Book Description

June 2003
This book is for business owners and marketing directors who want their marketing to stand out, get better results and attract more business. Terri Langhans, the former CEO of a national ad agency and marketing firm, boils 20-plus years of experience on the front lines of marketing down to 7 common mistakes that every business makes when they market their products or services. Plus, of course, she tells you how to fix and prevent them.

The book is filled with entertaining, down-to-earth examples of what to do and not do in the quest to grow your business, along with creative ideas and tangible tools you can use right away to:
-Distinguish your products and services from the competition, even if you're in a category where everyone looks alike.
-Create a competitive edge that no one can copy.
-Get better response from the marketing you do, regardless of how big (or small) your budget is.
-Find out what your customers really want and need.
-Attract and retain more customers.

It's a book you can read in an hour, but your marketing will never be the same again. It will be more effective.

About the Author

Terri Langhans, the former CEO of a national ad agency and marketing firm, boils 20-plus years of experience on the front lines of marketing down to seven common mistakes that every business makes when they market their products or services. Plus she tells you how to fix them, with just the right mix of information, insight and irreverence.

Terri started her agency from scratch, grew it to include 20 employees and an office on both the right and left coasts, and then she sold it to a publicly held company. In addition to growing her own business, she's helped hundreds of clients of all types and sizes launch products, market their services and grow their businesses.

A professional member of the National Speaker's Association, Terri is a popular speaker at conferences and corporate meetings. She also conducts a weekend Maverick Marketing workshop in Southern California for a small group of 10 busineeses and works 1:1 with a limited number of businesses that truly want to stand out from the herd.

Terri warns people not to expect MBA theory and rhetoric from her book. Partly because she doesn't have an MBA and mostly because she's known for her real-world examples and practical tools that can be put to use right away. Terri boasts about being a second-generation Californian and a Minnesotan-by-marriage, which gives her the unique ability to use "so there then, dude" in a sentence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking book... excellent speaker!, August 31, 2006
This review is from: The 7 Marketing Mistakes Every Business Makes (And How to Fix Them) (Paperback)
Great book! And the right length too! Definitely one of those marketing books that you will want to go back to and re-read your highlights to internalize. The concepts Terri conveys on how to break out of the marketing funk we all tend to fall into is a great refresher for seasoned marketing professionals and a great teacher for new marketers.

Not only is this book a must read, but you should try and catch Terri's "Maverick Marketing" presentation, which truly brings her concepts to life. I attended her presentation at this year's Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Annual Conference and would rate it the most entertaining and educational marketing session I attended.

5.0 out of 5 stars No one cares about your boring business & so fix it!, July 29, 2004
This review is from: The 7 Marketing Mistakes Every Business Makes (And How to Fix Them) (Paperback)
The author is right! People don't care about you...they care about themselves, and this author tells it like it is, with real world examples and a down-to-earth voice. I don't know how you can read this book and NOT change about a bazillion things about the way you're doing business and the way you look at marketing. Not to mention the way you market your products or services. I read it in about an hour, and re-read it every other week or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Refreshing!!, March 24, 2004
This review is from: The 7 Marketing Mistakes Every Business Makes (And How to Fix Them) (Paperback)
This is a must read for anyone who's done marketing or received a "you've got to be kidding" look from their marketing person before. The author summarizes these common marketing mistakes with insight and humor, but best of all she says how to overcome them in simple, easy to digest language. It's a great leave-behind if you're in the marketing business. I found it refreshing and insightful. A very good read.
