By The Book
Marketing maven Harry Beckwith delivers
the goods in his new book
What Clients Love: A Field Guide to Growing
Your Business (Warner Books, 2003). As he
writes in the book’s introduction: “This book
offers a pleasant alternative to learning from
your mistakes: Learn from mine.”
And small-business owners can learn a lot from
Beckwith. From defining your brand to
harnessing customer trust, Beckwith gives
short lessons delivered in easy-to-read
chapters. His examples range from the personal
to the professional. He’s direct. He’s
concise. And the book is inspiring. You’ll
find big chunks of sweet insight and great
loaves of knowledge that will help you design
a better business.
