Why This Book?

If business seems ever harder and more competitive, that's because it is. For a small business, it's no longer possible to assume a home turf advantage when a global economy means the number of businesses competing for the same customers, even in a local market, has grown proportionately.

You can now work with a travel agent, a graphic designer, or an insurance broker across the country as easily as with someone across town. You can find the same products on the Internet and the corner store, and often it's more convenient to make your purchase from your desk and take delivery on your porch tomorrow.

Against this backdrop of increased competition, every business must fight to avoid blending into a sea of look-alikes.

If you're in business and looking for more customers or clients, you need to ask yourself these questions:

  • Do the right people fully understand what I do?
  • Have I targeted my most likely customers and delivered a message that speaks to their unique needs?
  • Do I struggle to differentiate myself from competitors?
  • When a local paper or trade journal does a story on my area of expertise, do they call me?

If you can't answer these questions with an unequivocal "yes," Get Slightly Famous will boost your marketing into a new realm of effectiveness. It is based on proven strategies that can help you get more business with less effort. Even if you're already practicing these general principles, you will find lots of specific techniques that you can add to your ongoing efforts.

This book provides a roadmap to help any small business break out of the anonymity trap and effectively attract clients and customers. It's filled with practical tips and techniques, advice from leading marketing experts and dozens of real-world success stories from slightly famous entrepreneurs.
