Where this book seems to me to differ from many books about
marketing is in its specificity. The advice and guidelines that
it offers are clear, crisp and specific. The ideas contained
in this book can be of enormous help across a wide range of industries.
The non-profit performing arts world would benefit agreat deal
from applying the principles found here.

Data-Driven Business Models offers unique insight into
database marketing. Alan Weber created a “how to book” that methodically
takes you step by step through a rational process and the benefits
of change. This book is more than analytics, it is an entrepreneurial
treatise fully exploring the direct linkage between customers,
business models, teams and the need for measuring execution.

Alan Weber's knowledge of database marketing is based on many
years of hands-on experience. He also writes extremely well.
His explanations avoid jargon and concentrate on getting his
points across very clearly so that readers can understand them.
There are few experts in the industry who have both the experience
and writing skill of Alan Weber. His new book, Data-Driven
Business Models is great. I love it. I can highly recommend
Data-Driven Business Models to anyone who wants to understand
the marketing industry today.

Almost every busy person I know wants to find “the answer” on
how to best grow their business. However, so few take the time
to look for those answers in a systematic way. Even fewer have
the ability to take those answers and put them into action. In
his new book Data-Driven Business Models Alan Weber
gives business leaders the information they need to set about
building their organizations in a logical and strategic manner.
From the latest in business modeling to customer value indexing,
Alan’s book
delivers what business leaders must know in order to achieve
sustained success.
Like Peter Drucker said, “Marketing is everything.” Drucker
would love this book.

Alan Weber has written the definitive “how-to” political bible
for implementing a database marketing program. An essential read
for any business that is trying to revamp their current database
operations and systems. He shares his war stories and his tactics
for successful campaigns to win the war in database marketing.
Alan’s keen insight and careful observations come from years
of experience in the trenches of database operations. Reading
the book is akin to having your own database consultant by your
side!
