"I think every marketing and PR person, every customer service rep, and every exec should have to read this. Ok, honestly, I thought most of it was pretty obvious, but apparently others don't because NO ONE does it (well, lots do, but not enough). I've been saying for a long time that if one big company decided to have good customer service/support, they'd be a rock star company and I can't figure out why they just don't get it! That said, even if you recognize the concepts as obvious, it's still a good read. It has great examples that you've never thought of and it's inspiring to think outside the box and do an awesome job at word of mouth marketing."

    " Very well written and easy to read. The only thing missing is actually a list of ressources which is much better covered in other books of the same nature (like the Referral Engine) "

    " GREAT book for anyone who has a product or service to market, including non-profit organizations. While the book is geared towards businesses, I found myself thinking of ways to use the principles to promote the local PTA and other non-profit organizations I volunteer with. This was one I would love to have every person on my board read. "

    " Similar in style and tone to Seth Godin (who provided the preface), the author shares key information in an easy-to-retain delivery. While some points seem perhaps obvious at first, this is the first book I've come across where all these idea "lines" are pulled together; you could certainly benefit from using this approach to bolster your business. Best of all, there are approaches detailed here that can be immediately applied and aren't restricted by budget or size. "
