Compared to other business advice books I've looked at, it's not bad. Fleming highlights the strengths of studying the competition and establishing trust with a consumer before and after their purchase. Stresses the importance of quality customer service and testimonies, something I wished more corporations took to heart. It occasionally includes anecdotes to better illustrate his points about forceful marketing and confirmation bias, which were pretty interesting.
But like most other books of this nature, I think he promotes his own services too much for my liking. I would say about a third to half of his book is self-marketing. You'd read something that might pique your interest, but then he'd casually slide in something like, "If you're curious to know more about such-and-such, give me a call and we can talk." These lines aren't phrased in a condescending or self-congratulatory way, but it happened just enough to make my eyes glaze over them. I know this is me getting jaded with age, but I also rolled my eyes when he shared stories about the luxury places he stayed at for business trips. It carried the not-so-subtle implication of "you'll make the big bucks this way!" to me.
I would say that it's handy for business owners since it does promote a healthy mindset for business etiquette. It doesn't hurt to look into if you're struggling with drawing in or keeping customers; you can think of it as a cheap introduction to business consulting and/or tip book.
