Managing High-Tech Services Using a CRM Strategy (Hardcover)

As the service industry continues to grow more competitive and sophisticated, the need to develop a customer focused business strategy also continues to become more imperative. Managing High Tech Services Using a CRM Strategy explores how to manage and direct service organizations utilizing a high tech strategy supported by the Customer Service Management (CRM) infrastructure that will gain and retain your service organization's competitive edge.

Donald Blumberg, an internationally recognized authority on service business strategy and the worldwide services market, with over 34 years of experience in consulting globally to a broad array of small, medium, and large corporations, provides a fresh and incisive look at how to successfully manage the service business. Mr. Blumberg shows you how to rethink the basic service business model and the key operational dynamics in order to optimize your service business, both strategically and tactically, generating significantly increased top line revenues and bottom line profitability. A core element of this overall customer strategy is CRM, which gives you the tools, systems, and infrastructure you need to get and stay ahead in today's hyper competitive business environment.

Mr. Blumberg highlights issues and problem-solving applications such as:
· What is the correct business model for service and how does it differ from a product oriented service model?
· What are the key factors, elements, and dynamics influencing the success (or failure) of the service business?
· Developing, implementing, and rolling out a superior service operation on either a standalone basis or in support of a product or manufacturing business.
· Making service businesses more competitive by integrating service delivery mechanisms and relevant data on a real-time basis.

Combining theory, structural dynamics, case studies, examples, state-of-the-art assessments, and market research results, the author clearly presents workable strategies for managing, marketing, and selling service in a variety of different business markets and situations. While many books have addressed how to create and manage a profitable service-based business, few have addressed how to integrate key service strategies with CRM with the wealth of detail you will find in Managing High Tech Services Using a CRM Strategy.
