About this title

From the Author:

Are You Tired of the "New Bag Of Tricks" Treadmill Yet?
 
Forbes Magazine said "96% Of What You Do Is A Waste" in Eric Wagner's review of this book. It's true. If you've been marketing online for any length of time, you've gotten daily pitches about all the ways to get web traffic....

Search Engine Optimization, 999 variations on Social Media; Building Co-Registration Email Lists, Banner Ads, Inbound Links, Pay Per Click, Popups... Some Crazy Viral Marketing Scheme That You Hope Will Work...

How many of those things do you think you can master? Is your head hurting yet? Mine is.

You can buy at least a dozen books that promise you to teach you some technique that is going to make you rich.

Well, my friend, I got tired of the Technique-Of-The-Month club a LONG time ago. I'm not on that bandwagon anymore.

The 80/20 Principle is THE most powerful lever in business. It is the ultimate simplifier because 95% of this stuff is a waste of time. It's literally the first thing any sales or marketing professional should master. It's not merely a rule of thumb, it's a law of nature. Most people have no idea how many layers of selling power it contains. That's why I wrote 8020 Sales and Marketing.
 I thought I understood the 80/20 Principle - then I experienced an epiphany, something I'd never seen anywhere else. It led to a formula that I began applying in my business and clients' businesses, producing explosive growth. It was crucial to cracking the code on Google AdWords and led me to become the best selling author on the subject of Google advertising. Soon I began developing tools that reveal deep insights from seemingly trivial bits of data.  If you're a "numbers person" and you're just starting out in sales or marketing, this book will become the master framework for everything you do and everything you learn going forward. If you're an experienced sales or marketing pro, this book will redefine your very profession.

From the Inside Flap:

With exclusive online tools, the 80/20 Power Curve and Marketing DNA Test, you possess the power to identify untapped markets, slash waste, and target high-profit opportunities, gaining you time and exponentially greater profits.

You’re in for one of those explosive moments when an interesting notion becomes a momentous epiphany because Perry Marshall is about to blow your mind! Read slowly. Put down often. Do what Perry says. Then we can all go out to lunch and celebrate!

Michael E. Gerber, Author, The E-Myth

I've read well over 1,000 business books and 80/20 Sales and Marketing is among the top 10 for actionable strategies to fast impact your bottom line. Every business person should own a copy - highlighted, dog-eared and underlined. ??

Bill Harrison, CEO, Bradley Communications Corp.

Best business book I’ve read this year. Focusing only on the 20% of the 20% that really matters using the power curve and reverse thinking has made my business extremely profitable. Once you understand how to disqualify, work less and make more, life flows naturally. Powerful, little-known concepts are clearly articulated with terrific real world examples and concise summaries.

James Schramko, Founder, SuperFast Business

If you don’t know who Perry Marshall is unforgivable.
