Extreme Trust

Turning Proactive Honesty and Flawless Execution into Long-Term Profits, RevisedEdition

Look inside

Not so long ago, being reasonably trustworthy was good enough. But soon only the extremely trustworthy will thrive.
 
In the age of smartphones and social networks, every action an organization takes can be exposed and critiqued in real time. Nothing is local or secret anymore. If you treat one customer unfairly, produce one shoddy product, or try to gouge one price, the whole world may find out in hours, if not minutes. The users of Twitter, Yelp, and similar outlets show little mercy for bad behavior. The bar for trustworthiness is higher than ever and continues to rise.
 
Bestselling authors Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, Ph.D., argue that the only sane response to these rising levels of transparency is to protect the interests of customers proactively—even if that requires spending extra money in the short run to preserve your brand reputation in the long run. The payoff of generating extreme trust will be worth it.
With a wealth of fascinating research as well as practical applications, this book will show you how to earn—and keep—the extreme trust of everyone your company interacts with.

Globally respected thought leaders, futurists, and management consultants, Don Peppers and Martha Rogers, PhD, are the authors of four business bestsellers: The One to One Future, Enterprise One to One, The One to One Fieldbook (coauthored with Bob Dorf), and The One to One Manager. Their company, Peppers and Rogers Group, is the world's preeminent customer-focused management consulting and training firm, with offices on six continents and dozens of Global 1000 clients, in both the B2B and B2C arenas. Before teaming up with Dr. Rogers, Don Peppers was a celebrated Madison Avenue rainmaker and CEO of a major direct marketing agency. Martha Rogers is adjunct professor at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University and leads multiyear, multimillion-dollar research efforts in the emerging CRM field. View titles by Don Peppers
