Customer Reviews

Okay, but not what I expected
This book is OK if you actually have a product to sell. If your business, like mine, is a service business this book offers little help in creating "Off the Wall" marketing ideas. At least 70% of the book involves high dollar radio, TV, and other expensive marketing ideas. Very little practical examples of non budget busting ideas...

A Great "Success" Book for Everyone
I loved this book! I am not in marketing, but found it to be a great read. The words and ideas just flow off the page. This book is jam-packed with ideas about starting a business and getting one going. However, a lot of the of the ideas can relate to any business success(not just your own) and can also be carried into interactions with people in the context of daily living. It is so easy to read and get pulled into this book! There are many stories about successful entrepreneurs and their "secrets to success." But nothing gets dragged out. Everything is to the point and fun to read. Some are just so unusual, they are hard to imagine. Anyone at all can read this book and find it not only enjoyable but useful.

Right on the mark
Don't be fooled--the ideas in this book are hardly off the wall. They are right on and make a lot of sense. The book is accessible, interesting and applicable to a wide range of businesses. The authors clearly practice what they preach. I have been using the ideas from this book since I started my business; it continues to offer useful and timely advice.
