Why you should read Marketing the Professional Services Firm

As professional services firms become more prevalent, their industry is also becoming more competitive. Professional services firms must understand how to tell the marketplace about their special qualifications and accomplishments. Author Laurie Young’s textbook includes the information marketers need to do this, but because it is, in fact, a textbook, readers will have to sift through both theory and details to find practical suggestions. Young backs up his sound conceptual ideas with numerous case studies of major companies. getAbstract recommends this book to students and to practitioners looking for a comprehensive understanding of marketing practices in the evolving professional services industry.
