Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lowenstein (market research and consulting professional and author) explores recent changes in the concepts and execution of both social and business-related informal peer-to-peer communications in a time when potential customers are increasingly leery of messages from suppliers relayed through traditional media. He makes it clear that marketers must understand that customers are buried under an avalanche of messages coming from far more than traditional media: things like spam, pop-up advertising, telemarketing. He also notes that customers most consistently trust word-of-mouth communications. Topics include the history of customer advocacy and sabotage, the business case for advocacy, measuring and monetizing it, creating higher levels of advocacy with informal social communications, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the concept and effective execution of off-line and online social (and business-related) informal peer-to-peer communication has become extremely important to marketers as business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) customers have increasingly shown distrust, disinterest, and disdain for most supplier messages conveyed through traditional media. The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur offers a comprehensive overview and sets of actionable insights into this new world of customer-led communication and behavioral influence: How we got here How objective, original, credible, authentic and effective brand, product, or service word-of-mouth programs can be initiated and scaled How contemporary and actionable measures can be applied to assess strategic and tactical customer experience and relationship effectiveness Why advocacy is the ultimate customer loyalty behavior goal How to identify drivers of, and minimize, customer sabotage How employee behavior links to customer advocacy behavior How social word-of-mouth is addressed differently around the world How the core concept of advocacy can be expected to morph going forward through more proactive marketing and leveraging of customer behavior Praise for The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur "Michael Lowenstein offers excellent insights and methods any business can apply to achieve high customer advocacy from its customer base." - Professor Philip Kotler, Northwestern University "Proactive endorsements of customers and employees are earned by making deliberate decisions about how you run your business. Michael Lowenstein's book gives readers dedicated to company growth through customer advocacy the specifics and tools to 'earn the right' to those endorsements." - Jeanne Bliss, noted customer experience expert and author (www.customerbliss.com); co-founder, Customer Experience Professionals Association (CXPA) "The Customer Advocate and the Customer Saboteur is fantastic! Michael eloquently presents customer service theories and research techniques that reinforce what we all already know but now intimately understand so we can confidently expand our best practices. I have gone back to the material several times since initially reading this masterpiece to clarify and tweak current programs as well as justifying the implementation of new customer relationship building initiatives. Since our nation now relies on the service sector to support the economy, this book and Michael Lowenstein are a block in the foundation of our economic recovery. Read this book; your customers, your employees, and the nation will benefit.” - Chris Zane, Founder/Pres, Zane’s Cycle; author of Reinventing the Wheel; the Science of Creating Lifetime Customers “Social Customers can have an enormous impact on brand value.
