Recommendation

This book offers a practical method for building customer relationships. Authors Diane Berenbaum and Tom Larkin have organized each chapter to provide chief principles, practical positive and negative examples, useful exercises to build your skills, and a few summary maxims that recap and underscore main points. The MAGIC customer relations method is not complicated in design, but it takes real effort to master.

This book has the benefit of being action-oriented rather than theoretical. getAbstract recommends it if you are willing to work on the program the authors offer. You will have to do more than just read the book, but that’s a good start.

    These relationships should be considered as partnerships. Your skills of listening play a vital role in communication.

    I can agree with acronym definition of MAGIC in this article as it covers the rules of communication. Remember to treat your customer as you want to be treated.
