"Talk is cheap." A cliche, perhaps, but the idea that what we do
is more important than what we say is a fundamental truth. It
applies in our personal lives and can extend into our professional
work, too. Learning to let your actions do the talking can be
revolutionary to a company that struggles to create enduring
customer relationships.
People who own operate, manage, or otherwise lead a company are
always looking for ways to improve productivity, beat the
competition, and ensure long-term success. Learning how to put
words and ideas into action can be a key to success in the business
world.
"Hooked on Customers" is not about finding the right words,
whether labeled as a "strategy" or not. It is an insightful, highly
informative book that propels businesses into action. It explores
successful customer-centric businesses, examines the ways they
"execute" their strategies, and provides practical recommendations
for business leaders to more effectively outperform their
competition.
A must-have for any business leader who wants to have a healthy
relationship with customers, this book avoids the pitfalls that
often plague others that offer business advice. Frequently, company
leaders turn to consultants and other resources to recommend
strategies that sound great but ultimately don't have any real
meaning because they are a series of words without a tie to
actions.
Combining his own professional experiences working as a CEO with
his extensive research and expertise as an international authority
on customer-centricity, author Robert Thompson has identified the
five routine organizational habits successful customer-centric
businesses use when executing strategy. Legendary leading
customer-centric businesses: LISTEN to their customers' values and
feedback. THINK about the implications of fact-based decisions on
customers EMPOWER employees with the freedom they need to please
customers CREATE new value for customers, without being asked
DELIGHT customers by exceeding their expectations
Crucial to Thompson's discussion of these habits is the premise
that there are no quick fixes. Customer-centricity takes time,
determination, and company-wide commitment. It must be maintained
and constantly pursued to ensure that it becomes part of the fabric
of a business.
In the end, the results are well worth it. "Hooked on Customers"
helps leaders understand, adopt, and implement the five crucial
habits that enable companies to not only survive in highly
competitive, overcrowded markets but to dominate them, creating a
legacy of success and inspiration along the way."
