- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023Jeff- this book was / is a great guide for many in the CX space. Is that look at the People, Processes, Technology that drive a Digital Transformation. You have broken it down into a 101 class type material, that allows for easy references as needed along the many paths we all encounter. I appreciate you, what your doing here to help others, and so very glad our paths crossed due to Connexions (my part).
Thank you!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021Plenty of CX tomes out there. Many are interesting. Some are insightful. Few are practical. The Customer Experience Management Field Manual hits on all levels. This is a book you'll keep on the shelf as a reference. Jeff doesn't just tell you what you can be doing with CX...he gives you practical examples and templates to help you do it. This truly is a field manual that you'll likely end up with bent and worn pages from all the reaching back to the shelf to use it.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2021Jeff takes an interesting approach, drawing on his former military service to give structure to the book. It works well, providing a simple and clear approach. His emphasis throughout the book remains on the practical aspects of setting up or improving a customer experience program. And, which I love, he links the need for an outcome-based approach to a customer experience approach.
If you want practical, usable advice on customer experience, read this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021In this book Jeff Sheehan sets a clear and actionable path to start a sustainable and measurable CX Program from the ground. A must-read and handy reference for any CX leader that needs to set clarity and show early advancements in CX initiatives. Thanks Jeff for taking the time to write and publish this guide!

- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2021Far from being a textbook, Sheehan's field manual assumes the readers are already well versed in customer experience management (CX) concepts. This book lays out a total picture for what a CX program involves and offers practical, relevant and useful frameworks, ideas, and examples for the reader to use in their own work.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2021The book is a must read and reference document for any business that is serious about driving an exceptional customer experience. The content is exceptional and field manual format lends itself to be a reference manual over the course of building and sustaining a quality Customer Experience.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021This book would be an excellent Text for a Harvard MBA program. My 42 years in the Hospitality Industry was dedicated to the Total Guest Experience.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2022I ordered this book thinking it would be a practical guide for designing, implementing, and/or managing a successful CX program. I'm not a novice, and have both consumed and created a fair amount of content in this space. Unfortunately, I felt this book fell far short of being a practical guide. Again, only my opinion, but this reads more as an aggregation of content others have created, and I felt there was no added value from the author in that aggregation. I feel the book lacks any content about how to actually DO the work of creating or operating a CX management program, and that was a real disappointment, given the promise made by the book's title. In my opinion, if you want a real practical guide on CX program management, there are many other very useful alternatives available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lucid book on CXM.
The book is refreshingly lucidly written book on customer experience management giving a clear path to optimal achievement. Must read.
- Luke JamiesonReviewed in Australia on October 24, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource no matter your experience!
What a fabulous resource! Regardless of how long you have been in the industry, this is a must-have! It's grounded in common sense but enriched by someone with real-life experience. No matter where you are in your CX journey this field manual will help you walk, run and fly!
- Anna SchulzeReviewed in Germany on August 27, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Guide to Customer Experience Management
This is a book I will refer back to again and again. I've picked up many useful CX books over the years but Jeff's field guide is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive of the lot. It would be an indispensable reference to anyone starting out in their CX career but equally useful to seasoned practitioners. Everything here is oriented towards large companies with robust internal structures. Smaller companies and startups can benefit from the same concepts of customer experience management applied in a more agile and responsive environment. There is a fantastic array of tools, frameworks, guidelines and illustrations representing many aspects of core knowledge and proven best practices. These figures are somewhat wasted on the Kindle version but readers can easily correct that problem by using Kindle Cloud Reader to see them on the big screen of your choice. Paperback readers, get out your highlighters and Post-It notes!

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect guide for developing your CX management program
I’m a very methodical thinker so love the way this book is structured and find the content and tools available in this book extremely useful for developing a CX program.
I recently started a new role as Head of CX with a business that is just beginning it’s CX journey. After some time out of work due to COVID, the field guide has been the perfect resource for me to know where to focus my efforts - with great practical tools to deploy in the field.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to anyone working in CX tasked with developing (or evolving) a CX management program.
- Amazon CustomerReviewed in Germany on September 22, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference book to keep on your desk!
Jeff Sheehan's Customer Experience Management Field Manual is exactly that! It is a great reference book that you should keep on your desk or close at hand where you can pick it up quickly to answer any CX questions you may have. Jeff brings a wealth of experience to the table and you can see this in the book. I highly recommend the book to both those starting out in CX and to seasoned practitioners.
