Handbook of Key Customer
Relationship Management
The value of knowledge
in particular customer relationship knowledge is only just being appreciated.
The dot.com revolution is spearheaded by companies whose worth is measured not by profits
but by the extent of their customer databases and their ability to mine that information.
Companies will spend more
than L5 billion on new CRM applications by 2002. 55% of companies plan to review Sales
and Marketing systems within 12 months; 33% will purchase new, 22% will upgrade. But
software is only about 25% of the cost. The real cost (and risk) is in implementation, and
particularly with your key customers; Ken Burnett's book focuses on getting your KCRM
implementation right.
Implement your KCRM strategy
now.
'Knowledge, it is said, is
power. Through this book Ken Burnett empowers readers to gain an insight into 'know-what'
and 'know-how' aspects of customer knowledge management. If your business is on a
'bleeding edge' then this book will transform it into a' leading edge'." Sultan
