Neuware - Companies spend big money and significant resources to acquire new customers while they tend to give little thought about how to hold onto clients who are heading for the exits. That's a mistake. Businesses need to change their thinking on this front and retool their strategies to dedicate more time and effort to retain the customers they already have. They can do that by elevating the customer experience. The new book 'Taking Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level' explains how.Authors Nadji Tehrani and Steve Brubaker, both Customer CareTM experts, take readers on a journey that explores the importance of repeat business, and how to go the extra mile to keep customers coming back. The book looks at the role of content, leadership, listening, marketing, mobile, people, personalization, social media, training, and video in Taking Customer CareTM to the Next Level.Customer experience has become a hot topic in recent years, and companies are pushing the message that they are keenly focused on CX. But for all the talk about this subject, there are very few organizations out there today that deliver truly Next-Level Customer CareTM, Tehrani and Brubaker note in their new book. 'Ironically, as we searched for relevant experiences of companies with extraordinary Customer CareTM, we had great difficulty finding more than a handful of companies that have truly put the complete package together for Taking their Customer CareTM to the Next Level,' the authors write.The bottom line is that customers today, for the most part, simply are not being wowed by the companies with which they do business. There are, of course, a few rare exceptions to that rule. The book illustrates the first point by sharing actual case studies and examples of experiences that, the authors say, should be shocking if it weren't for the fact that poor customer experience has become the norm. More importantly, however, 'Taking Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level' looks at some examples of companies and other organizations that have done just what the book's title suggests.Among the companies noted in the book are Ace Hardware, Amazon, American Express, Apple, Disney, The Ritz-Carlton, Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Wine Enthusiast, and Zappos. One of the top justifications for spending the time and money to implement a new strategy to deliver Next-Level Customer CareTM is that it's far less expensive to keep existing customers than it is to win and onboard new ones. That said, Tehrani and Brubaker urge readers, if your advertising budget line item is greater for customer acquisition than customer retention, you are fighting a losing battle. They emphasize the importance of putting more resources into existing customers, who as a result will stay loyal and even become advocates.Business owners and executives, the authors say, must lead by example to put the customers' needs at the forefront and develop incentives, policies, and training to match the needs of the customers. Indeed, Customer CareTM is about more than making the sale and then moving on. It's about cultivating long-term relationships.While systems like integrated CRM solutions, location-based technology, marketing automation, mobile apps, and omnichannel support can help make that happen, the bottom line is that businesses need to have the right people in place to deliver Next-Level Customer CareTM. By the right people, the authors mean people who are compassionate and helpful, and who have the information and skillsets to get the job done.'Poor customer relations cost companies nearly $41 billion each year,' Tehrani and Brubaker write. 'But this doesn't have to be the case. Preserve relationships by providing the utmost compassion for your customers and Take Your Customer CareTM to the Next Level.'.…

In the years since, the magazine evolved to become Customer Interaction Solutions and now CUSTOMER magazine in a move to reflect the expanding role customer experience plays not just in the call center but across all interaction channels and business disciplines, including product design, marketing, and sales. Tehrani remains the executive group publisher and editor-in-chief of CUSTOMER magazine to this day. Tehrani is also the recipient of numerous awards.

He's also a member of the Direct Marketing Association, the Professional Association for Customer Engagement, and the Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals. Brubaker is the recipient of numerous industry and other awards. In 2007 he was honored with the prestigious Fulcrum Award from the American Teleservices Association (now known as PACE) in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the call center industry. In 2012 he was selected by the University of Akron to receive the Simonetti Distinguished Business Alumni Award.

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
