About this audiobook
Attract interest, then nail the sale.
With attention spans mercilessly short, you can't afford to approach customers with anything but the very strongest, most on-target pitch. Learn how to capture the interest of perfect prospects for your product, service or cause, then convince them to complete an order.
This pithy, provocative book from a master of creative marketing offers both timeless principles of persuasion and insights from recent research and marketing trends. Real-life examples illustrate Marcia Yudkin's advice on strategies that work and those that may backfire.
Marcia Yudkin is the author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity, now in its third edition, and 14 other books.
