Be the Best at What Matters Most
The Only Strategy You will Ever Need
Wiley, 2013
Aperçu
Gain new customers and keep old ones by “being so good at the basics that you’re cutting edge.”
Recommendation
Business needn’t be cluttered or complicated, says author Joe Calloway, who urges companies to pare down and simplify. The only business strategy is to figure out what you do best and then do it. He provides examples of firms that exemplify this tactic, including Zappos, Amazon, and interesting regional firms like Memphis Invest and Grunder Landscaping Company. Customers don’t have the time, patience or money for defective products or bad customer service; they want great work every time. This breezy manual isn’t very deep, but it serves as an excellent reminder of the basics. getAbstract recommends Calloway’s useful primer to new entrepreneurs and to managers who wonder about where to focus and could use a guide to what truly matters.
