...help in selecting 10 outfits, tries them all on and leaves without buying even a belt.

Business people have always known that some customers aren't worth the trouble. Now Selden and Colvin show, through vivid examples, how much companies can gain by comprehensively tracking and examining the costs and benefits of each customer relationship. (Fidelity...

Last year the group added an extra layer of intimacy to its web of support. Each member took a decorative angel inscribed with her name to the December meeting. Then the women passed the angels around in a circle while one member read a poem. When the poem ended, each woman found herself holding the name--and angel--of her new individual cheerleader.
