"Many books explore the subject of CRM. In this book the'm' is for Marketing and David's seasonedperspective indeed makes it a capital 'M.' Taking coredirect response marketing techniques and moving beyond the simpleuse of data and analytics, he explores how today's marketerscan leverage advances in technology to create successfulcustomer-centric business strategies."

--Manish Bhatt, SVP and Chief Digital Officer,MetLife
"In a data-rich world, consumers demand that marketersturn data into highly relevant and personalexperiences--'Don't talk with me as a member of asegment, talk with me about how you will meet my uniqueexpectations and solve my unique problems.'

Connected CRM helps marketers unpack customercentricity for their organizations, providing real insight into thedevelopment of a framework for enterprise customer centricity; aframework that promises true sustainable advantage."
