About The Relationship Revolution: Customers are angry. The turmoil of recession has left them feeling let-down, anxious and betrayed. They know how often businesses over-promise and under-deliver, and they’re now deeply cynical. Trust in business is at an all-time low. This defining moment calls for nothing less than a ‘Relationship Revolution’. In his new book, Larry Hochman, former European Business Speaker of the Year, outlines how the businesses that will prevail will be the ones who understand that customer relationships will be the dominant factor in determining success in the post-recession era.
