The New Formula: R + M = IR2
But — what if the new norm is a slippery slope? What if it's not a question of "juice and squeeze" but of "succeed or fail"? I'm not sure this change is really voluntary.
The concept of relationship marketing seems right to many of us — at least on paper. In fact, if you have worked in the commercial sector, you know that integrated relationship marketing is not a new idea, and for many CEOs and CMOs it is certainly not perceived as voluntary. With that said, our commercial partners will also be the first to say it is not easy, and for many of them changing the way things have been done in the past can be like moving a barge. For many, that change is still occurring. But, let's be clear: It's not voluntary. It is viewed as the only way to stay competitive, to keep their customers from defecting — it's necessary to succeed.
