 Worth a read June 14, 2008
Nutshell review - Extends Trout and Ries' original book Positioning, The Battle For Your Mind. A quick and light read worth it as a refresher to the original material.
 Thin and dated February 22, 2008

At 166 page the book is on the thin side, but the it's even thinner contents wise. Mostly a series of anecdotal look at positioning of different large companies with large advertising budgets.
 Very concise message and easy to read October 25, 2007
I like the notion that "...to penetrate this noise, the marketing communicator must present a very simple, straightforward message in a way that is attractive to the customer or potential customer. Two approaches that have worked effectively are by presenting the information as "news" or as a "slice of life story."Somehow feeling inspired and refreshed.Recommend it.
 The Natural Laws of Gaining Market Share March 3, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Trout has a half a dozen bestsellers to his name. He has been a consultant for major lending corporations. Rivkin worked with Trout then branched out on his own. Together these two have put together a great book for positioning your company in today's market. Examples are take from their personal experience with companies. The first part of the book covers the latest psychology of how the mind of a prospect is influenced. It covers how the mind characterizes different types of incoming data. Part 2 goes into the repositioning of your company to correspond and take advantage of these natural laws. Trout covers the basic pitfalls in this area as well. This book is well titled (positioned)!

A clear message quickly absorbed August 26, 2001

Some of those who read the original book, Positioning, found this sequel disappointingly short on new information. However, if you have not read the original, this book is worth reading, in part because it applies its own principles to communicate simply and briefly. Case studies are kept short and the central messages delivered efficiently then reinforced. Trout emphasizes the enormous amount of information and number of choices facing people and the consequent need for simplicity of message, and a clear position in the minds of consumers. Trout uniformly dislikes brand line extension, though he does not deal with counter-examples. The first section of the book, Understanding the Mind sets up the cognitive framework for the positioning approach. The second section, Dealing with Change, helps companies reposition themselves in consumers' minds. The third section, The Tricks of the Trade, goes into some specific strategies for penetrating the noise with your signal. There are deeper and newer books on the subject, but the clear message of this quickly-readable book is worth taking in.
