Notes
Wither Inverse of CRM
Should VRM be constrained/defined by calling in the inverse of CRM?
Inverse is an easy introduction, but has limits.
Circular buying process, ignorance, education, transaction, to sustained relationship. Otherwise we get laser focused on the transaction... and we need a broader palette (and palate!).
Definitely need to be more than transaction.
At the same time, the reciprocal of CRM, if viewed as Marketing, Sales, and Customer Support, itemizes three foci, entirely from the vendors perspectives. And yet, if we look at it from the individual's perspective, those are not necessarily the things we are looking for.

Public Call?
November 21 is the next public call. We will open it to a wider group. We discussed the challenges of that and generally agreed to try managing trollish behavior on an exceptional notice.
