For both long-standing and newly-minted entrepreneurs, there is no greater defeat than having a customer go elsewhere because they didn't understand your value. Breakthrough Branding clearly and skillfully leads its readers through the need and the creative process of branding a 'position' in the marketplace. By first creating a 'clear benefit or promise of worth' which is different from that of competitors, and then by allowing social media to be a 'big microphone,' each entrepreneur can learn to reinvent and redistribute their personal and business branding. I highly recommend this book as a must-have marketing tool in today's highly-competitive, global marketplace. Patricia Sigmon, President, David Advisory Group, and Author, Six Steps to Creating Profit
