Rating: - Are your customers satisfied, or loyal?
The difference between a satisfied customer and a loyal customer is; one MIGHT do business with you again and MIGHT refer others to you, the other WILL do business with you again and CAN'T WAIT to tell others about your business. Of course this is just one of the many differences between a satisfied and a loyal customer. There are many others. Loyal customers cost less, because they are worth more!

Sales guru Jeffrey Gitomer's book, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IS WORTHLESS: CUSTOMER LOYALTY IS PRICELESS, details these and many other differences that are critical to your business. The beautiful thing about it is, mediocre, or even less than mediocre has become the norm, so when you make just minimal effort at building customer loyalty, your business will literally stick out like a sore thumb. It's so easy in today's business climate to be head and shoulders above your competition.

I've never been a big fan of the way Gitomer lays out his books. Essentially this is a 200-page lesson in a 300-page format. I find it a little annoying sometimes when a page is filled with only eight or ten giant sized words, but must say the book does flow well and is very easy to digest.

I was also pleased to find some very interesting reading on related topics such as company mission statements. Gitomer includes several of these topics one may not initially associate with building customer loyalty, but yet, in their own way, play integral parts in your overall company focus on customer relationships.

I guess the easiest way to summarize this book is this; building customer loyalty is not that difficult, but it does take commitment and effort, coupled with direction and process. You furnish the first two, Gitomer has furnished the rest in this book.
