    Mind expansion is in full force
    Dan Kennedy’s style and wisdom is in full display here. Incredibly useful tips and best practices on almost every page. All it really takes is a few ideas to really propel your results and the book’s ideas are plentiful. I’d highly recommend this book to anyone wanting, no needing, to grow.

    He’s The King Of Direct Selling For A Reason!
    Dan Kennedy is the man…The “No BS Man” at that! The book gives you practical and tested advice on how to turn your business, no matter what it is, into a marketing business. In his own words, “There ain’t no business if there ain’t no customers!”. I agreed with that 100%.Throughout the book, Dan refers to his reliable stable of case studies that you probably have heard of in the past, but who cares…THEY WORKED! These are the same tactics and strategies I used in my real estate business to get 12 houses and $110,000 in the first 5 months of doing business! Yes! The book lists the “secret weapons” and “ultimate sins” when it comes to marketing. This is a great book with shining examples of how to do marketing right. Dan uses real world examples of entrepreneurs that have made it. Some of the stuff, I never (ever) thought would work in some of the businesses he mentions, but this book let me know that it was out there.Thank you, Dan for this book.

    Very good stuff, even if not a full, ultimate plan
    I have read several of Dan Kennedy’s books: I like his experienced, “from the street” – what he calls his “no B.S.” – expertise. I was about to launch a new product and thought I’d catch up on Kennedy’s writing, with this book on an “ultimate marketing plan.”First of all, I acknowledge that Kennedy is somewhat of an odd bird. If you haven’t heard, he is probably the only marketing expert in the world (I can’t imagine another) who doesn’t like – or use -the internet. You read that right. He “detests” the internet (his words). He has a computer, but it’s offline. You can’t email him. He asks that you write him a note and fax it (remember fax machines?). At first, you might think this would disqualify someone from being a marketing expert in the 21st Century, and you could make a reasonable argument, but there is something to be said for Kennedy’s old school, contrarian perspective. Marketing is marketing after all; and whether you mail a sales letter the old fashioned way, email it, or turn it into a squeeze page, the fundamentals still apply. In fact, I’m somewhat tired of listening to experts who talk like nothing existed before the internet.The first chapter is the perfect example of learning the fundamentals. Kennedy reminds you to write your USP – your Unique Selling Proposition. Frankly, I found this to be the most important part of the book. The USP is to answer the question, “Why should someone buy from you.” Domino’s Pizza had a famous USP: “Fresh hot pizza delivered within 30 minutes or less, guaranteed.” When you think about it, it’s amazing that many – most – companies have no good, clear USP. As an exercise, I researched the USP’s of the four competitors for my product. NONE had USPs – they gave potential customers no written, straightforward sentence on why people should even do business with them. Well, two of them did mention one benefit – that they had the “lowest price.” If you have read Kennedy’s books, you already know that the “lowest price” routine is worse than no USP.Kennedy’s book is not so much a full plan (which is why I dinged it a star) as it is chapters of reminders on things you need to do, as you market your product – targeting the right market, using testimonals (with photos), using buzz, having a call to action, and – something many forget about – keeping the customers you already have. There is the obligatory chapter on the internet, with the reminders to pay attention to the basics. (Sidenote here: Kennedy lists Frank Kern as a resource, who many consider a shady character, who has had his run-ins with the FTC.)To summarize, not an ultimate – or even complete – plan, but I’m not complaining. Kennedy always has valuable things to say, much of which you will not hear anywhere else.

    No better marketing advice in any single place
    I’m a big Kennedy fan…and even owned this book…but didn’t have it with mewhen I was working on an outside project…so went ahead and ordered it.Kennedy is a results oriented advertising guy…and shares the direct marketing/direct mailbackground I do…not fluff & stuff…not “isn’t it pretty”…but give me sales…now!If you are in business and struggling to find customers…buy this book…go to his site.You’ll either hate it…disagree with it…and keep struggling to you go out of business.Or you’ll say…”Why didn’t I know about this stuff sooner!

    Dan Kennedy is a godfather of direct-response marketing. His books are always good. I had to buy the kindle version just so it was on my devices. The paper copy is dog-eared, highlighted, with notes. It’s an essential guide for small business marketing.

    Its really helpful if you are reading it to make your assignment or educational document. It is a book that shares experience from practical field but everything is hidden behind words. I wanted to know how to develop a strategy but book keeps telling me ying and yang

    Uno dei migliori libri di marketing che abbia mai letto. Il libro più famoso di Dan Kennedy (The Ultimate Sales Letter) l’avevo trovato un po’ datato; cosa che non è successa con questo.In una decina di capitoli Dan Kennedy dispensa decine e decine di preziosissimi consigli per migliorare il proprio piano di marketing, aumentare le vendite, il numero di clienti e i loro acquisti. Il tutto con un vocabolario molto semplice e comprensibile (ovviamente in inglese).Con poco meno di 10 euro hai in mano un vero e proprio manuale d’azione, indispensabile per chiunque abbia un’azienda. Consigliatissimo.
