“SPARK!”

KNTH Radio and Baker Communications CEO Walter Rogers join forces to break down and discuss Walter’s new book “SPARK!”.

 

SPARK! is a practical guide that outlines eleven best practices critical for the success of any CRM enablement effort. SPARK! is NOT a technical guide because CRM enablement is not a technology problem; it is a behavioral problem. Technology solutions, by themselves, do not change behavior.

 

SPARK! nails down some of the most stubborn behavioral obstacles of CRM adoption with fresh techniques and uncovers the hidden angles and avenues to CRM success. It injects new life into the conversation about CRM adoption by distilling the discussion down to only the most important, actionable concepts. The innovative new format of SPARK! makes for a crisp, quick read both piecemeal on the go or straight through cover to cover. To request a copy of SPARK! click here.
