Digital Sense Reviews

"This book is a requirement for leaders who, like me, believe that building companies that put their people and their customers in the center of every decision and strategy is the only way to go." ~ @petershankman Peter Shankman, author of Nice Companies Finish First and founder of Help a Reporter Out (HARO) and the Shankminds Entrepreneurial Community This book equips managers and professional communicators with new tools to increase customer satisfaction and, even, employee happiness. This book keeps you from being a digital @#%hole and making mistakes that can cause deep pain for those who watch over a company s reputation. ~ @scobleizer Robert Scoble, technical evangelist, futurist, author at Scobleizer Organizations that fail to treat the customer as the #1 asset in a digital world will face extinction and this book and practical solutions will help leaders implement and build a customer-centric marketing plan that is both innovative and reliable. ~ @jeannebliss Jeanne Bliss, author of Chief Customer Officer 2.0 and cofounder Customer Experience Professionals Association The next 20 years will see more change than the previous 300 and this book will help organizations build an agile strategy that gives them a sustainable model for navigating these shifts with a human-centric culture and customer experience. ~ @gleonhard Gerd Leonhard, futurist and author of Technology vs. Humanity Digital Sense is common sense for the digital world but for most organizations, it's not common yet. Travis and Chris do a terrific job of explaining how to successfully adapt your business to this new environment with a thoroughly engaging narrative. Two thumbs up! ~ @chiefmartec Scott Brinker, CTO, author, and chair of the MarTech Conference These days, your competitive advantage will come from your ability to focus your entire company on creating the ultimate customer experience. Travis and Chris will show you how. Written with energy, humor, and an in-your-face style that will keep you engaged page after page, Digital Sense is a must-read. ~ @stevefarber Steve Farber, author of The Radical Leap, The Radical Edge, and Greater Than Yourself When you focus on the future, you're doing something right. The authors' blueprint an easy-to-follow playbook for any size business to use as a template for success in this digital driven world. The strategies in the book pinpoint practices that are sure to become industry standards." ~ @marshacollier Marsha Collier, author of The Ultimate Online Customer Service Guide and many other best-selling books "In order to truly succeed as a human organization you must create organization-wide digital sense and this book gives you a playbook and the inspiration to lead that transformation". ~ @bryankramer Bryan Kramer - bestselling author, keynote and TED speaker, and CEO If you think I'm going to give a positive, biased review of this book solely because I host a podcast with Travis, you'd be wrong. In fact, working closely with him over the years makes me more critical of his work. So let me say this: Digital Sense is not chock full of generic, vanilla advice. This book is stuffed to the rafters with everything you need -- strategically and tactically -- to succeed in today's digital marketing minefield, illustrated throughout with inspirational and practical case studies. ~@TheRealSJR Stewart Rogers, journalist, analyst, and speaker at VentureBeat and VB Insight
