So far, The Ultimate Sales Letter by Dan Kennedy is one of the best marketing books I have read. In fact, it’s so helpful, I’ve read it twice from cover to cover, and I also still dip into it from time to time. Nowadays, we have a very limited window to get our message across in a way that will influence our customers to take action and do business with us. The Ultimate Sales Letter teaches you exactly what to say and how to say it in order to build trust and get your customers to buy from you. One of the things I like most about The Ultimate Sales letter is that the techniques are transferrable. It’s not just about writing sales copy. You can also use the same techniques in video, audio, social media posts, and PPC ads. It’s a must-read for any serious marketer.

I highly recommend this book for business owners that want a guide on moving their company forward in this age of AI and mobile phones. It provides a wealth of insight on how to effectively grow a business at different stages. Crossing the Chasm has personally taught me to acknowledge that rapid mainstream market growth does not always flow seamlessly from early market success. To grow big and be profitable long-term, It’s necessary to cross the chasm; evolve from serving one type of customer base to multiple ones.
