<em> Entrepreneurial success books are in no short supply, and this often leads to the same type of book being published over and over again by the same generic authors. It's no lie that consumers are looking for something fresh, and they can find it with Gregory V. Diehl, author of Brand Identity Breakthrough, a two-month standing Amazon bestseller. </em></p> <strong>Hazel Oscar</strong> for New York Metropolitan Magazine</p> <em> The author provides a uniquely personal approach to branding that uses stories to emphasize lessons rather than tossing out recommendations for your business. Because of this, the book provides an example for companies to follow. If you need a new brand, the book will identify some key areas you want to consider to ensure your story goes right. </em></p> <strong>Charles Franklin</strong> for Small Business Trends <em> Brand Identity Breakthrough by Gregory V. Diehl offers a no-nonsense approach to business by getting down to the bare bones of the business analysis, not only looking at what makes a business tick, but also examining what drives that business and whether it will be successful. However, Brand Identity Breakthrough is no walk in the park with rose-colored spectacles firmly in place - it identifies the many pitfalls facing entrepreneurs today and then offers anecdotes where others have turned potential problems into a positive solution. </em> <strong>Marta Tandori</strong> for Readers' Favorite <em> As you read Brand Identity Breakthrough, you'll feel like you are talking with a master who knows the troubling questions about brand marketing that business owners struggle with. Diehl exposes readers to the winning principles of brand marketing and warns them about the many pitfalls that have often undermined the success of powerful products. This book is a great companion for businesses of every size and nature. </em> <strong>Romuald Dzemo</strong> for Readers' Favorite <em> I very much enjoyed Brand Identity. Author Gregory V. Diehl has done a fantastic job in giving his target audience an easy to use primer on how to achieve exactly what they want from their business. Any reader who is trying to create or sell a product that will get noticed in the marketplace should absolutely read this book. </em> <strong>Tracy Slowiak </strong>for Readers' Favorite <em> Many small business owners just don't understand the critical importance of crafting their own 'story.' Most companies offer a product or service that could be obtained elsewhere, and the reason a prospect will choose you often comes down to how you tell your story. Read Gregory Diehl's Brand Identity Breakthrough and you will have a more compelling and successful story. </em> <strong>Pete Sisco</strong>, ResilientPersonalFreedom.me <em> Quite often, in the rush toward newer methods of developing a brand, the essence of making it truly stand out gets left behind. Brand Identity Breakthrough provides business owners a comprehensive guide which can give your business the tools it needs. Diehl has total mastery over this subtle craft, and it really shows in his writing here. </em> <strong>Purushothaman Rajagopal</strong>, InfinityMedia.in <em> After reading this book I was actually shocked; I had been doing so many of the Do Nots ! I consider this book MANDATORY reading for all creators, regardless of what phase you may be in. And especially for the Tim Ferris 4HWW crowd, like myself, this book is a wake-up call, as well as a hyper-important tool in your toolbox. </em> <strong>Eric Z</strong>, Zbooks.co </p>
