Harry Beckwith is an American marketing author and consultant whose work centers on branding, service businesses, persuasion, and client relationships. He is best known for Selling the Invisible and What Clients Love; Selling the Invisible became a business classic and was translated into more than 20 languages, influencing service-marketing practice worldwide.

経歴と著者の歩み

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.

-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
