Winning With Customers
Winning With Customers shares the insights gained from our experiences developed while executing outside-in customer approaches. We speak often to professionals in many different settings and the most common interests are: How do you do this? How do you get started? What do you do?

Our goal with this book is to give every business professional a resource for using more outside-in customer knowledge in the management of their business.
