Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.The 1951 song “Getting to Know You” by Oscar Hammerstein produced for the classic musical “The King and I” might be the marketing hymn of the 21st century.

There is one thing about every human that you or I know – all of us are consumers. All of us. We are not just any consumers now that the 21st century is rollicking through its years, but in fact, we are exceptionally bright consumers who are knowledgeable, technology savvy, and know that we have instantaneous information on services and products from trusted sources online. We also know that critical to our consumer lives is control over what content we are provided and what information we are asked to give.

CRM: A Gamble No More
Early corporate investments in customer relationship management (CRM) capabilities delivered questionable returns. Bruised by the recession and smarting from an IT-spending frenzy, executives commonly viewed CRM investments as a gamble in the early 2000s. But the odds of CRM investments paying off have greatly improved in the past five years, and customer-experience innovations in the gaming have lead the way.

Leadership Perspective: The Power of Influence
Years ago, a football player at Baylor University reminded me of one of the most important lessons about relationships. As head coach, I’d just told my team about what it would take to become unified. I said that they had to care about each other, to love each other, in order to become team players.
Mike Singletary, then a junior, waited for me after that meeting. He said, “Coach, before I can love someone, I have to respect him.” That’s a great observation, worthy of repeating. The point is very simple: You can’t have any relationship – not a team network, not a marriage, not a business contract – without trust. You can’t have trust and caring without respect.

Ethics of Selling
Reclaiming Salesmanship without Selling Your Soul
In 1992 Hollywood released a film titled “Glengarry Glen Ross,” the story of a failing real estate office in which four real estate salesmen are told by management that two of them will face certain termination if significant property sales are not immediately forthcoming. The top two producers are promised substantial bonuses. How the salesmen generate leads and pursue sales over the next 24 hours within a pressure cooker of unrelenting scrutiny from management and intense competition among themselves has become an academic study of sales ethics used by university marketing departments throughout the country.

Research in Action
The Use of Data Programs by Salespeople and the Effect on Customers
John F. Tanner Jr., associate dean of Research & Faculty Development, is involved in a qualitative research study evaluating salespeople and the ways they use data to segment buyers. The study is being done in Mexico, France, and the United States. Tanner has found that while salespeople use the data to plan sales calls and account strategies, organizations are not leveraging the power of the information to inform company strategy. The research study looks at technology and the transition organizations make from sales-focused data systems to broader customer relationship management systems.
