Outsmarting Goliath confronts this paradox: many of today's consumers turn automatically to brand name products and services, forgetting that the well-advertised brontosauruses often deliver one-size-fits-all service and impersonal sales help. Yet a single phone call, a cleverly crafted letter, a stunning catalogue, winning ad, or a well-prepared face-to-face presentation can change a customer's perception.

Debra Traverso tells you how to prepare for the surprises most likely to throw small businesses off course. She helps you anticipate both predictable hurdles and devastating ordeals, so that no crisis will catch you off guard. No need to waste emotions, time, and money when a crisis hits: you can get a good night's sleep!
