Martha's experience, expertise, and ability to think "out of the box" makes her equally popular with media interviewers, speaking event planners, and Fortune 1000 executives seeking to learn how to compete in the Information Age, how to get a payoff from their CRM software and technology, how to build the value of their customer base, and how to cascade the changes needed in an organization to realize ROC – the return on the investment companies make in their customers.

With Don Peppers, Dr. Rogers has co-authored six best-selling books on these subjects: The first, The One to One Future(Currency/Doubleday 1993), celebrating its 11th year in print, was named by Inc. magazine's editor, George Gendron, as "one of the two or three most important business books ever written" and is widely acknowledged as the bible of the customer strategy revolution. The second, Enterprise One to One, received a top 5-star rating from the Wall Street Journal. One to One B2B made the NY Times Business Best Seller list within a month of its publication in 2001. The books have sold over a million copies and appear in a total of 14 languages. Managing Customer Relationships, the sixth Peppers and Rogers book, published in April 2004, is a desk reference and textbook that serves as a much-needed compendium of what we've learned in the past ten years about building customer value. The book hit the "top ten" business book list on amazon.com the first day it was announced.

Peppers' and Rogers' most innovative strategic thinking is embodied in their newest book, Return On Customer^sm (or ROC), released in June 2005. This breakthrough business publication advances the concepts and tenets of business valuation to the next evolutionary stage, documenting the customer base as a revenue-producing asset for businesses, capable of driving a company's long-term economic worth. It quickly climbed to the top 20 business books on Amazon, and was ranked #1 in book sales with 800-CEO-Read. Return On Customer^sm was released as an international edition in September 2005, and was cited again by 800-CEO-Read as in the Top 10 business books of 2005.
