Winning With Customers: A Playbook for Winning
Often times, after professionals learn about Winning With Customers,
the most common interests are: How do you do this? How do you get started?
What do you do?
There is really no way to answer these questions during a brief conversation.
The goal with this book is to give every business professional who is interested
in using more outside-in customer knowledge in the management of their
business a place to get information. This book is primarily a how-to guide.
Sure, it touches on the theory and concepts behind approaches here and
there, but, the thrust of the discussion will not be so much about convincing
you of the theory as much as it will provide examples, discuss methods,
allow you to participate in exercises, and review business cases from others
who have experienced success.

The Mirror Test
When
was the last time you did a mirror test on your company? You know, to make
sure that your business is still alive and breathing. Jeffrey Hayzlett
thinks you and your company need to do a mirror test right away.
Hayzlett is a big, boisterous guy who has the guts to get in your face and tell you exactly why your business isn't doing well. In short, he asks the questions that most business managers are afraid to ask. And, as Hayzlett points out, if you aren't willing to look at what's working and what isn't—and then take the necessary steps to fix it—you, your colleagues, and your employees are in for a tough ride.
In THE MIRROR TEST: Is Your Business Really Breathing? Hayzlett teaches readers through entertaining and timely anecdotes how to thoughtfully yet aggressively evaluate, deconstruct, and then reconstruct any business.
