ou know your customers backward, forward, and sideways - not to mention upside down and inside out. One glance at your customer intelligence reveals a 360-degree view of your custom-Yers, segmented in ways that would earn you a place in the Database Mining Hall of Fame (if there were such a thing). Stand up and take a bow.OK, now what? The clock is ticking. Are you just going to sit there like a half-eaten sandwich while the competition conducts a schmooze-fest with your customers? Or will the hero in you put together a marketing strategy that builds - and sustains - a dialogue with your customers and best prospects? "Consumers want a relationship with an organization that will truly enrich their lives," says Jonathan Tisch, chairman and CEO of Loews Hotels. For most growing businesses, providing customers with a deeply rewarding experience is akin to finding the Holy Grail. Only a select few have mastered the challenge and made it to the top of their industry. It's not hard to see why. With competition growing at a frenetic pace, consumers are being flooded with products, sales pitches, and gimmicks. It can be confusing, and even overwhelming. "In the old days, if you had a great idea you just waded in," says marketing guru Jack Trout, coauthor of the best-selling book The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing. "Now you have to be much more sensitive to your competition, and you have to think about the competition as soon as you have a product idea. It's not about what you want, it's about what you can do."So how can you make your company stand out? How can you build an emotional bond with customers in a real, personal, and meaningful way? What follows are the 10 secrets to successful customer relationship marketing that can help you gain a competitive advantage. ?
