-Katherine N. Lemon, PhD, Accenture Professor of Marketing, Chair, Marketing Department, Carroll School of Management, Boston College

"We know that customer loyalty is one of the most important drivers for the business performance, particularly at a professional service firm. However, we didn't know what exactly affected it. Through dedicated research, Phil clearly demonstrated the solution by presenting the conceptual model and measurement tool. This is an excellent book and I strongly recommend this to all the executives involved in measuring everything related to customers."
