Today's consumers are sophisticated, well informed and have high expectations of the services they want to receive. They want greater choice, speed of service and convenience, and will not be 'sold to' or manipulated. Companies that do not face up to these changes will lose market share.
Nine helpful rules for achieving customer satisfaction
Customers’ collective buying power can make or break any company. While this may not be news to businesses, customers themselves are now realizing their collective strength and flexing their muscles.

She cites pivotal studies and tells numerous stories from actual companies to prove her thesis. In unembellished textbook style, she explains what really matters to consumers and how some companies have made their operations more customer-centric.
