\u201cwhat makes this marketing book different from most of what i have read is that this 90-day, 13-week marketing plan does not even begin to discuss marketing until week number 6. instead, jean leads you on a journey of discovery about your own firm that includes a complete guide and tools to perform client analysis, industry analysis, swot exercises, mission, vision and goal setting. the process is designed to explore what you currently do, what you want to do more of, what you should stop doing and then setting a plan to do just that. this is the rifle shot approach to getting the clients you want\u2026 not just more clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
