4.0 out of 5 stars A definitive and insightful guide to content marketing for large-company B2B marketers, November 3, 2009
This review is from: eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale (Hardcover)
Unlike many of the "new marketing paradigm" books, Albee doesn't repeat the viewpoint of "be everywhere, all the time blogging, twittering, [insert latest social media craze here]." Instead, she advocates a more thoughtful approach to content marketing, one that is better suited to the deliberate and complex marketing activity of large B2B companies.

The planning guidelines are very helpful for making manageable a large corporate content effort and measuring the impact of your new marketing efforts. If you want to give your executives a book to help them understand why you are taking your marketing activities in new directions, this is the one.

The book also presents many guidelines for copywriters on new marketing styles, storytelling techniques, and understanding reader's needs for and perceptions of content.

The book has one significant shortcoming, which caused me to rate it as 4-star instead of 5-star: The book presents only a few real-world examples. More examples would help to validate the author's points and add interest to what is sometimes a dry writing style.

Overall, this is a book that you'll want to give a thorough read, mark-up, share with your team, and reference again.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you sell products or services you must buy this book to grwo your business, August 12, 2010
This review is from: eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale (Hardcover)
At last, a thoughtful effective marketing book written on how to accelerate sales! I have waited so many years for a book such as this. ( Recently I was getting resigned to having to write it myself!) I am adding this book to the must read list for sales people new and old. She thinks, talks and writes about things from the buyers perspective. I took forever to read this book, each section was chock full of terrific content and strategies causing me to take copious notes. It just makes so much sense to what we see every day in our practise. So it you take this book , with Jill Konrath's new one and Sharon Drew Morgen's work you will have the trifecta of today's real world sales approaches. Albee also references Brian Carroll's grat work on lead generation. Albee's blogs and sites (more than one) are highly referenced in marketing today. Anyone who has to sell products and services today must buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very practical and easy to read book, December 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: eMarketing Strategies for the Complex Sale (Hardcover)
The book is very useful with a lot of good examples of hints. It explains what is important, what you need to consider when using eMarketing when selling products or services that are new or complicated. I found the ideas on how to establish a position in the market by making the company a source of knowledge in the specific topic quite important, as it prevents the company in ending up in a fierce competition, by being just like all the others. A must ready for anyone involved or who likes to stay informed on this important topic.
