Soundview Executive Book Summaries to Host Webinar with Bob Garfield & Doug Levy

Soundview Executive Book Summaries will host an interactive webinar on September 10th with best-selling authors Bob Garfield & Doug Levy, to discuss the concepts in their latest book, Can’t Buy Me Like.

Philadelphia, PA, September 06, 2013 --(PR.com)-- If you’re still selling goods and services by blanketing the world with advertising, trying to persuade or entertain or flatter consumers into submission, you are doing things all wrong.

In this Soundview Live webinar, How Authentic Customer Connections Drive Superior Results, Bob Garfield and Doug Levy will demonstrate that the currency of the Relationship Era is not awareness, or even quality; it is authenticity. They will describe the four forces that have disrupted the status quo and the how companies need to transform themselves by focusing all relationships around their core purpose.
