'Dr Phil Klaus's investigation and findings on how to measure and improve Customer Experience addresses one of the most pressing issues for marketeers and businesses today. His erudite approach to the subject breaks new ground with the EXQ technique being one that will in due course filter down into the practice of advanced marketeers.'

-Crispin Rogers, Director Targeted Marketing, Visa Europe

'Move past individual customer service with this systematic 'next-practice' guide to thinking beyond the simple transaction, enhancing your total customer experience and increasing profitability.'

-Ian Di Tullio, Director Loyalty Marketing , Air Canada

'This book provides a useful roadmap, addressing the pressing questions managers face: Where are we currently in terms of managing and measuring customer experience? Where do we want to be? And most important, how do we get there?'

-Katherine N. Lemon, PhD, Accenture Professor of Marketing, Chair, Marketing Department, Carroll School of Management, Boston College

"We know that customer loyalty is one of the most important drivers for the business performance, particularly at a professional service firm. However, we didn't know what exactly affected it. Through dedicated research, Phil clearly demonstrated the solution by presenting the conceptual model and measurement tool. This is an excellent book and I strongly recommend this to all the executives involved in measuring everything related to customers."

-Dr. Junichi Kato, Managing Director TMF Group Japan
