  1. Michael

    This is one of the best and most useful books on marketing I have ever read. Even after 20 years, I still often refer to some of its most memorable and vital lessons. It’s simple, mid-Western, plain-speaking style, cuts through the bullshit that characterizes so much of today’s marketing literature. Think of this as part of the pantheon that includes Reis & Trout, Leavitt and Peters, but with a directness and accessibility that makes it ready to use for your entire organization. It’s focus on service also makes it required reading for anyone delving into the field of service design. [Review from Goodreads]

  2. Nic

    Some nuggets in this book. Interesting stories to go along with some of the ideas and lessons. On the whole an easy read but some of it was obvious and repetitive. [Review from Goodreads]
