Recommendation

At the bottom of every Southwest Airlines paycheck is the sentence: “This paycheck is made possible because of your customers.” That idea should be the prevailing attitude within every company. Despite employing too much jargon and too many lists, Bill Thomas and Jeff Tobe, experts on consumer focus, do a good job of detailing how organizations can improve their clients’ experiences and, thus, generate more revenue. getAbstract recommends this perceptive manual to everyone who has customers, no matter what the scale of their business, business model, focus or framework.

Take-Aways

  • Enhancing your value to existing customers creates meaningful business growth.
  • Satisfy your customers’ needs – including their “unmet and unknown” needs.
  • Use the three-level “Customer Focus Maturity Model” to address all your clients’ concerns, as listed in the 10 points of the “Customer Focus Framework.”
