| |  | | | In Brief
Now that product differences are rapidly and easily copied, or are perceived to be minimal, differentiating a company's products and services from the competition has become key to corporate survival. Marketing guru Jack Trout delivers a practical guide for businesses on developing powerful differentiation strategies.
| | | | From The Publisher
In Differentiate or Die, bestelling author Jack Trout doesn't beat around the bush. He takes marketers to task for taking the easy route too often, employing high tech razzle dazzle and sleight of hand when they should be working to discover and market their product's uniquely valuable qualities. He examines successful differentiation initatives--from giants like Dell Computer, Southwest Airlines, and Wal-Mart to smaller success stories like Streit's Matzoh and Connecticut's tiny Trinity College--to determine why some marketers succeed at differentiating themselves while others struggle and fail.
More than just a collection of marketing success stories, however, Differentiate or Die is an in-depth exploration of today's most successful differentiation strategies. It explains what these strategies are, where and when they should be applied, and how they can help you carve out your own image in a crowded marketplace.

Great Ideas

Dotcom executives must learn the lessons of Differentiate or Die. It they don't, I pity their investors.
— (Aaron Cohen, CEO, Concrete Media) —Aaron Cohen
What I like about Differentiate or Die is the book's emphasis on the power of logic, simplicity, and clarity--getting to the essence of a problem. In Silicon Valley, attributes like that can make the difference between having lunch and being lunch.
— (Scott McNealy, CEO, Sun Microsystems, Inc.) —Scott McNealy
Marketers are giving up too easily in trying to differentiate themselves from one another. Jack Trout effectively blows the whistle on them.
— (Rance Crain, President, Crain Communications Inc.) —Rance Crain
Another great book by the king of positioning.
— (John Schnatter, CEO, Papa John's International) —John Schnatter
We've built our business by being first--and executing best. Jack Trout and Steve Rivkin are doing the same, delivering the timely, powerful insights that will drive tomorrow's marketing strategies. A must read for anyone looking to win in an unforgiving competitive marketplace.
— (Mike Ruettgers, CEO, EMC Corporation) —Mike Ruettgers
Great ideas on how folks have differentiated products that you would never believe could be differentiated.
— (Kenneth D. Walker, President, Meineke Discount Muffler Shops) —Kenneth D. Walker
