Adam Metz presents a clear, concise game plan for attracting them, connecting with them, and keeping them. Don't just buy this book: invest in the content. Actually, invest time to implement the content." -JEFFREY GITOMER, author of The Little Red Book of Selling and Social BOOM! "This book connects two key dots in the customer equation: knowing why your customers uniquely do business with you and taking actions that cause them to repeat that choice more frequently." - RICH BLAKEMAN, sales vice president, Miller Heiman, from the Afterword "I've seen the future of marketing and it delivers in less than 300 pages. Adam Metz's The Social Customer makes a compelling case for revolutionizing your thinking about how you connect and build a relationship with your customer in a fashion that shrinks your marketing team and amplifi es the love the world feels for you and your product. Not easy stuff, and, done the wrong way, it's dangerous." - CHIP CONLEY, founder of Joie de Vivre Hospitality and author of PEAK: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow About the Book IF you look at the people who follow your company via social media simply as "social media users," you're missing a much bigger picture.
