I purchased the software, and am working on my marketing plan right now (the software is really great so far!). How can I get my hands on the free book? It looks like it might be helpful to go along with the software. Thanks in advance! Heidi Hi Ivana,

I followed the link, but didn’t see the discount or the offer for the free book. I purchased the software, and am working on my marketing plan right now (the software is really great so far!).

How can I get my hands on the free book? It looks like it might be helpful to go along with the software.

Thanks in advance!

Heidi

You can get the #25.00 off coupon by buying the product from the US store. You will though have to pay shipping and VAT on the product. We need to comply with EU law which means we have to make sure VAT is paid. The only way for us to do that from the US is to require shipping. In the UK the price is different because the exchange rate differs, and because in the UK we run a UK operation, where all of our expense are also in pounds. Unfortunately it is expensive for anyone to operate in the UK and our costs reflect the same margins in the UK as the US. Hi Mike- thanks for your comment about Marketing Plan Pro.

Susan Friedmann, the author, has also written "Riches in Niches," and specializes in niche marketing. But for the younger generation (take ME for example), this is an excellent step-by-step program to create a marketing plan and promote brand recognition. Excellent review.

Why do software companies think we are all seriously rich in the UK?

Could use the software on a Linux machine, or is only a Windows version? John Jantsch, By the way: Do you know when Amazon will send me the complimentary copy of your book? I participated in one webinar with you and it was said the we would get a copy of your book. I double checked if you would send it to international addresses too, and I got a positive answer. I want to review the book and I want to know if you could track the shipment, or if I should order it by myself to be on the safe side. All the Best, Martin Ivana: Great review.

Obviously we are thrilled that you liked the program, but more than that, I am excited because you got and hit on all of the objectives we were out to achieve with this software - easy to use, accessible, not academic, good guidance and practical. Also enjoyed your suggestions for making it better. We need to hear how to make it better as we are committed to improving it as we go and hear more from real business users. An audio for the Gap Dashboard is a great idea. Thanks again - John Jantsch Ivana – Thanks for the great review.
