Revamping an older, well regarded
book (originally published in 1992) for a
new market and a new decade is a challenge, because earlier baggage can burden the new book. That may explain why author Patrick Forsyth is so generous with the space he devotes to elementary
marketing tactics presented in exacting detail, ranging from how the publishing process works, to how to
address a letter and what the switchboard operator does as a point of initial contact. This primer takes up about the first half of his book without delving into the title objective of
selling professional services. Eventually there is some light. The next few chapters address professional practices in selling intangible services. Forsyth offers abundant, almost dizzying detail. The checklists and flow charts that illustrate some of his basic ideas are helpful and he reiterates key points as needed.
