Professional Services Marketing 3.0 Offers Significant View of the Evolution of Marketing for Professionals Since 1977—And How it is Changing Professional Practice
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 08, 2012
In his new book, Professional Services Marketing 3.0, Marcus shows lawyers and accountants how to seize the opportunities of a rapidly changing economic environment, an intensely competitive landscape, and a highly charged computer age. A professional services marketer since 1951, and a pioneer in law and accounting firm marketing, Marcus says, “Understanding the past, and the evolution of professional services marketing since it was made legal, and observing the evolution of the professional firm, foretells the future of both, and the opportunity to profit in it.”
Marketing 1.0, says Marcus, was the 1977 Supreme Court decision enabling “frank” marketing. Marketing 2.0 has been the period since, during which professional services marketing techniques have been refined. And Professional Services Marketing 3.0 represents the emerging practices and their effects on altering the nature of law firms and accounting firms.
Marcus, a renowned consultant to the professions, describes how the ability to compete aggressively, using formerly forbidden promotional practices, has changed the nature of accounting and law firm practice. “We see new kinds of firms, with new configurations, developed to improve productivity and client service,” he says. “We see new attitudes by the accountants and the attorneys, and new relationships between the practice professionals and the marketing professionals. In Professional Services Marketing 3.0, Marcus shows how making marketing a core competency is no longer an option – it’s necessary to survival into the future.
With a foreword by Bruce MacEwen, of Adam Smith Esq., an introduction by Michelle Golden of Golden Practices Inc., and an array of advance praise Professional Services Marketing 3.0 already comes highly recommended from some of professions’ best known thought leaders, practitioners and advisors. Says MacEwen, “When I first heard the title of Bruce Marcus’ latest book, I thought Professional Services Marketing 3.0? Well, forgive me, but I think I need to be clued in on what exactly were 1.0 and 2.0.” Not only does Bruce answer this question, he provides an expansive and ambitious vision of what he sees ahead for us as we cross the threshold
