Customer Centricity: Focus on the Right Customers for Strategic Advantage (Wharton Executive Essentials)
A powerful call to action, Customer Centricity upends some of our most fundamental beliefs about customer service, customer relationship management, and customer lifetime value

NOT ALL CUSTOMERS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Despite what the tired old adage says, the customer is not always right. Not all customers deserve your best efforts: In the world of customer centricity, there are good customersâ‚¬Â¦and then there is pretty much everybody else.

In Customer Centricity, Wharton professor Peter Fader, coauthor of the follow-up book The Customer Centricity Playbook, helps businesses radically rethink how they relate to customers. He provides insights to help you understand:
- Why customer centricity is the new model for success and product centricity must be ushered out
- How the ideas of brand equity and customer equity help us understand what kinds of compaÂnies naturally lend themselves to the customer-centric model and which ones donâ‚¬t
- Why the traditional models for determining the value of individual customers are flawed
- How executives can use customer lifetime value (CLV) and other customer-centric data to make smarter decisions about their companies
- How the well-intended idea of customer relationÂship management (CRM) lost its wayâ‚¬â€¢and how your company can properly put CRM to use
Customer Centricity will help you realign your performance metrics, product development, customer relationship management and organization in order to make sure you focus directly on the needs of your most valuable customers and increase profits for the long term.

ALSO AVAILABLE: Once Fader convinces you of the value of customer centricity in this book, The Customer Centricity Playbook, with Sarah Toms, will show you where to get started.

â‚¬Å“Reveals how to increase profits from your best customers, find more like them, and avoid over-investing in the restâ‚¬Â¦.Decidedly accessible and absolutely necessary.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€¢Jim Sterne, Founding President and Chairman, Digital Analytics Association

â‚¬Å“Perfect readâ‚¬Â¦Itâ‚¬s short (60-90 minutes), clear, and the best summary Iâ‚¬ve read of why companies should rethink their approach to customers.â‚¬Â
â‚¬â€¢Andrew McFarland, SVP, Chief Customer Officer, Black Box

â‚¬Å“Knowing what your customers are worth is the secret to focusing your time and money where it makes the most difference. You canâ‚¬t be all things to all people, so you need to learn to find out who really matters to your success. Fader makes it clear with great ideas and a readable style.â‚¬Â
