This book is an indispensable guide for standing out right now in a crowded B2B world. Cash shines the light on the inconvenient truth, that in our quest for short term gains, we’ve lost sight of how to create brands that capture hearts and minds over the long haul. A must read.

I really like how this book looks at the topic from different angles, including ‘chemistry’, literally! Plenty of real-life stories and meaningful advice. Clear messages to marketing: remember, the customer is a person like you, not a lead, a contact or a persona. And to the CEO/CFO: Being human is profitable.
