Book Description

August 19, 2011

Build Customer Relationships and Win Big Revenue!

“Unbreakable relationships are crucial to success in business. Lou Imbriano captures what it takes to forge the kind of deep credibility that encourages consumers and clients to trust you with their hard-earned dollars. If you want to deepen your customers’ trust and grow your revenues, I suggest you read Winning the Customer and you will win.”
—Bob Reynolds, President & CEO, Putnam Investments

“Lou Imbriano rescues the word ‘winning’ from the clutches of Charlie Sheen . . . and, like a Patriots playbook, Lou takes you through his game plan for successfully building a victorious team that opponents will respect and fear . . . from who should be answering your phone to effectively saying ‘no,’ it’s all there . . . lazy, unmotivated people, this is not for you. . . .”
—Steve Levy, ESPN SportsCenter anchor

“Imbriano definitely made his mark in the NFL and now he’s an MVP again with his new book, Winning the Customer. Lou’s down-to-earth marketing philosophies, which he brought to the Patriots, epitomize how everyone, in any industry, should approach marketing. If you want to truly know how to build remarkable business relationships, read Winning the Customer.”
—Michael O’Hara Lynch, Head of Global Sponsorship, Visa

“At a time when consumers have the power to use media where and how they choose, to like, dislike, and share their opinion on products and corporations, brand engagement is the best answer to build emotional and enduring relationships between brands and all their relevant communities. This book should be given to anyone who wants to understand the new dynamics that can bond brands with their ever-demanding customers.”

About the Book:

During his nine years in senior marketing positions with the New England Patriots, Lou Imbriano laid the foundation and marketing vision for the football team that led to its astronomical growth and explosive revenue—perfectly positioning them to be ready for when the Patriots became repeat Super Bowl champions and the NFL brand to beat.

Now CEO of TrinityOne, a strategic marketing firm, Lou has an undefeated record of showing all types of companies how to tackle customer relationships and convert them into tangible revenue. In Winning the Customer, Lou delivers his original strategies for both short- and long-term financial success:

  • The Marketing Playbook: how to identify those who are dying to spend money with you
  • Relationship Architecture: how to connect with customers in meaningful ways and create “memorable moments”
  • The Revenue Game: how to build revenue instead of selling concepts

Throughout the book, you’ll find Lou’s dynamic personal stories drawn right from his years of real-world business experience. He’s learned that to maximize revenue, every organization must both turn its customers into fans and coax those fans to spend freely. Winning the Customer shows you how to do just that using the Three Tiers of Customer Relationships. Imbriano shares his strategies with his innovative DELIVERS system: Dedication, Entertainment, Loyalty, Investment, Vision, Energy, Responsibility, and Sacrifice.

Filled with practical information and written in Lou’s inimitable conversational style, Winning the Customer is your all-pro offensive attack against old, ineffective methods and flat results. Lou’s tools will give any business an inspired team, supersized income, and a virtual stadium full of engaged, high-paying customers.

Format:Hardcover
I was fortunate to get an advance copy of Winning the Customer and truly found it valuable. Lou Imbriano, former CMO for the New England Patriots, combines fantastic business insights with engaging stories, many centering around his experience with the Patriot's organization, as well as a bevy of other anecdotes.

I have personally been involved in creating major customer loyalty efforts and the counsel that Lou and Elizabeth put forth in this book is dead-on for a new era of customer engagement.

While the stories utilize sports analogies for illustrative (and entertainment) purposes, the ideas are applicable to virtually any company, big or small, B2B or B2C and industry agnostic.

You will want to add this one to your business library immediately and should find yourself referring back to continue to create customer engagement, increase revenues and create win-win scenarios between your business and its biggest fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars KNOWLEDGE, RESPONSIBILITY, LOYALTY November 3, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
What makes Winning The Customer so great are the personal experiences that have been applied to Lou Imbriano's tactics. Lou has shared many of his strategies that develop a great foundation for any business, large or small. His information is not just here say--it's the real thing HE LIVES IT!

His success has come from the values he lives by and the respect he has for all individuals. Winning The Customer outlines the effort that should be given to a campaign and the people involved.

I highly recommended Winning The Customer. Through this book I realized that knowledge should be broad, taking responsibility is a must and loyalty is priceless. That's why Lou wins the customer.

Businesses will benefit from the examples Lou has shared with everyone.
