4.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent primer on B2B Marketing Mar 1 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
In particular, the first section is very useful. Robert makes a very clear distinction between traditional marketing and B2B. I find many marketers struggle with this important distinction. The rest of the book is good and useful, but it is the context created in the first few chapters that I found the most valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for B2B Salespeople too! Jan 5 2003
Format:Hardcover
This book is well worth the cover price. It will make you think about every single word you put on your marketing material. I encourage sales professionals to read it too. Reason: So many of the Salespeople I consult with are responsible to write their own letters and are sending numerous emails to clients. The more you can understand the art of persuasion and word power, the better your sales!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong in hands on advice, low in hype Sep 9 2002
Format:Hardcover
One of the few business books I have not regreted buying. Will give it to my marketing communications manager, fair and events manager, etc to read the respective sections. The part about "lazy" copywriting is especially amusing.
