New Ways to Reach Your Customers
Benson P. Shapiro and John Wyman
By combining traditional and evolving communications approaches, marketers can design more flexible and cost-efficient marketing programs. The "marketing-oriented income statement" provides a powerful tool for combining the best of the traditional methods, such as personal selling and media advertising, with the best of the new techniques, such as telemarketing and national account management.

Automation to Boost Sales and Marketing
Rowland T. Moriarty and Gordon S. Swartz
Marketing and sales costs average 15% to 35% of total corporate costs. Marketing and sales productivity (MSP) systems harness the power of the computer to improve productivity by coordinating the complete range of sales and marketing activities. Carefully planned automation systems will increase a company's competitive advantage, leading to higher profits.

Teamwork for Today's Selling
Frank V. Cespedes, Stephen X. Doyle, and Robert J. Freedman
In today's complex environment, selling efforts must often be coordinated across product lines, functions, and geographic locations, to customers with similarly decentralized purchasing processes. Executives need to focus training, compensation systems, and goal-setting programs to encourage commitment to the team. Well-managed team relationships will translate into customer satisfaction, profitable sales, and a long-term competitive edge.
