This was a thoroughly enjoyable and eye-opening book. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The book has lots of examples and easily explains how our brain functions relative to purchasing products and services. Some of the stuff I already knew, but much of it I did not. It's not just for marketers or [...]

This book is specifically geared towards existing small business owners who are in the B2B service segment; that is, they sell [...]
