Product Description

From Amazon

Get Clients Now: A 28-Day Marketing Program for Professionals and Consultants, by business coach C.J. Hayden, lays out a very precise marketing and sales system actually designed to be completely customized for optimal effectiveness by anyone in the service industry. Employing a "cookbook model" to help readers create this individualized action plan, it first shows how to determine which ingredients are missing from current marketing and sales activities and then suggests the specific tools and tactics that will immediately get a successful effort underway. The truly unique part of this book, however, begins in chapter 6, which breaks down Hayden's explicit four-week system into 28 separate sections that are meant to be read and acted upon one day at a time. The volume's final part, called "The Strategies," then outlines a collection of practical "marketing recipes" that correspond to various plans of attack determined earlier in the process. Each offers realistic tips (on topics such as direct contact and follow-up, networking and referral building, and writing and publicity) that directly correspond to the personal goals, strengths, and weaknesses readers already have identified. Further advice and inspirational anecdotes from recognized experts, along with additional resources, are also interspersed throughout the text. --Howard Rothman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overwhelming and a little flawed., Jun 1 2004
By

Marketing Experts tend to fall to one extreme or another. They either provide too little guidance, imagining marketing too large and amorphous to summarize simply; or they overwhelm you with details and possibilities. This book falls into the latter category. It tells you everything you need to know and do to build a successful consultant practice - everything. With a nod to complexity, the middle section of the book is taken up with a 28-day plan that lays out a process to increase your client base.

If you are the systematic sort, or someone who responds well to daily checklists, the 28-day plan may work for you. It also encourages insight - you're given days off and self-reflection tasks in addition to the down and dirty marketing tasks.

The book is also a treasure trove of tips, ideas, and concrete marketing for an individual consultancy. It could be a very good book, and may be for many people, despite its flaws.

What are its flaws, you ask? First, I think it would benefit from professional editorial help. It has the beginnings of some very interesting structure (e.g. starting out with quotes from marketing pros), but it still seems like about three or four short books, rather than one short book. Second, its visual design is atrocious. From the differing (and poorly chosen) typefaces, to the hoky and distracting illustrations and graphics (yes - and look at that cover!), the book has an awkward feel. Even little touches would help. For instance, a significant worksheet that is obviously too small could be made available online in full format, rather than the author suggesting that you expand it on your copier.

Overall, this book is a diamond-in-the-rough. You can get a lot out of it, but you'll have to work to make use of what it has to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Specific help where you are stuck, July 9 2004
By 
Lynellen Perry "lynellenDOTcom" (Dumfries, VA USA) - See all my reviews

Anyone who has read a marketing book already knows about the strategies of direct contact, networking, referrals, public speaking, writing, publicity, promotional events, and advertising. But this book totally changed my thinking about how to choose a strategy, based on my need at the moment: filling the pipeline, following up, or getting appointments (and sales). Each marketing strategy has a different value in terms of effective outreach, visibility, and credibility. CJ Hayden details lots of ideas for taking action to help you get unstuck. Whether you use the 28-day action plan or simply redirect your focus, you will benefit from reading this book.

Ahem, Ahem, Ahem....let me clear my throat and then simply say: This is a fantastic book that takes common marketing knowledge to new heights. The simple step-by-step marketing strategies are designed to help any and every small business succeed.
