As you can imagine, with that many titles under my belt, so to speak, the range of authors and quality of titles is considerable. Louis Gudema's original Bullseye Marketing is one of my favorites. This new edition is even better."At the strategic level, readers of Bullseye Marketing will learn the three-phase Bullseye Marketing Framework that prioritizes the fastest, most cost-effective ways for B2B companies to grow faster. Louis then goes into detail on what it takes to successfully implement close to two dozen marketing tactics, providing hundreds of tips, best practices, and examples for successfully executing B2B marketing campaigns.

He also provides evidence on the importance of creativity in building mental availability, and many examples of creative B2B marketing that go beyond the more typical product-centric marketing seen from many companies.The book also includes interviews with nationally-known marketing and sales leaders Ann Handley, Scott Brinker, Evan Kirstel, Gini Dietrich, Jeanne Hopkins, Jim Ewel, James Carbary, and Zorian Rotenberg, and new case studies."For years small- and mid-sized businesses have been the jobs-growth engine of the U.S. economy.
