One American in Ten Tells the Other Nine How to Vote, Where to Eat, and What to Buy
The book explores the significant impact of a small group of Americans who shape the opinions and behaviors of the majority, influencing choices in shopping, purchasing, and even voting. It delves into the characteristics of these "Influentials," their motivations, and the ways they can be swayed, providing insights into social dynamics and consumer behavior.
The world's preeminent word-of-mouth marketing experts demonstrate how in-person social networking, not online marketing, is the secret to soaring revenues.

This book tells companies how to win over these people who will--by word of mouth--become their most important sales tool
