B2B Marketing Books Conclusion

These high-profile speakers and authors are at the forefront of B2B marketing. They live and breathe B2B business strategy every working day. (Note: For many of them, this means everyday!)

Unlike many business authors, these speakers aren’t focused on strategies taught in universities and business schools.

But rather, they work in the marketing and sales trenches to drive measurable business results.

Don’t just read (or listen) to their books.

Use their recommendations in your B2B marketing plans and strategies.

These B2B marketing books are the user manuals that didn’t come with your marketing job.

Spend the time and read them.

Happy Marketing,
Heidi Cohen
