This is the most practical marketing book you will ever read. It outlines a six-step process that will bring clarity to marketing like you’ve never experienced before. It’s literally a step-by-step guide to more leads, higher sales and a stronger brand. The first step is simply being a competent marketer. As the CEO of your organization, this should worry you: Your marketing team knows a lot less about marketing than they let on. And you can prove it in an instant. Ask them to explain the difference between the marketing mix and the promotional mix. It’s a basic question but surprisingly most marketers don’t know the answer. Imagine asking your accounting staff the difference between a balance sheet and an income statement and finding out you stumped them. Now consider this: You can maybe ring another 20% in sales out of your current customers, but that’s offset by the hole in your customer bucket. Real growth comes from new business development and you’ve entrusted a good share of that to a marketing team that can't define a basic marketing term. Not good. I suggest you buy a copy of this book for yourself first. I’ll show you the six steps of Strategically Aimed Marketing or the SAM 6® process for short. It will get you up to speed quickly. Then buy copies for your staff and have them integrate the process into your organization. If you are a marketing manager, writer, graphic designer or anyone else who has a hand in marketing, you should buy this book and beat your CEO to the punch. I’m not kidding when I say The CEO’s Guide to Marketing will make you the smartest marketer in the room. You are going to wish you had this book years ago. Lonny Kocina
