The purpose of the National Customer Service Awards is to promote excellence, best practice and innovation in customer service and to highlight their importance in todays business climate.
With customer expectations continually rising, the wider business community is becoming aware of the value and role that Customer Service and Consumer
Affair professionals play in achieving business success and creating differentiation.
This highly demanding area is arguably the critical success factor for many organisations. For this reason, it is right for the Customer Service profession to have a cross-industry national event to recognise, promote and honour excellence, professionalism and outstanding achievement.
The Awards are a showcase of talent and achievement and many of the entrants, finalists and ultimate winners are featured in this book, being among the most forward-thinking organisations in the field of customer service excellence.
Review
"… pragmatic, down-to-earth analysis of the key issues involved…" (Marketing Business, February 2003)
Synopsis
CRM today is much like BPR in the 1990s. It is the strategy of the 21st century. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon, but few are doing it in a way that will reap long-term benefits. And while billions are being spent worldwide, as yet there is not one case study of a true CRM focused company that is achieving major business success. Why?
Three years ago Quest Media introduced the National Customer Service Awards. The philosophy was to research, recognise and reward organisations that were pushing the barriers of customer management to new limits. Written by the editor of Customer Management magazine, this book draws on Quest's research to reflect the current thinking behind today's front-runners in the customer management field. The authors challenge accepted thought processes and give realistic timeframes for implementing the innovative thinking that will produce tomorrow's Customer Management Excellence.

* Provides case studies and examples of organisations that are award-winners in their innovative customer management techniques
