Engaging, practical, and immediately useful for any business and its messengers on how to talk about their business and connect with their customers. The vast majority of word of mouth happens offline, in everyday conversations. In The Science of Customer Connections, Karrh offers simple concepts plus practical guidance for individual professionals, teams, and complex organizations to be part of those conversations in ways that grow their business. With clear language and a sense of humor, Karrh guides readers step by step to create: A message that is memorable, interesting to buyers, and built to share A growing set of messengers who include your story in their everyday conversations Management habits that build consistency and scale Readers will be equipped to engage customers and employees, build trustworthiness, and grow profitably—without necessarily having to change their business model, offerings, pricing, distribution, or people. Instead, they can quickly elevate the way that everyone close to the business talks about it, consistently resulting in stronger cross-selling and upselling of additional products and services, higher customer satisfaction, and more consistent employee engagement. Inspirational real-world examples are presented from entrepreneurs and career changers, growth companies, and large global organizations.
If everyone already knows that a business needs customers to survive, and if everyone already knows that marketing is the key function for finding, keeping and serving customers profitably...then why is there so much confusion and poor practice around marketing? The answer is twofold. First, many know-it-alls (bosses, gurus, teachers, trainers and even authors) focus their prescriptions on a relatively narrow area of understanding. But marketing involves wide-ranging skills sets and activities including research, strategic thinking, creativity, communication, forecasting, project management and business intuition. In order to make marketing work for your organization, you need a sense of the big picture. At the same time, too much of the advice out there is needlessly convoluted. Marketing is difficult enough without the complication of hyperbole, fads and buzzwords. Can't we all just have a real business-level conversation here? 30 Doses for Marketing Success provides broad perspectives, simple language and practical advice to help you get on a better path for more effective marketing. This "best of" collection of columns from Jim Karrh, Ph.D. includes insights on research, media relations, pricing, customer service, strategic storytelling and street-level sales. As a bonus, $1 from each book sold will benefit the Vascular Anomalies Center of Excellence at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Dr. Karrh synthesizes his learnings as a consultant, university professor, corporate marketing leader and entrepreneur with both clarity and humor. Importantly, 30 Doses for Marketing Success also begins and ends with provocative points of view from The Consumer - so that you and your organizational colleagues can keep the proper focus. You will likely find yourself sharing this book with your colleagues, and even picking it back up yourself time and time again. That can mean a much better chance of marketing success - for the long haul.
