We all realize how important customers are. We all know what will help build a good relationship with our customers. Yet so often it is done badly. Unlike great products and low prices, great customer service is hard to copy. In a fiercely competitive world, differentiation is the name of the game.

Capturing Customers Hearts

analyzes companies where the product or the company itself generates a special reaction in a customer, something much more than brand loyalty  true affection. Building 12 components of charisma on the foundation of service delivery, it uses examples of best and worst practice to pinpoint the forces that will win new customers, keep them and capture their hearts.

Capture your customers' hearts  their loyalty will follow.

There has been a crucial focus on customer service for at least 15 years. So does this mean that we can concentrate on the next big thing? Not a chance. Survey after survey has shown that really good customer service is still the exception. And with customer expectations higher than ever, and the competition not standing still  especially with the emergence of the wired world  an outstanding customer relationship is the only safe way of building differentiation.

To make a customer relationship the driving force behind repeat business and differentiation calls for a quantum shift in thinking and doing; from customer friendliness to customer charisma. A business with charisma gives the customer something very special. When you deal with a business with charisma, you want to tell others about it. You want to share your feelings.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A rattling good read!", 4 Dec 2000
This book should be a must for everyone who has some responsibility for selling. On the basis that everyone in a business should be a sales representative for their product or service the potential in this book is enormous. A more interesting reason for reading this book is to realise that your own poor experiences are not just one offs, because of who you are, but that the same faults and poor service are repeated by other well established businesses who should know better. I felt revitalised for my own business needs after reading this book. In future I shall send a link to this site to any business who upsets me; and I urge others to do the same.
