WHAT IS THE PLAYBOOK?

FIVE BATTLE TESTED PLAYS FOR CAPTURING AND KEEPING THE LEAD IN ANY MARKET

Every company needs to figure out the best way to beat the competition. What do you do if the other guy is already dominating the market? Should you challenge them head on or lie low for a while? Should you offer your customers high-end features or a low-end price? Or both?

During their years at Microsoft, John Zagula and Rich Tong answered such questions so effectively that they helped Microsoft Office and Windows grow from a 10 percent market share to 90 percent market share. As venture capitalists, Zagula and Tong have continued to test and perfect their system with hundreds of companies of all sizes and at all stages.

Now they're sharing their best ideas and methods in an easy-to-apply book that will be enormously helpful to maketers in every industry and leaders in every size company.

Just like a great sports coach with a well-designed playbook, managers who read this book will have the tools, tips, and tricks they need to leapfrog market research, craft a smart strategy, motivate their team, and start scoring major points against the opposition.
