stakeholders with whom an employee interacts. The author identifies four key
groups:
Contactor - Have frequent contact with the customer or stakeholder and must
be well versed in the firm's marketing strategies in order to represent the
brand
Modifier - People such as receptionists and telephone operations who also
have direct contact, but generally for a brief amount of time. They should be
able to represent the brand well during this brief amount of time
Influencer - People who have little to no customer contact, but whose work is
necessary to support the efforts of those who are in more frequent contact
Isolated - people who are fairly well isolated from contact with the outside
world, such as the payroll accounting department and desktop support. These
are utility functions within the firm, whose work is necessary to support others
