4.0 out of 5 stars Content good - presentation not so good
While I'm finding the content of this book very helpful, I am amazed at the very poor editing. There are numerous typos and format errors to the point of distraction. I would expect this from a student paper thrown on the web, but not a published book and certainly not at the price I paid.

If you want to learn about Telecom Churn this is the book as long as you can...

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak writing style, short on content.
I bought this book so that I could get an in-depth understanding of churn, but what I found instead was a fifth-grade level writing style (like the "Dummies" books) that took basic concepts that could be written in one sentence and stretched them across many pages. This book focuses more on the various business tactics that are needed to run a business well, and...

This review is from: Telecom Churn Management (Customer Telecare Series) (Paperback)
I bought this book so that I could get an in-depth understanding of churn, but what I found instead was a fifth-grade level writing style (like the "Dummies" books) that took basic concepts that could be written in one sentence and stretched them across many pages. This book focuses more on the various business tactics that are needed to run a business well, and little attention to the math that factors into the churn calculations. I'm trying to implement churn analysis at my company, and this isn't helping as much as I expected it to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Coherent Business Strategy, June 21, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Telecom Churn Management (Customer Telecare Series) (Paperback)
This book by Rob Mattison articulates a coherent business strategy for telecomm in an era of competition. The basic principles of customer retention hold true for any service business. You should know your customer. This book will explain tools and techniques for doing just that and for marketing to that customer based upon the deep understanding of that customer's needs and motivations. Besides, it is a very readable text that communicates the core ideas effectively. Highly recommended for telecomm execs and for those suppliers who would understand the telecom provider as a customer.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on customer retention!, April 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Telecom Churn Management (Customer Telecare Series) (Paperback)
Robert Mattison has done a great job by writing this book. If you are looking for a reference book that you could use as to how to retain your customers, this is the book you are looking for! As a CRM consultant in the telco area, I have no doubt that I will make very good use of the book in my next project! I recommend it to both consultants and also to all the telco marketing and customer service people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mattison does it again, April 17, 2001
By 
This review is from: Telecom Churn Management (Customer Telecare Series) (Paperback)
Rob Mattison's book does an excellent job of simplifying the world of churn for the wireless operator. As the director of marketing for a wireless provider, figuring out how to approach the sticky issues of churn is a real challenge.

This book, like all of the books that Mattison has written about telecommunications, provides me with a clear, simple formula for understanding and addressing these issues.

I highly recommend this book to all telephone company executives.
