About Guru in a Bottle
Guru in a Bottle has been specially written for readers with one year’s experience in sales and marketing, from student to business manager.
Guru in a Bottle is about taking technical, high level subjects and making them clear, human and accessible.
Unlike many other sales and marketing books, which tend to treat the reader as a blank canvas, the Guru in a Bottle approach is to guide the reader as their friend and personal guru.
The best-selling series for sales, marketing and law worldwide for Kogan Page consists of: Essential Law for Marketers, The Art of Influencing and Selling and High Impact Marketing That Gets Results. In November 2015, his latest book Improving the Performance of Sponsorship was published by Routledge worldwide.
