No B.S. Guide to Brand-Building by Direct Response

The Ultimate No Holds Barred Plan to Creating and Profiting from a Powerful Brand Without Buying It

By: Dan S. Kennedy, Forrest Walden, Jim Cavale

Narrated by: Stephen R. Thorne

Entrepreneurs and small business owners are urged to avoid the two biggest branding mistakes they can make - first, investing in building their brand in ways that copycat big-name companies, and second, struggling to build a brand sensitive to everyone and anyone, rather than focusing on those who are spending with them.

Led by Dan S. Kennedy, with the support of Forrest Walden and Jim Cavale, the co-founders of Iron Tribe Fitness, and other marketing/branding vets including Bill Gough, the number-one marketing adviser to Allstate agents; Steve Adams, CEO of a chain of 21 retail stores and an e-commerce business, and Nick Nanton, of the Dicks-Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency, entrepreneurs learn how to develop and gain profit from their personal or business brand-without corporate-sized investment. Mastering Kennedy's branding truths and utilizing proven direct-response advertising and marketing methods, entrepreneurs create their own brand tribe - customers who believe in, buy, and promote their brand.

Truths and tactics are illustrated with case studies, examples and insights from other well-known brands.

Book was easy to listen to

Being a sales guy and listening to this book peeled a few layers of the "MARKETING ONION" back for me.

Priceless

Honestly, had to write this review and give it five stars just because it’s worth 10 stars. can I see people who are two unintelligent to understand the basics of what he saying to implement giving these books one stars. just from Dan Kennedy I was able to pull millions of dollars from the Internet by keeping things simple and direct

Racist & Sexist

The information in this book isn't just outdated and irrelevant. Its outright offensive, racist and sexist. Written in a way that only someone from the 1950s would think appropriate. According to Dan Kennedy, it is the white man who faces the most difficult challenges in the business industry and everyone else gets an easy ride.... And that's really just the tip of the iceberg of the problematic things written in this book. It's so cringy. Especially the part where the author advises lying to get sales and admits that that's how he achieved his own "success". This book represents the essence of what unethical bad business is.
