Most firms consider the lost customer a lost cause. In this ground-breaking book, Jill Griffin and Michael Lowenstein dispel the myth and prove that winning back lost customers can be a rich source of renewed revenue and customer loyalty for any firm. With the average company losing 20 to 40 percent of its customers every year (for Web-based companies, defection rates are substantially higher), it is imperative that firms create hard-working strategies, not only for acquisition and retention but also for win-back. Griffin and Lowenstein provide you with step-by-step solutions for winning back lost customers, saving customers on the brink of defection, and making your firm defection proof. The authors offer proven strategies for recognizing which lost customers have the highest win-back value and implementing a sure-fire plan to recover them. Whether your business is small or large, product- or service-based, retail or wholesale, your success depends on keeping high-value customers. Customer WinBack shares the techniques of hundreds of innovative companies, from e-commerce start-ups to corporations such as U.S. Cellular, MCI, Doubleday Direct, and First Union who are already working to recapture lost customers and keep them loyal. In today's hyper-competitive marketplace, no customer retention program can be 100 percent foolproof. With this landmark book, Griffin and Lowenstein blaze a fresh, new trail and show you how to win back those lost customers you simply can't afford to let go.
