'There are not many people who understand the new paradigm of the Customer Experience. The emerging gurus on the subject are Colin Shaw & John Ivens with their holistic approach.

At Microsoft we understand the importance of this and are committing ourselves to this new world.' - Steve Harvey, Director of People, Profits & Loyalty, Microsoft

'This book hits the strikezone of how marketers, and organizations overall, need to be thinking to win today.

'No matter what you are selling - a product or a service, a commodity or a differentiated product - customers are both judge and jury when it comes to deciding whether or not a company succeeds. This book helps companies understand that in order to win in the court of public opinion, they need to build a high-performance organization focused on the customer. Colin Shaw and John Ivens make their case with the best kind of evidence - common sense real-life examples.' - Mohan Kharbanda, Vice President, Customer Experience, Americas, Dell Computers, Texas
