Book Overview

Kunden sind das Herzblut jedes Unternehmens, und zufriedene Kunden sind wertvolle Aktivposten. Einen neuen Kunden zu gewinnen, ist weitaus schwieriger und kostspieliger als einen alten Kunden an sich zu binden. Und au erdem kann jeder Kunde jederzeit woanders Kunde werden. Was kann also ein Unternehmen tun, wenn Kunden abwandern? Oder anders gefragt - wie kann ein Unternehmen einen so hervorragenden Kundenservice bieten, dass Kunden erst gar nicht...

Packed full of great, do-able ideas

Customer Winback has great information and wonderful examples (presented in depth) of what companies can do to address a much-neglected area of customer service--winning back lost customers. It shows how this concept is just as important as emphasizing customer loyalty and customer satisfaction in not only maintaining customers, but keeping them delighted and coming back to buy more. It is very well organized, well-written and covers a wide range of material. It also gives you many ideas to implement at your own company. Just one chapter provides you with more substance than many entire books. This is an excellent customer service book and a must for customer service managers. I recommend it highly.

Winback: stretching conventional thinking

A great book.Conventional thinking promotes four phases of a customer's lifecycle: identify, win, retain and develop relationships. Lowenstein and Griffin add a previously under-explored category, winback, to enable companies to capitalise on the assets they've ignored so far. In a highly accessible style, packed with valuable insights and information, the authors stretch the thinking of the reader, and provide a catalyst for improvement in their own business performance. I commend the book to all those seriously engaged on the journey towards customer centricity. Buy it, or be left behind.

Definitely FIVE Stars!

A complete treatment of the subject. Plenty of examples with something for every business owner's situation. I highly recommend this book for any and all who want to maintain a loyal customer base... and that would be everyone.

WHY Is Obvious: Do You Know WHAT to Do and HOW to Do It?

This is one the very few recently published books which focus almost entirely on recapturing lost customers. For more than 20 years while providing consulting services to a wide range of organizations, I have been frequently asked to help to improve business development. These situations have convinced me that, measured in terms of total cost (hours as well as dollars), the greatest ROI in business development is generated from two sources: former customers and current customers. (My own estimate is that the total cost of adding a new customer is 5-8 times greater than the total cost of keeping a current customer.) Almost none of the organizations with which I have been associated already had a comprehensive plan in place to recapture customers. (Does yours?) Obviously, I think this book will be of greatest value in two separate but related areas: keeping the customers you now have, and, recapturing those whom you've lost. "Now is the time to put in place specific strategies and tools for winning back customers, saving customers on the brink of defection, and making your company defective proof." Their material is organized as follows. Part One (Chapters 1-5) examine why customer win-back is critical to an organization's success, how to manage "The Big Three" (Acquisition, Retention, and Win-Back), specifically, how to win back a lost customer or a customer on the brink of defection, and finally, how to mobilize and manage a "Win-Back Team." Then in Part Two (Chapters 6-10), they shift their attention explain why no customer is ever truly safe from defection and what the implications of that fact are, how to build a Customer Information System which drives loyalty, how to target prospects with strong loyalty potential, how to leverage the power of customer-focused teams, and finally, how to build a fiercely loyal staff. The authors then provide excellent appendices. One is "The Customer Loyalty Compass: A Proven Process for Finding Customer Value. The other is "Estimation of Second Lifetime Value (SLTV) Investment and Profitability." Insofar as the subject of customer recapture is concerned, there seems to be very little that the authors do not cover. Let's say you have read the book and are ready to proceed. Now what? The authors suggest a series of specific steps which are summarized in Figure 10.1 ( "Getting Started") on page 281 in the hardbound edition which I possess. This section includes five "essential loyalty tools" which will help to make your organization "defection-proof." I hope that this brief commentary has succeeded in indicating what this book offers. Given the fact that your competitors may also read it, I urge you to proceed in a timely manner. Competition for customers (in every industry and market segment) is already ferocious and is certain to become moreso in weeks and months ahead.

An important book in the field of loyalty

Customer Winback, authored by loyalty experts Griffin and Lowenstein, is an important new book in the field of customer loyalty. Published in 2001, Customer Winback is packed with information, examples and practical advice about how to improve sales and profits by re-acquiring lost customers. Customer re-acquisition is an area that has not been well explored before this book. Most companies don't even track lost customers, much less try to win them back. Yet, as the authors point out, your chances of converting a lost customer are usually much better than your chances of converting a new prospect. This simple fact is a good economic justification for developing a winback program. How do you win them back? The authors don't offer a magic solution. Instead they provide a business process you can use long term, which is of course much better than a silver bullet. It starts with learning why you lost them in the first place, and then deciding who you want to win back. The authors provide some useful tools for approaching each winback situation. One I like is "Second Lifetime Value" which is sort of a reincarnation of the lifetime value concept. In the USA, the timing of this book (Spring, 2001) couldn't be better. When the economy is shaky, companies want to do everything they can to keep their customers, or win them back.
