Jump Start Your Marketing Brain. Doug Hall
eBay
“This is a blockbuster work which skillfully blends research and practice. It is NOT another Marketing book to leave on a shelf. Jump Start Your MARKETING Brain instead, should sit on your desk, engines revving, until you pick it up and rocket down the road toward profit! The competition will eat your dust.”
“Doug Hall builds on his legacy as the hardest working, most passionate author touring America today. Jump Start Your MARKETING Brain features the richest research and deepest thinking on marketing ever found in a business book. Doug’s tireless commitment to helping independent booksellers survive and thrive is unmatched by any business author.”
“This is the most complete and comprehensive book on what it takes to market your business. It’s insightful about human behavior, pragmatic, and powerful. The concepts are simple yet provide the answers to the many brain-torquing questions challenging managers today. This work is provocative; one reading is hardly enough. I view it as a handbook I will be walking around with for many years to come with many pages dogeared and scribbled on.”
“For those of us with a short attention span, Jump Start Your MARKETING Brain is a tremendous resource. You can pick it up for a few minutes and read a couple of pages. However, what I have found is that once I pick it up, I end up reading for an hour. Great stuff! I’m planning on using a couple of pages as an icebreaker and conversation starter for our weekly marketing meetings.”
“Jump Start Your MARKETING Brain is the new and ultimate marketing reference book on how to create, develop, market, and manage brands strategically for the twenty-first century. It details how to make a real difference in the marketplace and how to actively nurture brands for permanent growth. It’s a masterpiece!”
