For the past 25 years, the author has suggested this mix for a successful CRM initiative: people (50%), process (30%), and technology (20%) -- and still organizations often fail to devote the time and resources needed to address the inevitable people issues that come up.

Recognizing that many agencies would rather stay independent than be swallowed up by consolidators, Hicks researched the factors that are critical to remaining independent.
