Truly, marketers have to shape up or watch their business go south. In this clear and comprehensive guide, renowned marketing expert Philip Kotler identifies the ten most common-and most damaging-mistakes marketers make, and how to avoid them. But these ten mistakes are much more than simple mess-ups; they're glaring deficiencies that prevent companies from succeeding in the marketplace. In Ten Deadly Marketing Sins, Kotler covers each sin in-depth in its own chapter and offers practical, proven guidance for reversing them. Marketers will learn how to stay market-focused and customer-driven, fully understand their customers, keep track of the competition, manage relationships with stakeholders, find new opportunities, develop effective marketing plans, strengthen product and service policies, build brands, get organized, and use technology to the fullest.

Good reminder material, but hardly revolutionary,
By
This review is from: Ten Deadly Marketing Sins: Signs and Solutions (Hardcover)
This is some good reminder material, but that is about it. He hardly mentions measuring the ROI of many of his "solutions", leading one to assume that adding an Intranet, Extranet, and CRM system are vital at all costs. Clearly, that is not the case.My big problem with this and many other marketing books is that there is such a HUGE difference between Industrial (B2B) and Consumer (B2C) marketing that Phil should have written two books like this one - one for each. It would have been much more useful to most of the reviewers, I am sure. I have used the consulting firm he credits in his acknowledgements (Hamilton Consultants) and find them very, very good. Overall, this is a quick read, a nice reminder of things we still forget to do, but hardly an earth shattering best seller. I agree with others that I expected a little more from Phil Kotler.

A magazine article at best,

This review is from: Ten Deadly Marketing Sins: Signs and Solutions (Hardcover)
A nice summary that should have been a 5-6 page magazine article.Not enough material to justify the price tag.

No Sparkle, A Mere Retirement Sweetener,
By Just My Opinion (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ten Deadly Marketing Sins: Signs and Solutions (Hardcover)
Kotler has always been a very lucid author on issues pertaining to marketing. With marketing moving into a new era, namely relationship, one-to-one he has become somewhat stale. This book contains rehashed old issues, and is merely a compilation of past theories. I get the distinct feeling this book was written to capitalise on his name, and to feather his nest before retirement. His earlier books are better.
