What people are saying about Marketing To Win

"Coach, mentor, PR & media guru; all words to describe this dynamic woman who continues to captivate audiences across North America. Now to have Susan’s wealth of marketing experience available in these pages is priceless!"
— Cynthia O’Neill President High Altitude Thinking Inc.

"I’ve always had a particular admiration for Susan Sommers. Although we’ve had some amazing one-on-one conversations over the years, it is her presence in a large room with an attentive crowd fi­xed on learning all the tips she is handing them with joy, gusto and heart where she really shines. Susan knows her stuff. She’s been in the business long enough to appreciate it from both aspects – as the “marketer” and the business person keen on making that production a success. What I appreciate most is her straightforwardness, her practical approach in a world of gizmos and gimmicks, and her understanding of what actually does work in the scheme of things. She is able to get the reader organized, thinking ahead, challenged by some new concepts and pushed in a direction that is proven successful. Marketing to Win is the culmination of all that is remarkable about Susan Sommers and the expertise she is willing to share with her readers."
— Carol Gamble, Volunteer Services, Outreach, Toronto

"Susan Sommers taught us everything we know about marketing and branding our small non-profi­t. Measuring just 5 feet, she is a little dynamo who gets it, and knows how to do it all on a budget of nothing. If this book doesn’t help you improve what you are doing now, then I don’t know what will. Buy Marketing to Win, it will be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make."
— Jane O’Hare, Chief Development & Marketing Officer, Alzheimer Society of Toronto
