Overview

Our service economy is dominated by outmoded marketing models from the world of products.

The Invisible Promise reveals the critical differences between service and product marketing and outlines a service-centric strategy for planning your business, persuading your prospects, and relating to your clients.


Unlike products, you can’t see, touch, or feel services. Marketing services requires an approach that doesn’t rely on the traditional 4 Ps of product marketing: product, price, place, and promotion. Selling invisible services requires making the promise of their yet-unseen value resonate with prospective clients.

In The Invisible Promise, Harry Beckwith, New York Times bestselling author of Selling the Invisible, applies his 40-plus years of advising businesses around the world and his research in the last 10 years to impart the proven guidance that businesses of all sizes desperately need. In this new age in marketing, he details how to build messages that enhance your reputation for integrity, stand out from the clutter, and can produce exponential growth while saving you both time and money.

If you are responsible for marketing a service, the tried-and-true strategies for product marketing simply will not fit. You need to alter your approach radically.

That’s where The Invisible Promise comes in.

“For more than two decades, I have devoured Harry’s ideas on marketing the invisible . . . The rise of online marketing and social media makes his ideas in The Invisible Promise even more important today. I already am applying them in my business and recommending them to everyone in my network.”

The Invisible Promise and Harry Beckwith have the process right side up. It’s hard to find answers that make sense. It’s hard to find answers that you can use the minute you read them. And it’s almost impossible to find answers that work. This book answers all three questions both invisibly and visibly.”
Jeffrey Gitomer, Author, Little Red Book of Selling
