Winning in Service Markets : Success Through People, Technology and Strategy

If your business is to thrive and succeed in this economy, there must be an intentional focus placed on your customers and their experience. Different challenges arise, depending on the type of business you are in, manufacturing or services. Every other book written about customer experience and customer service devotes little to no time to the services sector, a rapidly-growing sector globally. Finally there's a book that takes on the challenges faced by services organizations! Winning in Service Markets is practical, well-organized, and detailed. It will be your go-to guidebook to help you achieve service excellence. - Annette Franz, Customer experience consultant and author, CX Journey

You won't find opinion here. Rather, this book is based on rock-solid academic evidence.

Winning in Service Markets, winning in every market... it is all about the customer experience.
