"In my Chatter that Matters radio show and podcast I have interviewed
dozens of small business owners. I couldn't agree more with what Alan C.
Middleton covers in his exceptional book. Attention is the oxygen of any
business, and in this age of noise many are starving for attention. Small and
Medium Size businesses need a marketing strategy that differentiates, is fluid,
and one you are willing to act upon."
- Tony Chapman, Host of CHATTER THAT MATTERS

"At the bank, we work with thousands of small and medium businesses,
helping the owners finance their vision and turn it into reality. Their business
plan is strengthened when you see a well thought out marketing strategy
that helps bring the vision to life. The tools and examples that Alan covers in
this book are useful resources for entrepreneurial business owners that help
drive growth across the country."
