Recommendation

If you’ve ever argued with a colleague about why the details of each point of communication with your customers really matter, read this and pass it around the office. Branding expert Craig Wilson’s engaging text explains the importance of forging strong relationships with your customers and of aligning your company’s principles with those of your clientele. Wilson, a branding expert, shares his observations and shows how to convert prospective customers into ardent, loyal fans – all while running an environmentally and financially sustainable business. He provides actionable resources to ensure long-term, profitable customer relationships. Some of his language is moving and effective, though it may feel more poetic than practical, and the book’s structure can be clumsy. But the content overrides any minor issues. getAbstract recommends this manual to entrepreneurs, business students and professors, brand managers, anyone in customer relations or marketing, and those who prioritize environmental or social issues.

Take-Aways

  • A company must define and adhere to its principles.
  • To earn a loyal, profitable customer base, align your principles with your clients’.
  • Environmental, ethical and social sustainability can coexist with and strengthen financial sustainability.
