About this title

Synopsis

The essential guide to marketing services, that has become a business classic.Many companies who claim to be selling products are really selling services. What used to be a product-driven economy is now replete with services. But unlike products, you can t touch services, hear or see them. Services are mainly just promises that somebody will do something. They are invisible. So how do you sell, develop and make them grow? This international bestseller, now in paperback, answers that question with insights on how the markets for services work and how customers think and behave towards your offering. When it comes to marketing and selling, the difference between products and services can be enormous. A treasury of bite-sized, practical and intelligent strategies, based upon the author s extensive experience, Selling the Invisible will open your eyes to new ideas that will enhance the value and profitability of any company in today s service market.The book begins with the core problem of services marketing: service quality. It then suggests how to learn what you must improve, with examples of what works. It then moves on to services marketing fundamentals: defining what business you really are in and what people really are buying; positioning your service; understanding customers and buying behaviour; and communicating your service.
