Muitos devem pensar que o maior desafio na criação de um negócio é idealizar um produto de sucesso ou desenvolver um serviço indispensável. É aí que muitos se enganam. Afinal, se ninguém souber o que a sua empresa tem a oferecer, não faz diferença que útil e eficiente é a sua oferta. E esse é o motivo pelo qual há décadas o universo do empreendedorismo não sobrevive sem o marketing. Neste livro da série Manual do CEO, Josh Kaufman, o autor de negócios mais lido do mundo, apresenta a seus leitores alguns conceitos que à primeira vista podem até parecer básicos, porém que são esquecidos com frequência – ou até mesmo aplicados de maneira equivocada. Marketing, por exemplo, não se trata apenas de chamar atenção, mas sim de chamar atenção das pessoas certas – com potencial para serem consumidoras do que você tem a oferecer – e no momento propício. Parece uma etapa essencial? Porque é.

Neste livro da série Manual do CEO, Josh Kaufman, o autor de negócios mais lido do mundo, explica como o processo de criação de valor está profundamente relacionado à ação de prover alguma carência do mercado.
