That First Client

Excellent book on marketing. Concise and filled with practical information. Worth having as a resource book.

A great marketing book, I was impressed how this didn't feel like a marketing book, like it was trying to sell me something. It felt like talking with your mentor to strategize business success. While it gave the typical suggestions one might expect for marketing, there are more details to help direct the reader to success. It was an easy read, and if I have to nitpick, the testimonials were a bit much, but, I feel good about reading this book and implementing the suggestions. If you are new to marketing and looking for a starting point, this would definitely be a great start.

“That First Client (2nd Edition),” by Jill Celeste may be a small book at 84 pages, but it packs a punch in those few pages.
