I bought this book with some skepticism. After all, if it only takes 7 aseconds to market something, why does a whole industry exist to help the would-be entrepreneur spend a whole lot more? On reading the book the term 'catch-phrase' takes on a new (and profitable) meaning. Every telesales person knows that he/she has about 4 seconds at the start of a cold call to get the prospect's interest and the 'initial benefit statement' which helps can be difficult to create. 'Seven Second Marketing' shows the reader how to create not just a general IBS but one which will stick in the mind of the prospect after the call is concluded - and still be there when the Sale Process is continued at a later date. The essence of the memory hook, as Dr Misner describes it, is that it is short, relevant AND memorable. This book shows how to create one and I recommend it strongly to anyone who needs to be remembered by first-met acquaintances, business or social (or even political!) Since reading this book I purchased two other books by Dr Misner and both have contributed to my success as a self-employed businessman. See the Amazon Index for details of these books. Happy Marketing!
