We Are All Customers!
"Are you a manager of people who serve customers? If so, this book is for you, whatever your industry. Alan and Elaine have integrated tried-and-true tenets of building customer loyalty with realities of today’s culture and technology: from Deming’s principles to today’s tablets on your dining table. Seven easy-read chapters will keep you captivated with illustrative narratives of what works and does not, how to notice and figure out customer feelings toward your brand, and how to affect those experiences so customers return to you and not your competitor.
Customers are the heart of your business, the blood of what you do. Alan and Elaine help you get to the heart of building loyalty.

Faingold and Kronon have captured the significant impact of creating customer-focused enterprises taught in most of the best business development programs globally. They exemplify what Peter Drucker taught us in 1985 that
there is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer. They extend Drucker’s thinking with their focused approach to creating exemplary business practices to hold on to those very customers while offering practical insights and tips to improve business processes.
Every business owner knows that the most expensive customer is the one who comes into your business for the first time. So, getting them and keeping them becomes the difference between success and failure. This book is well-researched and a valuable addition to the library of any serious business owner interested in improving their business-customer relationships.
– Pettis Perry, Doctor of Education, Organization and Leadership
This book offers us a chance to see customer service through so many rich lenses such as the customer, the manager, and the team members. I absolutely love the examples included throughout and especially love the reflective questions that challenge the reader as we consider our own experiences as leaders, as managers, as team members, and/or as customers. Alan and Elaine have a wonderful way with words that bring the idea of customer service to light in a brand new, reflective way. Ideas we hear so much about have been made ‘real.’ The reflective appraisals will make a huge difference for organizations seeking to lower turnover.

Alan Faingold and Elaine Kronon have written an essential guide to understanding our customers. They base their work on decades of experience, authentic customer stories, and a deep-dive into the research literature. They remind us that the key to customer satisfaction - like Dorothy’s ruby slippers - is with us at all times: Remembering that we, too, are customers. The authors walk with us, step-by-step, as we endeavor to apply this Golden Rule to our respective industries and clientele so that we meet both our customers’ needs and our own financial bottom lines.
