Case HistoriesThat Teach Really Valuable Lessons.......2007-03-06
Not until I dug into the case histories did I realize how truly valuable this book is. These punchy examples drive home point after point with clarity that makes all other how-to books I've read on this subject pale by comparison. "Put Ruth in Your Booth" could be its subtitle.
Trade Show and Event Marketing. Review by: Adam Platts.......2006-09-28
Ruth Stevens' Trade Show and Event Marketing has proven to be a very useful book with many good ideas. As a Marketing representative who has worked in both the Tech Industry and for Consumer Products companies I have had the opportunity to attend a wide variety of trade shows, ranging from annual Comdex and CES shows in Las Vegas, to ECRM, NACS, and GMDC shows around the country. When you are dealing with such high costs and logistical problems at these shows you can tend to feel overwhelmed. But authors like Ruth Stevens have helped to pave the way, making our paths to trade show success a little more pleasant, by way of communicating a thoughtful approach to difficult problems. Good work!
Review by: Adam Platts, Northridge
Fantastic tool for anyone involved in trade shows/event marketing.......2006-04-26
Completely comprehensive on every aspect of trade shows and event marketing. Whether you are part of show management or an exhibitor this book is a solid reference. Even if you are seasoned at trade show and event marketing - you will learn something from this book.
Justify Your Trade Show Investment.......2006-03-20
Ruth has hit all the right buttons in this book. As a trade show consultant, too many of my clients focus on the display and event on the show floor, neglecting the pre-show and post-show part of the medium. When you take Ruth's well-documented book literally and plan, promote, you will indeed profit. Especially with proper post-show lead development. I am sending copies of this one to my best clients and prospects.
Specific Trade Show Strategies.......2005-11-16
If you are in marketing and you exhibit at trade shows, this book may change your behavior forever. Not only does it provide in-depth information about what trade shows can do and how they operate, but it also explains the financial structure you should put in place to determine whether participating in a trade show is worth your while financially. That may be bad news for corporate marketers who prefer to unpack their booth, buy the coffee and flowers, and hand out literature.
But if you want to turn a trade show appearance into a truly special corporate event, author Ruth Stevens has a game plan for you. Her book includes sample budgets, case studies, expense spread sheets, lead generation forms, checklists, survey ideas and a great appendix listing sources of additional information. It explains everything you need to know about the opportunities that trade shows offer and how you can use them to advance your marketing goals. We highly recommend this book to marketing managers of business-to-business companies who want to start getting solid returns from special events.

How to Jump Start Mr. Kamadia's Courses.......2007-06-15
This book had some nuggets of somewhat useful information for cheap marketing ideas. I especially liked the idea of putting your card in books at the bookstore. Enough to justify the price of this book? No, not in my opinion.
His other tips for new loan Officers are to have a Unique Selling Proposition, to stand out from the crowd; have a business plan. Yeah, no duh Kamadia.
The book is filled with self-promotion, which in my opinion lowers the author's credibility.
When day 30 of his 30 Day Mortgage Career Jump Start Campaign is to take his courses, you know something ain't right.
There is a much better book on starting a mortgage career and marketing yourself, for less money. I give this book a 'C'.
Not worth $1, one star is too much. .......2007-06-12
This without a doubt, the worse book on sales I have ever read. The book in my opinion is a con. The author was deceitful. The name of the book, the title of the chapters, implied he was providing marketing ideas on "how" to build your business. But all he did was state the obvious, without not even one example in the entire book of a letter, marketing piece, conversation with a customer, how he built his business. He tells you several times in the book to develop you own marketing plan, where the title of the book implies he would show you one. Oh yeah, he does he refer you several times to other websites to buy more worthless promises.
THIS REALLY WORKS!.......2007-02-13
THIS BOOK HELPED ME UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS MISSING IN MY BUSINESS. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT BEING SELF EMPLOYED MEANS TO WORK WITH YOURSELF BY BUILDING A BUSINESS PLANS AND FULFILLING GOALS. THE BEST PART OF THIS BOOK IS THE MARKETING TECHNIQUES!
Jump Start Your Mortgage Career.......2006-12-08
As a mortgage banker for over 30 years there have been a number of imformative publications on th market. However, this book offers the reader who wants to get involved to make money while understanding the mortgage business from someone that has climb the rungs of the ladder. This book should be on every ones book to read it and reread it when wanting to earn additional money.

This book does exactly what is says: increases your business and fast.......2007-10-07
There are millions of sales books. Most are a high on strategy and low on practicality. This book is all about doing: complete with forms, checklists, charts, and to-do lists. This book is easy to read, implement, and follow. In-fact, I've never encountered another book with such precise instructions, including a roadmap that branches off into the various kind of activities that can be used to get more business. It not only includes that roadmap but detailed instructions for each specific tactic and activity that can be used to get clients. This book will become one of the few books you use on a consistent and regular basis.
If you use Ms. Hayden's program you will get clients, and fast. Not only that you'll have the increased confidence and satisfaction of doing something that directly impacts your results, not simply waiting until the phone rings or marketing sends you a lead. I loved this book because it has made money for me, increased sales, and made the 'marketing' element of my job fun again. Perhaps just as important you can measure what is working and what isn't, trying different activities and tracking their results. There is no fluff in this book, just a system for driving results and getting business.
Pat Blanchard, The Successful Trainers Resource.......2007-06-11
Great book! I've been professionally designing and conducting sales training for 15 years and have never come across a book like this. It is well designed from a learning perspective and gets right down to the nitty gritty of how to get clients! C.J. Hayden is excellent at taking an overwhelming process and putting it in to a simple structure that works. If you are a new consultant, coach or professional selling services, and are tired of hearing the what and the why and need the how to this book is for you.
Action Oriented Marketing.......2007-05-27
This is a "must have" book if you are seeking to build your business and gain more clients. C.J. makes it so easy by giving a recipe of actionable items that move you towards your business goals.
New businesses are often swarmed with advertising and promotion opportunities and don't know how to decide what to market with. C.J. reminds and brings you along through the marketing process which includes: product, price, place and promotion. She identifies the marketing strategies and a daily action plan ensures that you are working on the marketing strategy success ingredients that will get you profitable results!
This is such a great book to work on alone or with a group. The foundational "how to" in developing your marketing plan.
Review of Get ClientsNow! ----------- by C.J. Hayden.......2007-05-13
This book applies mostly to people in sales. I found it too basic and market specific to be very helpful.
Get Clients Now! A 28 day marketing Program for Professionals.......2007-05-12
Very useful product, with many templates ot use. Information is broad and general enough to allow to use in many different professions; from real estate, to therapists to coaching and consulting. Yet information is presented in a way that allows for it to easily lend itself to any of the above professions.

Now let's do something!.......2007-07-29
I read this book between showers on a UK beach holiday.
I found it easy to read, lots of information in an easy to understand lay out. Rather than just telling me how to do things there are many exhibits which show you how and provide lots of ideas to relate to your own business.
It has certainly given me food for thought and hopefully this will encourage me to start my own business sooner rather than later.
Just For Beginners.......2007-05-09
If you are into marketing at all - especially online marketing - you know about Dan Kennedy. And you either love him or hate him. I actually love his approach and strategies because at the end of the day - they work. So when I read this book I was wondering how informative it would be. I probably should have read this book when I was starting my business because while it is pretty comprehensive etc. it is written primarily for the beginning marketer. So if you are starting your business - I recommend that you pick this book up and introduce yourself to Dan's philosophy and proven strategies for marketing your business. It's worth the read.
Ultimate it is not.......2007-04-12
I am in the planning stages of a new business venture. I have never written a marketing plan before and needed some insight and advice as to what tactics work and how to write the plan itself.
This book reads like a list of useful one-liner marketing tips and examples of how the author's friends have used them. It is not a how to book on writing a marketing plan, and it does not go into much depth as far as how you might accomplish the things that he recommends.
The most annoying part of this book is that every other page contains an advertisement for you to join some 12-week commitment mailing list that the author has created. He entices you by saying that you will receive additional tips and information for 12 weeks.
HELLO!!! McFLY!!! Didn't I just buy your book so that I could learn your marketing insights? YES! So then why do you make it seem like I just paid for the teaser information, and that the good stuff is behind the curtain that requires me to become a pawn in your marketing career? My price of admission stops at the price of this book, and it should not seem like I'm only getting half of the story that I paid for!
Get Back to the Basics.......2007-04-05
If you are just starting out or your business is
not where you want it to be. This is a good book
to look at and see where to begin or just where
to start. This is a must have for any startup
small or home business.

Customer Reviews:
WOW. My head hurts after reading a few pages.......2007-10-13
If you do not hold a PHD do NOT buy this book. It is easy enough to read BUT is almost too complete. Well orginized and follows the mantra per chapter of tell em what your gonna tell em, tell em and tell em what you just told em - intro -body- review. I am using it for a reference on an upper level class at local University BUT cannot really use it for practical application @ work (establishing/revising sales compensation for our in house reps). Would love to see a Cliff Notes version or workbook by the same authors - they are very knowledgable and give you great practical case studies per topic just ends up being too much of a good thing :)

Totally Recommend it!!
The best.......2006-03-02
I've spent the last 8 years assisting entrepreneurial start-ups as well as existing entrepreneurial ventures, and this book is easily the best I've found for really focusing those companies and helping them to create a truly successful marketing plan. It's a lot of work, but the work on the front end saves quite a lot of work down the line, and results in a much better return on investment. I can't recommend this book highly enough.
The best hands-on book available.......2005-10-12
I've been using this book since 1995. It's not the type of book you'd read cover to cover, but it's an invaluable planning resource for any marketing manager. The authors leave no stoned unturned. If you are writing a plan or launching a business, this is the best practical book out there. Other marketing books get bogged down in theoretical case studies that offer no hands-on tools. This book is a great tool.
Marketing for the Masochist.......2003-08-01
I guess I'm really going against the masses with my 2-star review of this book since the authors claim that it was so successful it warranted a third edition, but I was sorely disappointed with my purchase and plan on returning it. The book opens up with a thorough and dry introduction about why *disciplined* marketing planning is so important. I can't say I was really sold on their main argument--which was basically that marketing can only be done well when it's totally comprehensive and systematic. Those are definitely good traits to adopt in any undertaking, but I just feel that this book is overkill.
The book touts its main benefit as reducing the complexity of coming up with a marketing plan to "just" a 10-step process. It then takes two chapters and about 75 pages just to outline only the first step of this process, called the business review, and describes in painstaking detail everything that the marketer or marketing consultant should do in order to get as thorough an understanding of the business as possible.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about doing my due diligence and developing a thorough understanding of the company I'm doing a marketing plan for, but creating a marketing plan in the manner that these authors describe would easily take over 300 hours of time.
What's more, I don't get the sense from this book that there is an overarching guiding theory into which all elements of the book can be placed in context. Rather, it seems the approach of the authors is to take every known idea from the canon of marketing and incorporate each idea into some step of the lengthy 10-step process.
In the end, I just feel like this book goes overboard with the requirements it demands of the "disciplined" and "comprehensive" marketer. I can see why they use the word disciplined to describe their approach since in my view it would be truly painful to endure it.
I was very interested to read the reviews of others on this book, and I was disappointed to find that I had the opportunity to be the first reviewer. I'll keep looking around for my dream "how to prepare a marketing plan" book, but in the meantime I've realized that the "disciplined and comprehensive approach" is not for me.
