“I loved the book. We’ve actually enjoyed working through the materials – not least because it works!”

“I recently finished ‘holiday’ reading ‘Watertight Marketing’ by Bryony Thomas – as recommended by a colleague. I found the book to be very readable, relatable and practical. It is also very process focussed and it flipped the whole concept – as I had previously understood it, on its head. As recommended by Bryony, I’m now reading the book for a second time, this time applying it to my own situation. I feel confident that positive results/outcomes will follow – and that’s from someone who has previously loathed marketing. Strong recommendation from me.”

“Well worth buying the 2nd edition for the extra frameworks the author has added and new examples of how the thinking is used in real companies. One of the new frameworks which is particularly helpful is the Purpose/Profit matrix which gives us a lens through which to view the clients we work with. A lot of the key concepts are also usefully explained in more depth to give readers a richer understanding of the approach and how to use it in practice. Of course, still at its heart is the same practical, highly valuable methodology that businesses of any size can use and apply – and thousands have already used it to great effect in their own companies. Clearly and thoughtfully written, Bryony speaks eloquently for an ethical, customer-centric, purposeful marketing approach. Essential reading for business owners and directors, marketers, sales people and anyone who knows (or wants to find out) how great marketing is the cornerstone of their business success.”

“Readable, Relatable, Practical”

“This book is a must-read for anyone wishing to step up their business and achieve marketing-led growth. This book turns the theory on its head and makes them highly accessible. Bryony uses the best marketing concepts and distills them down to a simple, easy to follow and immediately implement structure that anyone could use.”

‘This is THE marketing bible! A must have for all businesses serious about growth.’

“Hands down the best book on marketing there is. There’s no fluff only easy to use, easy to implement ideas and concepts.”

“If you want to achieve long term sales results, get in control of your marketing and most importantly ensure good customer retention – then this book is invaluable. Bryony lays out very clearly the whole buying cycle (or funnel) and identifies each potential leakage point and how to ensure it’s all watertight. It’s a really good analogy and clearly explains what to watch out for. The worked example case study shows how it’s all done in practice. With plenty more case studies included, it’s really a blue print for any small business owner to follow. Too many start-ups make the mistake of thinking it’s all about maximising sales, when really it’s more about thinking through the whole buying cycle and making sure you keep the customers you get. No point in continuing to endlessly fill a leaky bucket!”

“In this book Bryony demystifies marketing. Her written style is conversational but articulate. The Chapters are divided into short sections each containing pearls of information. The use of real business examples and worked scenarios are invaluable and enable readers to apply the learning outcomes to their own Companies and ultimately develop a successful marketing strategy.

In my opinion this book is not only a great learning tool but also one to be visited again and again as an essential point of reference . Quite possibly the only marketing book that a busy business person needs.”

“Watertight Marketing is a no-nonsense guide to help step up the marketing of your business in a truly different way.”

“Without doubt this is the best book on small business marketing I have read. A no-nonsense, honest to goodness, blueprint that any small business can implement and improve their bottom line. It cuts through the jargon and delivers something that can be used in the real world.”

“Bryony’s book builds on the first edition and continues to offer a really sensible and holistic marketing approach that fits perfectly with a structured sales approach. Solid marketing and sales theories are pulled together in the digestible analogy of finding and plugging 13 leaks in a funnel. Unlike many marketing books, Bryony encourages fixing problems with existing customers and optimising the win probability of identified opportunities as well as generating more leads and prospects. Ideal for small businesses, the book is supported by a comprehensive web school to encourage self-sufficiency and informed decision making.”

“I was recommended this book by an Associate who credited it for transforming her Business.

I have just read through it – as recommended – and already it makes so much sense. Its broken into chunks and analogies which make it easy to understand for the non marketer.

After reading the book I recently completed a free online training that Bryony delivered which has helped to understand exactly where I have have leaks and where my marketing needs better foundations, and having had a follow up call with Bryony establish where best to start to help me stop the leaks.

I can’t wait now read through the book again, take notes and listen/watch the accompanied video and web content to help me start planning my next steps.”

“Bryony’s theory has revolutionised my thinking after 20 years in marketing.”
