In the old days, professional services firms could survive without much marketing effort. Put together a team of good people, deliver strong service to clients, and you might get by just fine on repeat business and client referrals. Well, those days are gone. While repeat business and referrals are still necessary, today you also need smart, effective marketing and a culture of business development success to attract a steady stream of clients and grow your business in an increasingly competitive world.

Now in its second edition, Professional Services Marketing gives you the field-tested, research-based marketing and sales approach your organization needs to succeed. Updated with new chapters on social media and online marketing, this book helps you select the marketing strategies and tactics used by thriving, high-growth firms.

The book covers 5 key areas your firm can't grow without:
