But with more global competition and new ways of doing business, B2B companies now have the opportunity - and the necessity - to get smart about marketing. They have the opportunity to capitalize on marketing to enhance awareness of their products and services, gain new customers and increase their profits. This book is a practical, one-stop resource for achieving B2B marketing success. It is heavy on pragmatism and light on theory.
