Format:Paperback
None of the ideas in this book are ground breaking, but the author does a great job of explaining how they translate into loyal customers for your business. There is no abstract psychological babbling lots of similar books have. The author clearly shows the reader what his points are, then uses case studies from both his business and others to reinforce the concepts.
Every business owner should have this book, and I'd recommend buying copies for all the employees as well. It will pay off in the long run.

My wife gave me her copy of "Customers For Life" that she had received a corporate retreat. When I first considered opening a gentlemen's club I pulled it off the shelf hoping to find a few useful "tidbits." This book completely changed my concept of customers and business success. In 3 short months of operation I have put a substantial dent into a highly competeitive market using Mr. Sewell's approach to servicing his customers. As a condition of employment with my company, everyone from waitresses and doorman to my general managers must read this book and attend weekly meetings to discuss how to apply it's principals at my place of business. The only business book I can honestly say is worth its wait in gold.

Sewell Cadillac is a world class organization visited annually by Japanese Businesses to evaluate his style of management. This is the most readable book on business since the One Minute Manager. Pracital business experiences which can be applied to any business not just a car dealership. Example: 'Threat a customer as you would your best friend Don't charge for the small stuff.' I bought 34 copies for all my managers. You'll pick it up read it in a few hours and then read it again.
