Synopsis

Learn how you can use the revolutionary five-step marketing process that helped Microsoft, NBC Universal, and IBM achieve double-digit increases in sales.

"When HP uses the Voice of the Customer methodology, our marketing campaign results improve dramatically: response rates improve 3X to 10x, sales increase 2x or more, and we can spend far less to get great results. When we don't use VOC, our results can suffer greatly." -Garry Dawson, Hewlett-Packard, Americas Advertising and Direct Marketing Manager

"Ernan is a leading expert in creating disciplined "Voice of Customer" driven marketing processes. If you want to move from just talking about VOC to being a leader in implementing it, you must read this book." -Fred Neil, Global Head of CRM, Dell

"Finally, someone has found the answer for how to succeed with customer focused marketing. Ernan has pioneered an impressive Voice of Customer process that enables marketers to engage customers on their terms. His book provides readers with a step by step guide for achieving the same levels of success as he has achieved for his impressive list of Fortune clients." -Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University

In Voice of the Customer Marketing, Ernan Roman, the award-winning marketing guru who created the IDM (Integrated Direct Marketing) and Opt-in marketing methodologies shows you a proven, step-by-step process for understanding the expectations of your customers and prospects for more effective relationships and deeper levels of value. He then demonstrates how to use these insights to develop high impact, high return relationship marketing strategies and action plans which generate consistent double-digit increases in response and sales.

The book's numerous case studies demonstrate the most effective uses of Voice of the Customer marketing in action, and the most frequent mistakes marketers make-trying to "manage" customers rather than continually engaging them.

This book is essential reading for all marketers, whether in Fortune or Growth sized companies, who want dramatic increases in sales and marketing effectiveness.

From the Author:

I wrote this book to help marketers treat customers the way we, as consumers, want to be treated, and at the same time, achieve double-digit increases in response and revenue.

You can only truly engage customers and prospects if you understand their "Voice of Customer" insights. These insights will tell you how your company can meet their expectations for relevance, relationship, competitive differentiation and on-going value-added communications and offers.

The 5-Step Voice of the Customer, (VOC), methodology is designed to help marketers in all size companies, from Fortune, to Growth and Start-ups. The process has been battle-tested for over 30 years in the marketing trenches, helping clients such as Microsoft, NBC Universal, IBM, HMS National, and Life Line Screening achieve consistent double-digit increases in response and revenue.

I hope you will test the 5-Step VOC process and see for yourself how you can "do right" by customers and prospects and achieve significant increases in response, relevance and revenue.
