Customer CEO, by Chuck Wall

Your customers have the power – and whether you like it or not, that power can make your company successful or bury you in the bone-yard. Chuck provides great advice on how to profit from that power, and how to make it grow – even in a downward climate. The book’s simple, three-step formula lays it out for you: Customer Power + Active Engagement = Transformative Profit. Every customer wants to know, “What’s in it for me?” and this book helps you frame your answer so that everyone can succeed.

I Love You More Than My Dog, by Jeanne Bliss

Jeanne knocks it out of the park once again. She lays it on the line, emotionally and with heartfelt passion. Every section makes sense, and more importantly, are moralistic. Her stories about “beloved companies” will stir you. If not, I ask why not? After reading this book, it was so much on my mind that I introduced our CEO as our “beloved president” to a large management meeting. (Luckily, this was met with humor and others wanted to know if they were beloved also.) Just read the book – the values she highlights are hard to argue against. Net, net, this is the one I gifted our CEO. (He continues to quote pieces from it.)

Something must set your business apart from the rest of the crowd.

From pet goldfish in a lonely travelers hotel room, to tiny worry dolls given as special gifts at the conclusion of dining out, Stan sets the stage for adding extra touches that take the ordinary to extraordinary. If you’re looking for ideas, read the real, applicable innovations these companies have provided to create truly amazing customer experiences. It doesn’t have to take a lot to make that difference – and Stan proves it throughout this interesting, and eye-opening, book.
