Harry Beckwith is an American marketing author and consultant whose work centers on branding, service businesses, persuasion, and client relationships.

전기 및 작가의 여정

Harry Beckwith built his reputation by treating service marketing as a discipline distinct from product marketing. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Stanford University, he went on to the University of Oregon School of Law, where he served as Law Review Editor-in-Chief. After beginning in law, he shifted into advertising and marketing, formed Beckwith Advertising and Marketing in 1988, and eventually led Beckwith Partners, a firm that has advised Fortune 200 companies and venture-backed startups on branding and positioning. That move from legal argument to commercial persuasion became the turning point that defined his later career.

quote
Product distinctions, the historic centerpiece of product marketing, exist only briefly—and in the prospects’ minds, often not at all
-Selling the Invisible
quote
When companies discuss their problems, they talk about themselves. It’s not ego at work. It’s just that people talk about what they know, and what people know is their company. But what people really need to know—what you really need to know—is your customers and prospects. Get out, climb out, have someone pull you out of the tunnel
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Remember the Butterfly Effect. Tiny cause, huge effect
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Don’t charge by the hour. Charge by the years
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Building your brand doesn’t take millions. It takes imagination
-Selling the Invisible

Write a mission statement, but keep it private
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Every prospect hopes you will heed the old New England proverb: “Don’t talk unless you can improve the silence.”
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Tell people—in a single compelling sentence—why they should buy from you instead of someone else

Make your service easy to buy
-Selling the Invisible
quote
Don’t sell your service. Sell your prospect
