This is a marketer secret weapon. You must hide this book and memorise its position and how to execute it with precision. Never ever let your enemy see this. Now that I had revealed my weapon, take this and use it to your advantage. All the best.

It's a good book for B2C or C2C, with a focus on product. If you are looking for a b2b services perspective, not sure it will work for you
