Postioning. The Battle for
Your Mind
'One of the most important
communication books I've ever read. I highly recommend it!'
Spencer Johnson, author of Who
Moved My Cheese? and co-author of The One Minute Manager
The first book to deal with
the problems of communicating to a skeptical, media-blitzed public, Positioning
describes a revolutionary approach to creating a "position" in a prospective
customer's mind.
THIS IS THE BOOK THAT SHOWS
YOU HOW TO:
- Use Madison Avenue

your competition's weaknesses,
- Use your present position
to its best advantage,
- Choose the best name for
your product,
- Determine when-and why-less

affect your positioning,
- And more!
Positioning is
