Getting started with CIM: Jeff Schumacher, Partner, McKinsey & Company, discusses Customer Interaction Models

- How the proliferation in communication channels and market segments is forcing marketers to segment customers according to how they interact, rather than what (or how much) they buy
- The three key elements of CIM – understanding this new customer perspective, creating a “lean backbone,” and growing revenues from high-value customers
- What marketers must do to begin using CIMs
