Why you should read Rain Making
|
| Professionals are highly educated individuals who deal with consequential matters: Attorneys present life-and-death cases in court. Architects design graceful buildings. Engineers turn designs into stone and steel realities. Accountants decipher complex tax rules. But while these and other professionals are often remarkably able in their fields, many have no idea how to market themselves or their services. This manual by professional-services marketing expert Ford Harding covers all the marketing techniques you will ever need to know. The sales tactics section alone is worth the purchase price. getAbstract considers Harding’s comprehensive book a refresher for salespeople and required reading for professionals who think sales was someone else’s job. |
