It is peculiar how designers love to generate innovation and value for companies, but they usually don't like to talk about sales. A good user experience does not depend only on what you see on the screen, and experiences have a lot in common with access and consumption. UX is about the entire way in which a given company responds to the needs of its network of contacts. That's where CRM comes in. These tools are inherently neutral, and you can use them to trick as many people as possible or provide them with the best possible UX. Antonio's book has a different approach, well beyond just the tool, the book is helpful to many of us; those who would like to learn about CRM but don't know where to start; those who do not know, as well as those not yet interested in learning what CRM is; and mostly to those who think that CRM is a magical technology that will solve their real-world problems just installing software on a server. Finally - the book - is SUPER helpful for those who really intend to try to achieve their success by improving the overall brand’s user experience. Enjoy reading! -- Leandro Agró, Design Executive, IxD/UX expert, IoT pioneer, book author, and patents contributor; Designing Spatial Computing for desirable futures; Winner of Apple design project in 1997; Palo Alto, CA. Finally, here is a highly accessible book focusing on CRM for small- and medium-sized enterprises, written by a practitioner. The book is easy to read with minimum jargon. Appropriately, this book has a strong focus on the sales process and customer service – areas of priority for small and mid-sized businesses pursuing growth strategies. Author Antonio Specchia addresses key aspects of CRM implementation including guidance on the selection of a CRM platform. Recommended for the management of SMEs! -- Adrian Payne, Emeritus Professor, University of New South Wales, Australia- Author of the Handbook of CRM. Antonio Specchia is an experienced and intelligent CRM thinker and doer. And his book not only shows that but reinforces it. It is an excellent handbook for especially the small and midsized businesses in what CRM is, why CRM is important, who should consider it and even how to implement it. I highly recommend it because it gives any practitioner or future practitioner what they need to make CRM work - and that is something that we all need to know. -- Paul Greenberg, author, CRM at the Speed of Light
