Review: "Simply Better is a back-to-basics manifesto for today's businesses. Barwise and Meehan argue that successful differentiation lies not in unique selling propositions, but in generic category benefits, such as good service, on-time delivery, and quality products, that any company can provide. The key is to deliver these consistently better than competitors. Illustrating this customer-focused differentiation through vivid examples of companies, including Toyota, P&C, Hilti, Tesco, and Ryanair, Simply Better outlines an actionable framework managers can use." "Simply Better shows how meeting and exceeding the most ordinary of customer expectations can lead to extraordinary - and lasting - rewards."--BOOK JACKET.
