Roger Frampton from Tucson,
AZ The authors
have clearly explained CRM, its premise, it application within the
workplace, and its components, processes and technical
underpinnings. The toolkit provides the reader with a coherent
definition and then backs it up with a CRM action plan that provides
a distinct link to business essentials within the scope of a concise
understanding of the broad range of processes that it takes to
implement CRM. The authors do a great job of explaining the
necessity of bringing together the business, its processes and
technology and does so in a very down to earth manner (no
technospeak). The toolkit then provides the user with a very clear
diagram of what is needed to bring a specific CRM application to
fruition.
This kit provides a very balanced
picture of CRM. So if you need to understand CRM, its value, how it
relates to business processes and what it takes to implement it,
this kit is for you. The checklists are invaluable and it gives you
basically everything needed for a successful CRM
implementation.

“This toolkit
covers all the different flavors and dimensions of CRM and its
entire lifecycle. I have been involved on all phases of a CRM
lifecycle as a data architect, and I find it broad enough to help me
understand the context for the entire CRM and my own piece in it.
Understanding the overall CRM strategy as well as each component is
important because of the dependencies between the different
functional areas and between business and technology.
This toolkit is
really good on explaining WHY - and therefore it helps you make
decisions, plan your approach, and design your solution, whatever
your role might be in a CRM project. As someone who has faced many
of the issues presented in the toolkit, I found the tips very
actionable and insightful (and I just wished I had this toolkit
earlier in my career). I also found it useful to re-read the
portions of the toolkit as they relate to the phase I am working on
and to help me analyze and resolve a management issue.
My only caution
is that you should be willing to understand business and technology
and all the different business functions, and not just your own -
but if you are serious about CRM, you will have to anyway.”

Don
Peppers:
“This is the
first CRM material I have read that both provides a solid foundation
on CRM and teaches how to actually put CRM in place. I regularly
recommend this toolkit to the working professionals who take my
graduate course in Data Warehousing and CRM. The materials in the
toolkit include helpful case studies, actionable lessons learned,
clear delivery of basic and advanced CRM topics, and example
tools/deliverables that can be applied in the workplace. It also is
a well-written. The CRM toolkit is a must for the office.”
Rick
Chapman:
“If you are
looking for an information packed resource on advanced CRM ideas and
strategies, then I would strongly recommend this toolkit. I own a
dozen texts on this subject and this toolkit is one of the best at
presenting the key concepts that define state-of-the-art CRM.
I found the
chapters on management paticularly interesting. Together, they
provided a comprehensive picture of the current challenges in
management and then discussed the new capabilities managers should
embrace to transform their organizations.
In addition to
the wealth of ideas, the toolkit was also filled with industry
examples that really helped to bring the topics to life for me. I
definitely give this toolkit an enthusiastic two thumbs
up.”
