Title: Becoming Trader Joe: How I Did Business My Way and Still Beat the Big Guys
Published: 2021
How this book is helping:
Infuse your organization with a distinct personality and culture that draws customers in a way that simply competing on price cannot.
Joe Coulombe founded what would become Trader Joe’s in the late 1960s and helped shape it into the beloved, quirky food chain it is today. Realizing early on that he could not compete and win by playing the same game his bigger competitors were playing, he decided to build a store for educated people of somewhat modest means. He brought in unusual products from around the world and promoted them in the Fearless Flyer, providing customers with background on how they were sourced and their nutritional value. He also gave the stores a tiki theme to reinforce the exotic trader ship concept with employees wearing Hawaiian shirts.

Title: Bullseye Marketing: How to Grow Your B2B Business Faster
Published: 2023
How this book is helping:
People in many B2B industries need to reach their potential customers, but are overwhelmed with the claims of 10,000+ martech vendors and proponents of the dozens of marketing channels. They also suffer from "short-termism", and don't dedicate enough resources to building their brands. As a result, many companies either don't grow as fast as they could (producing fewer jobs than they might) or fail entirely (leading to bankruptcy and layoffs). Companies in important industries like sustainability and climate tech especially suffer from these failures. Using the book's Bullseye Marketing framework, and its hundreds of tips, examples, and best practices, companies are much more likely to have marketing and business success.
