The MOVE Methodology - The Missing Manual for CRM

About the book

Most CRM projects fail quietly.

The platform gets implemented, the data gets migrated, the team gets trained - and then, slowly, nothing changes. Guests don’t feel known. Staff don’t trust the data. And the system that was supposed to drive loyalty ends up as an expensive contact list.

The MOVE Methodology gives you a practical, four-step framework to fix that. Written by three practitioners with deep experience across CRM, loyalty, and - yes - hospitality, it bridges the gap between the teams who know your customers and the systems that should.

Complete with practical frameworks and ready-to-use templates, this is the book that turns your CRM from a cost centre into a genuine competitive advantage.
