| In today s environment companies need to go beyond relationship marketing" to be true customer advocates -- faithfully representing their customers interests. Customer advocacy means providing customers and prospects with open, honest and complete information. It means talking with customers, not at them. In most companies, customer advocacy requires a massive transformation in both culture and process. In this book, MIT s Glen Urban covers the entire pyramid of customer advocacy: the base (starting with TQM and customer satisfaction initiatives); the middle (relationship marketing); and the pinnacle : new advocacy techniques built on trust, not coercion. Companies from GM to Intel, Qwest to John Deere are beginning to recognize the urgent importance of customer advocacy. Urban reveals what they re trying, and what challenges they re up against -- and identifies crucial lessons for earning the customer trust needed to thrive in today s radically changed business environment. |
