Reader Reviews
Barton Goldenberg carries more CRM knowledge in his little finger than most "global" consulting firms have on staff. Plus, it's practical, actionable knowledge. He's packed an amazing amount of his experience and wisdom inside this very well laid-out, extremely readable book. It doesn't belong on your bookshelf. It belongs on your desk. Opened.
