Wanting to earn money as a youngster, Crosby took jobs that early on taught him the value of customer loyalty. In his first adult career, as a journalist writing for daily newspapers and national magazines, he learned how to communicate with another type of customer – the reader. An earlier book he edited with commentary, Person-To-Person Management, helped lead him to a new career in marketing. It was then, through hands-on experience and the teachings of such experts as management guru, Peter Drucker, he learned that the end result of business – both for profit or nonprofit organizations – should not be viewed from an internal perspective but from the point of view of the customer.
In his latest book Crosby documents his education as a marketer and explains the critical nature of the customer-centric approach in today’s unique marketing environment. He also writes a blog: www.its-the-customer-stupid.com.
