Book Description

March 2005
Marketing Playbook:TM The Manual for Growing Organizations--102 of the Best Marketing Plays to Get Your Sales Team Across the Goal Line

The Marketing Playbook is filled with 102 Marketing "Plays" covering a wide range of topics such as Google Adwords to breaking through voicemail-jail to P.R. Every Play includes vendor costs, many of which are industry secrets (until now). The Marketing Playbook goes beyond the usual arm waving and gives you the detail and the explanation so you can try them out yourself.

Not just an idea book--It's a How-to and What-for Manual for growing organizations. The power of Marketing Playbook comes through its deep insight into how marketing projects get done and the resources you'll need to successfully execute each Play. It identifies the steps and provides visual samples, benchmark costs and coaching points for each of its 102 marketing Plays. The book even provides a complete bibliographic index of other marketing experts and proven marketing vendors. Just knowing who to call is invaluable on its own.

Plays cover both strategy and tactics and are organized by the Sales Stage where plays will most effectively help the Sales team move the ball forward.

More About the Author

All you need to know about me is that I get stuff started. Important, profitable, new direction initiatives that drive top-line revenue and can't be solved by anyone on your current team. I iterate quickly. I get things off the launchpad.

I'm always looking for opportunities to make profitable connections between people, products and ideas that create new markets, mashups and business opportunities.

I'm a hands-on sales & marketing practitioner. I've actually carried a bag, lived out of a suitcase, made quota and successfully sold new technologies for companies no one's ever heard of. Run marketing. Always created value for my sales teams.

I wrote The Marketing-Playbook--The Definitive Guide to B2B Marketing. Endorsed by Seth Godin, Guy Kawasaki, Al Ries, Rieva Lesonsky and Doug Hall, the Playbook provides detailed instructions for implementing more than 100 sales-driven marketing strategies for small businesses. Think of it as a marketing director's cookbook for serving everything from appetizers to the main course to dessert. (See: http://www.marketing-playbook.com/buzz.)

In early 2011, I wrote my second book: 99 Questions to Jump Start Your Partner Channel Brain (endorsed by Jill Konrath, author of SNAP Selling and Selling to Big Companies). It's a book filled with questions I challenge anyone to answer about their Channel Partners. If the term "Channel Partners" is a new one for you, Channel Partners are anyone selling your products and services who are NOT your employees. Think: resellers, reps, dealers, affiliates, OEMs, distributors, VARs, brokers...the classic middle-men. Since the majority of companies (of any size) go to market through channels today, I thought it was time for a book that stimulated neuron-firing and action.

Most recently, I've been producing a series of Mindmeld microconferences, where I personally recruit 60 of the greatest minds in a particular vertical to record their answer to a hot-topic question. See: http://PPCMindmeld.com

This review is from: Marketing Playbook: The Manual for Growing Organizations--102 of the Best Marketing Plays to Get Your Sales Team Across the Goal Line (Paperback)
As its name suggests, John Fox presents each piece of marketing advice as a play, making it ideal for busy marketers with varying budgets. The book succinctly concentrates on maximizing marketing dollars and efforts with real-world applications. It's a beautiful book that's nicely designed and formatted, and a pleasure to read. You simply won't go wrong with the Marketing Playbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings Sales and Marketing Together, May 5, 2005
This review is from: Marketing Playbook: The Manual for Growing Organizations--102 of the Best Marketing Plays to Get Your Sales Team Across the Goal Line (Paperback)
A common problemhas always been getting Sales and Marketing on the same page. Each side has its own view, agenda and lingo. John Fox recognizes this in his delivery, presenting ideas in a way that both sides can appreciate. We're giving a copy of the book to a select group in the company and asking that each recommend two "first plays."

This review is from: Marketing Playbook: The Manual for Growing Organizations--102 of the Best Marketing Plays to Get Your Sales Team Across the Goal Line (Paperback)
Whether a company needs to know how to get its news in front of people who care through news distribution, or how to present it in a binder, John Fox's Marketing Playbook lays it out ... plus John gives you the names of sources who will help. It's the kind of book anybody in marketing and sales will keep and refer to often.
