Customers Inside, Customers Outside

Designing and Succeeding With Enterprise Customer-Centricity Concepts, Practices, and Applications

By: Michael W. Lowenstein

Over the past several years, leading companies have entered a period of major marketing and operational adjustment and convergence, or intersection. It’s a reaction to a critical fact of life: Customers—not organizations— now control the decision-making dynamics and how organizations are perceived. We are witnessing significant multichannel media application (and resultant omnichannel access by consumers), along with more effective and pervasive customer data gathering, analysis, and modeling. If you’re observing these major shifts in your own organization, you’ll need this book. Inside, you’ll learn how to build proactive customer communication, improve relationships, drive positive brand perception, optimize channel selection and message personalization, and enhance employee-related factors (hiring, training, reward, recognition), all leading to superior customer experience and a customercentric culture. In addition, the author has incorporated content on “Big Data” generation and analytics, which you’ll master while scoring a direct hit to the moving target—your continuously changing, and increasingly independent, customer base.

The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur

By: Michael W. Lowenstein

Over the past decade, the concept and effective execution of off-line and online social (and business-related) informal peer-to-peer communication has become extremely important to marketers as business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) customers have increasingly shown distrust, disinterest, and disdain for most supplier messages conveyed through traditional media. The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur offers a comprehensive overview and sets of actionable insights into this new world of customer-led communication and behavioral influence: How we got here How objective, original, credible, authentic and effective brand, product, or service word-of-mouth programs can be initiated and scaled How contemporary and actionable measures can be applied to assess strategic and tactical customer experience and relationship effectiveness Why advocacy is the ultimate customer loyalty behavior goal How to identify drivers of, and minimize, customer sabotage How employee behavior links to customer advocacy behavior How social word-of-mouth is addressed differently around the world How the core concept of advocacy can be expected to morph going forward through more proactive marketing and leveraging of customer behavior Praise for The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur "Michael Lowenstein offers excellent insights and methods any business can apply to achieve high customer advocacy from its customer base." - Professor Philip Kotler, Northwestern University "Proactive endorsements of customers and employees are earned by making deliberate decisions about how you run your business. Michael Lowenstein's book gives readers dedicated to company growth through customer advocacy the specifics and tools to 'earn the right' to those endorsements." - Jeanne Bliss, noted customer experience expert and author (www.customerbliss.com); co-founder, Customer Experience Professionals Association (CXPA) "The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur is fantastic! Michael eloquently presents customer service theories and research techniques that reinforce what we all already know but now intimately understand so we can confidently expand our best practices. I have gone back to the material several times since initially reading this masterpiece to clarify and tweak current programs as well as justifying the implementation of new customer relationship building initiatives. Since our nation now relies on the service sector to support the economy, this book and Michael Lowenstein are a block in the foundation of our economic recovery. Read this book; your customers, your employees, and the nation will benefit.” - Chris Zane, Founder/Pres, Zane’s Cycle; author of Reinventing the Wheel; the Science of Creating Lifetime Customers “Social Customers can have an enormous impact on brand value. Michael Lowenstein's The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur synthesizes solid research and compelling examples to show how to capitalize on advocacy behavior while minimizing the potential for damage from ‘badvocacy.’ Essential reading for customer-centric business leaders!” - Bob Thompson, Founder/CEO, CustomerThink Corp.

Employee Ambassadorship

Optimizing Customer-Centric Behavior from the Inside-Out and Outside-In

By: Michael W. Lowenstein

There have been a number of professional and academic studies, in multiple industries, linking employee attitudes and behaviors with the value customers perceive in their experiences. Through targeted research, and resultant training, communication, process, and reward and recognition programs, what we define as ambassadorship formalizes the direction in which employee engagement has been trending toward for years. Simply, the trend is optimizing employee commitment to the organization and its goals, to the company’s unique value proposition, and to the customer. This is employee ambassadorship, a state beyond satisfaction and engagement where all employees are focused on, and tasked with, delivering customer value as part of their job description, irrespective of location, function or level. There is growing general agreement that both developing employee ambassadors and customer advocates should receive high priority and emphasis if an enterprise is going to be successful. What building ambassadorship does mandate, however, is that having employees focus on the customer will definitely drive more positive experiences and stronger loyalty behavior (for both stakeholder groups). Because antecedent approaches to employee engagement (through research and application) are principally about productivity and alignment, and offer an organization only modest insight about level or degree of customer-centricity, more connection between employee behavior and customer behavior builds focus, effectiveness, and profitability. That is what the content/scope of Employee Ambassadorship will help provide.
