Whether you are a global Fortune 500 organization or a small business Managing Customers Through Economic Cycles show you how to optimize your business's sales and marketing approaches specific to survive and thrive in each economic cycle and transition."The business case for continuing to invest in service and innovation can be compromised by an economic downturn. McKean clearly lays out the case for weathering the economic storm by achieving a careful balance of investment in the areas that truly matter - and continually using data to reinforce the idea that business can be more science than art, after all."
--Barbara Higgins, Vice-President, Worldwide Contact Centers, United Airlines
"John McKean's work has served as practical guide for me and my teammates. I have seen countless examples of businesses managing their customers' experience with a short term economic view. If the right principles are employed consistently, as John teaches us, we can create the right emotional experience that delivers growth and loyalty - as well as the improved operating leverage - that are needed in good times and in tough times. Consistency of values and experiences keeps companies from having to be reactionary and short sighted in a down economy. Thanks, John, for another practical lesson."--John Quinn, former Customer Service and Support Executive, Bank of America
"In good times and bad, forecasting where business is headed is both art and science. As John McKean so eloquently states, marrying data driven analytics with consumer insight is critical for managing through tough economic cycles. This book is a must read for anyone intent on driving greater profitability and consistently out-behaving the competition."
--Joni Newkirk, CEO, Integrated Insight, Inc., former SVP, Business Insight & Improvement, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts

into how businesses survive and thrive in a volatile economic climate."
--Trevor Dukes, Business Systems, WH Smith
"The rise of customer power coupled with challenging economic conditions demand that organizations leverage the power of the Internet and related technologies to stay relevant to their customers. As John McKean points out in his compelling new book, successful firms have built a core competency in leveraging information technology not only to survive economic transitions but thrive in an ever-changing economy."
--Erik Brynjolfsson, Professor, MIT Sloan School and co-author of Wired for Innovation: How Information Technology is Reshaping the Economy
"It would be hard to name a more relevant or timely topic for sales and marketing today than that of how to cope with economic downturns and upturns, and this is exactly the subject John McKean has insightfully tackled head-on in Managing Customers Through Economic Cycles."

This book addresses the practical knowledge, skills, and underlying disciplines that any business needs to proactively address the unique opportunities, challenges, and risks created by competitive market dynamics driven from changing customer needs and buying behaviours through prosperity, recession, recovery, and the return to prosperity.
The book presents the historic changes in customer behaviour in economic transitions with real world anecdotes of successes and failures of businesses responding to those changes. The examples are underpinned by a straightforward explanation of the "crunchy" science and disciplines explaining the "why".
The book will cover the following topics:
- Customer loyalty, satisfaction, retention, acquisition, consumer behavioural science;
- Employee dynamics under stress;
- Importance of the right information and data;
- Building and Transforming relevant Value Propositions;
- Building quantifiable business cases;
- marketing transformation (e.g. balancing brand protection with pricing decisions, traditional marketing/CRM, social network marketing/social CRM;
- business transformation (e.g. Organic Innovation, Mergers and Acquisitions)
- customer acquisition and retention techniques optimized for non-prosperity economic environments,
- the art and science of building quantifiable business cases for B2B business,
- balancing brand protection with pricing decisions,
- Marketing opportunity and economics for leveraging social media/social networks under tight budget constraints.
This very practical book will be a welcome addition to marketers struggling to know how to react to the current economic turbulence. It will arm them with the tools to push through the challenges facing them, and prepare them to be proactive rather than reactive to external market forces.
