Product Description

Product Description
Marketing Your Services You may be one of the best doctors, consultants, accountants, caterers, or investment advisors around, but when it comes to marketing your service, you may also be the first one to admit, "I don′t know what to do." Now, here′s a book that shows you, step by step, how to market your services––painlessly, confidently, profitably. Marketing Your Services shows you:
∗ How to define and promote your services to the right market
∗ How to differentiate your business from other similar businesses
∗ How to price and package your services
∗ How to turn qualified prospects into customers and build long–term relationships with clients
"This is the best book I have seen about Marketing––making your mark in a way that hits the mark. You will be provoked, persuaded, and pleased by this guidebook for painless marketing mastery." ––Chip R. Bell Author, Service Wisdom "Simply put, this is the most useful book on marketing for service firms I know of. It is also the best written. Read it." ––Clay Carr Author, Front–Line Customer Service "An excellent guide to the marketing maze for any small business that wants to get a firm handle on just what service they provide, and learn how to enjoy making money doing it." ––Martin T. Cannon Director, Paper Product Development The Procter & Gamble Company

From the Inside Flap
If you make the marketing decisions for a small– to medium–sized company … if you’re looking to generate business more reliably and with less effort … if you recognize that, for all your professional expertise, you’re somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of marketing and you wish you had a better handle on what marketing is really about—then this book is for you. That’s because Marketing Your Services is much more than a book about marketing. By stripping away the mystery of marketing, it shows you step–by–step how to think and act like an expert marketer. In just a short time, you will learn how to define the best markets for your specific services, and then how to zero in on them. You’ll learn:
  • How to stand out from the crowd by differentiating your business from other similar businesses
  • How to price and package your services
  • How to turn qualified prospects into customers and build long–term relationships with clients
  • How to get your word out by networking, seminars, and other low–cost tactics
  • How to "stay alive"—what to do when you need business now!
Whatever kind of professional service you provide, Marketing Your Services will help you realize that marketing your service doesn’t have to be an elusive or painful task, but something systematically and entirely doable—it can even be fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book for people who need to market but hate huckstering., 30 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is the ideal book for professionals who know they need clients but have always thought of marketing as trickery and manipulation. Putman begins with a different way of thinking about marketing: It's honestly presenting what you have to offer, as a professional, in a way that someone can decide whether they want it. He then goes on to show how to do that. At each phase there is a discussion of the important points, and a practical, step-by-step, how-to list. The writing is down to earth and absolutely clear. After reading this book, you know what to do and how to do it at each point. And, you know that doing it is simply part of being a professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without this book, if you're a consultant!, 1 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book is a classic for us consultants...probably also for others, but it's consultants I worry about. We have a hard time with finding the line between "selling" and "building relationships". Tony Putman has the help we need...P.S. I feel very proud when I learn that I am "Marion" in this book...imagine that!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book does for marketing what a LASER does for light!, 26 Jul 1997
By A Customer
Putman has crystallized the essence of what it really takes to build a business successfully. There's no academic hype or muddle, just delightfully practical insights you can transfer easily from where you're learning to where you're earning ­­ with his guidance. His coaching style combines with a caring, supportive attitude, tons of practical ideas and a 'do-able' process to make you truly effective at marketing what you're selling. Good show, Anthony, GOOD SHOW!
