The Invisible Touch:
The Four Keys to Modern Marketing

        Selling the Invisible was innovative and widely-acclaimed, appearing on the Business Week and New York Times bestsellers lists and eventually being named one of the top ten business books of all time. The Invisible Touch further explores the world of service businesses, and their special challenges in attracting and keeping clients.
        To market their services, service business leaders must first understand the psychology of service prospects and clients.  Harry reveals the critical knowledge, and the pivotal role played by four key infiuences on the decision to choose and retain a service:

  • Price:  Its seductive power--from Uma Thurman's Five-Dollar Milk Shake to the Mansion at Turtle Creek.
  • Brand:  The triumph of Red Pepper, Opium, Yahoo!, and the inscrutable A-AI AC Delco Jani Express Cleaning Service 500.
  • Packaging:   Looking at the pretty mousetraps of Disneyland, the ugly Butterfly Effect, and the tale of oranges and shoe heels.
  • Relationships:  Jim Marinelli's magic word, Laura Nyro's blunder, and further ripples of Recency and Vividness Effects.

        Based on Harry's thirty years of study and business experience, this book delivers its wisdom with unforgettable and often surprising examples--from Apple's resurgence to Camden Yards'  facelift, relying for its centerpiece on the eternal lessons of a famous coffee commercial. 
        Informative and easily implemented, The Invisible Touch shows you how to market a service and, most important, how to keep happy, loyal clients with you forever.
