Today's most successful companies are taking a different approach: getting "customers" to market, sell, and create products for them. In assessing client value, most companies look at the money paid for their goods and services. But in this book, Customer Strategy Group CEO Bill Lee offers a compelling new vision for growth by maximizing your "return on relationship" with select customers--those that offer rich sources of hidden wealth. A different type of ROI, this strategy of making the most of your firm's existing relationships is a modern approach to customer relations--one that yields a distinct business advantage.
