Business to Business Marketing is one of the first books of its kind that shows the B to B manager how to put expert theory into practice in an easy-to-read volume and offers solutions to the challenges marketing practitioners face virtually every day.

Success for the B to B marketer is determined by careful management and attention to detail. Business to Business Marketing guides to marketer through all aspects of this unique marketing and selling process, including how to:

• Design an information system that supports the company's specific needs

• Bring the product to the customer

• Know the competitors' strengths and weaknesses

• Maintain communication and confidence between distribution channels

• Forecast a company's sales

• Ensure balanced coverage in call report procedures

• Plan a company's direction

• Make sales compensation reviews on a continual basis

• Monitor marketing costs

• Review the expense budget

• Review the audit.

Business to Business Marketing is not a book on theory. It is a book that deals with daily challenges and shows the marketer how problems can not only be managed, but perhaps even solved completely.
