaction to your response as a manager. The last third of the book tackles the organizational and operational issues that you will need to sort out to implement these recommendations: human, organizational, and technological issues.

The first glance at the table of contents may put you off. It is probably too crowded... But be certain that you won't find another book out there with this depth of practical and no-nonsense tools.
