5.0 out of 5 stars This Levinson Formula Works, February 15, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Rialto, Southern California) - See all my reviews

I've read several of the Guerrilla series... then stopped for a while becuase I felt like I was being victimized by a marketing machine. Some of the books repeat things I've known for years... but just one idea (each book has several) makes it worthwhile. This one's about the best yet. I felt like I got to know the authors, they appear to be in control of their image and feel confident the ideas here will work. As long as they keep on cranking out this quality, I'll keep buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for novices, refreshing reminder for veterans., April 20, 2001

By	Dr. Diane M. Hoffmann "Publisher" (Campbell River, BC Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sluggish writing but good content. An excellent work for novices to the business world and a refreshing reminder for veterans. I went through great efforts to obtain a copy of this book because I wanted some new substance about marketing myself. ... I was surprised how simplistic the information presented in this book was. There was really nothing new to learn, except for some extended ideas within the self-marketing common sense tools & techniques. It's really all about good-old-fashioned deeds and character development. The book is a good reminder of what does count in our dealing with people. It is also a confirmation that by holding on to these qualities one is still keeping on the right track -- in this world of chaotic decline, at times, one wonders if one is becoming an oddball just being polite, for example. The idea of finding your own "position" is critically valuable and the encouragement to stick to this positioning statement until you achieve what it is that you want and feel you deserve is most heartening. I found the section on how to use the tools and follow the rules one of the most useful. But the most rewarding part is found at the end when it wraps it all up in a system or plan "not for the faint of heart" that is truly a daring challenge to the serious reader, followed by a summary of the 50 most important concepts for the success of the plan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clarify your marketing position and communicate it, April 27, 2000

By	"lernerconsult" (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Get What You Deserve H T (Paperback)

Gives excellent examples of the powerful results from stating clearly and succinctly what your marketing position is. Learn to control the messages you send and your life will be better for it. If you don't do this, they claim, you get whatever pigeon-hole people place you in. You can't be everything to everyone. Then walks you through how to develop and communicate your own marketing position, which makes "the difference between a general, hit-and-miss marketing campaign and the focused, comprehensive road to success".
