Product Reviews:
  Very good, and insightfull book - must read ( petrevics )
I need to say that after Lead Generation for the Complex Sale: Boost the Quality and Quantity of Leads to Increase Your ROIManaging Sales Leads: Turning Cold Prospects into Hot Customers - those 2 books I was not expecting anything new, even because this one is older than those 2.
But!
I was wrong. This book offers a lot more another type of information, than mentioned above books does,and for your library you must have all of them.
In this book, you will find:

- Special insights on lead nurturing (author calls them as lead development)
- Special thoughts about B2B customer loyalty issues - till now, no B2B books are covering this important topic;

What is bad, that author concentrates too much on lead classification by NAICS codes - that is what you can not use, if you are not selling in USA,so for me as international sales manager, and outside USA this part of book is not useful.

Good book, you will not be dissapointed
  Excellent book on the subject ( roy_loh )
This is an excellent book on b2b direct marketing. The book strives to give a broad but balanced overview of the subject and also try to convince the reader why direct marketing is the way forward. You will not regret reading it, especially if you are new to the subject or need convincing.

However, if you are already an experienced practitioner looking to fine tune your implmentation, you may find the book lacking some tips on the execution side. The book tends to focus more on general methodology. None the less, it is not an exageration to say it is a must have, on your book shelf if you are involved in B2B marketing at all.
  Very practical book for marketing / sales leaders,  ( madagale_books )
John Coe's New Sales Coverage Model explains a holistic approach to marketing, which aligns marketing and sales together.

If you're like most readers you will be tempted to skip over the fundamentals that John Coe lays out such as database design, planning, and micro-segmentation.

The thing about marketing is that many marketers enjoy the creative process but few have the discipline for execution. Coe's book lays out an effective strategy, which requires teamwork and a shared vision involving all players.

This practical book lays out step-by-step what you need to do to sell more and spend less. Great book!

  It's About Time! ( jillkonrath )
This book is a wake-up call for marketing and sales organizations. The old ways of going-to-market are no longer effective in today's business environment.

John Coe clearly understands the new sales paradigm and what it takes to be successful. He shows readers what it takes to:
- Break through the marketing clutter and get noticed.
- Obtain high quality leads and convert them to sales.
- Create and execute an effective campaign.

From the very first page of this book, I was hooked - and I'm a pretty discriminating reader. As someone who specializes in new product launches, I'm pretty cynical about most books since they just keep regurgitating old, time-worn strategies and tactics.

This book is different. Well worth the investment.
