Barton Goldenberg, Author and Founder & President, ISM Inc.

Barton founded a pioneering firm, ISM, in 1985, when the concept of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) was taking form. As an entrepreneur, futurist, author, and accomplished speaker, he brings real-world experience with clients including Giorgio Armani, ExxonMobil, Jaguar Land Rover, Johnson Controls, Kraft Foods, Marriott,T. Rowe Price, and Zumba Fitness to his signature “top-down/bottom-up” approach of integrating people, process and technology. His methodologies – that ensure the success of customer-centric initiatives – are widely recognized as the industry standard. In 2003, Barton was honored for his contributions as one of the first three inductees into the CRM Hall of Fame.

Goldenberg and his management team provide strategic services to best-in-class organizations planning and implementing CRM/Social CRM, Big Data Analytics & Insight, Knowledge Communities, Customer Experience and Channel Optimization.

A Customer-Driven Advocate

As a customer-driven advocate, Barton saw that the Internet and mobile/wireless technologies could serve customers in Real Time, a concept Barton developed and promoted beginning in 2000. Whether business-to-business or business-to-consumer, customer expectations must be met in Real Time, which Barton addressed in his book: CRM in Real Time (InfoToday). His earlier book, CRM Automation, (Prentice Hall) is considered the primer for companies implementing customer-focused programs.

Celebrating a 30-Year Anniversary and a Benchmark New Book

His new book – The Definitive Guide to Social CRM – will be published March 20th by Pearson, the #1 global publisher. Barton will address the important topic of integrating ‘social insight’ into CRM initiatives as part of his speaker engagements to conference and business audiences ranging from Gartner to Fortune 500 companies.

“Barton Goldenberg has been at the forefront of CRM for 30 years. As a regular columnist to CRM Magazine since our launch in 1997, Barton has influenced our audience in print, online and as a conference chair and speaker at our annual CRM Evolution Conference & Exhibition. The Definitive Guide to Social CRM is a must read for anyone trying to get verifiable return-on-investment with their Social CRM projects.”
