...Positioning: The Battle For Your Mind by Al Ries and Jack Trout Review An insightful look into the challenge of positioning your product in the prospect's mind. Chapter List Chapter 1. What Positioning Is All About Many people misunderstand the role of communication in business and politics today. In our over communicated society, very little communication actually takes place. Rather, a company must create a “position” in the prospect’s mind. A position that takes into consideration not only a company’s own strengths and weaknesses, but those of its competitors as well. Chapter 2. The Assault on the Mind There are just too many companies, too many products, too much marketing noise. The per-capita consumption of advertising in America is $376 per year. Chapter 3. Getting Into the Mind The easy way to get into a person’s mind is to be first. If you can’t be first, then you must find a way to position yourself against the product, the politician, the person who did get there first. Chapter 4. Those Little Ladders in Your Head To cope with our over communicated society, people have learned to rank products on mental ladders. In the rent-a-car field, for example, most people put Hertz on the top rung, Avis on the second rung, and National on the third. Before you can position anything, you must know where it is on the product ladder in the mind. Chapter 5. You Can’t Get There from Here A competitor has no hope of going head-to-head against the position IBM has established...

...multiple chapters for several different courses in books that can be quite complicated. SQ3R helps make reading purposeful and meaningful, so that you use your time most effectively. Here's how this strategy works. Survey Get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights: * Read the title, headings, and subheadings. * Take note of words that are italicized or bold. * Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps, and other visual material. * Read captions. * Read the very beginning and end of the chapter. Question As you survey the text, ask a question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here's how you can create questions: * Turn the title, headings, or subheadings into questions. * Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words. Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better, and recall the information more easily later on. Read Read one section of a chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points. Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs, and illustrations, as these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text. Recite At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer to your question...
