Crisp and Effective

There are piles of books available that provide "how to" guidelines for new and seasoned product and marketing managers. This one is different: it focuses on a few of the most important aspects that can make a product a raging success or a stunning failure. Product roadmaps are crucial to success. They provide the timeline and template for development, marketing and sales to work from. Establishing, communicating, and executing a product's vision from inception through releases 5 years after launch is one of marketing's toughest challenges - Brian's book provide a pathway for achieving this. Similarly, product launches often suffer from a range of ills: - The product is months (or years) late - and lacks key capabilities. - Marketing launch materials are feature and technology focused, rather then oriented towards customer business challenges. - Beta experiences are ignored or insufficiently leveraged. - The sales force is uninspired and prefers to sell what they've been selling previously, since they know how to sell the older product(s). This book delivers succint, effective processes, approaches and specific actions that will improve the success rates with product launches and early-market entry. A fast and thoroughly worthwhile read on your next flight to your users' group meeting or customer visit...!
