Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great leaders embrace a higher purpose to win. The Net Promoter System shines as their guiding star. Few management ideas have spread so far and wide as the Net Promoter System (NPS). Since its conception almost two decades ago by customer loyalty guru Fred Reichheld, thousands of companies around the world have adopted it—from industrial titans such as Mercedes-Benz and Cummins to tech giants like Apple and Amazon to digital innovators such as Warby Parker and Peloton. Now, Reichheld has raised the bar yet again. In Winning on Purpose, he demonstrates that the primary purpose of a business should be to enrich the lives of its customers. Why? Because when customers feel this love, they come back for more and bring their friends—generating good profits. This is NPS 3.0 and it puts a new take on the age-old Golden Rule—treat customers the way you would want a loved one treated—at the heart of enduring business success. As the compelling examples in this book illustrate, companies with superior NPS consistently deliver higher returns to shareholders across a wide array of industries. But winning on purpose isn't easy. Reichheld also explains why many NPS practitioners achieve just a small fraction of the system's full potential, and he presents the newest thinking and best practices for doing NPS right. He unveils the Earned Growth Rate (EGR): the first reliable, complementary accounting measure that can truly leverage the power of NPS. With keen insight and moving personal stories, Reichheld advances the thinking and practice of NPS. Winning on Purpose is your indispensable guide for inspiring customer love within your own teams and using Net Promoter to achieve both personal and business success.

Download or read book Customers for Keeps written by Lois K. Geller and published by Adams Media Corporation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's retail marketplace is a vast sea of products, services, and wannabe brands. But even the catchiest slogans and biggest selections won't capture the buyer's loyalty if they don't establish a personal "connection." And there's no closer connection than friendship. Author and entrepreneur Lois K. Geller has found a surefire way to raise your brand above the others. Her philosophy - so simple and yet so powerful - is Friendship Branding. While working with clients such as American Express, Weight Watchers, and Columbia House, Geller found that creating a warm, long-term relationship with customers brought unprecedented sales and long-term brand loyalty. She also discovered that customers prefer the brand that reflects the qualities of a good friend: reliability, humor, honesty, charisma. Customers for Keeps reveals the eight stages of Friendship Branding that will put your company on your customers' "most wanted" list. 1. Wear a human face. 2. Maximize your initial impact. 3. Bond with customers by establishing mutual needs. 4. Listen to your customers via new channels. 5. Win trust by apprising customers of the latest brand developments - good and bad 6. Set your customers at ease. 7. Commit to customers. 8. Sustain your friendships. Customers for Keeps will show you how to: -Create and maintain a memorable, effective brand - no matter how large or small the company -Redefine a brand as an experience, rather than an image -Relate to customers as one would a best friend, using the principles and "rituals" of friendship -Inspire trust, respect, and loyalty in customers -Repair "broken" relationships sothat they are stronger than ever -And more! This groundbreaking work tears down the old definition of branding. Instead of simply creating a physical image or mental association of a product or service in the customer's mind, companies can now brand themselves in such a way so they are thought of as trusted friends. Remember, every customer worth getting is worth keeping. Customers for Keeps shows you why a friendship between customer and company is not only preferable in today's marketplace - it's vital.
