What readers are saying
Bill B.
"Generally most of us in business are much better at helping others craft their message than we are at crafting our own. We are too close to the topic and have too much to say. SO WHAT is a wonderful little book that makes it crystal clear that what we have to say doesn't matter. The only thing worth saying is what gets to the listener's "So what?" question. And then repeating it and repeating it. This book was recommended to me by a friend, Bob. Thank you Bob for walking around with So What in your hand."

"If not for the focus on professional services (ie selling financial services), I would have given this book 5 stars. With that said, I still found the vast majority of the book to be applicable to me (I'm a product manager). The book was really meaty, very little fluff. I really enjoyed working through it. I finished it over a weekend picking it up off and on while working through the advice presented. I have no doubt that I will benefit from what I have learned from this book. I highly recommend it."
Linda L.
"This book is a quick read but absolutely full of strategic advice to anyone wishing to sell a product, a service or even an idea. I've recommended this book to many friends and colleagues and always hear back that it was definitely worth the time. Excellent communication techniques, and a book I come back to repeatedly just to refresh and keep in the forefront."

"So What?" is one of those rare books that actually changes how you think about communication. Instead of overcomplicating things, Mark Magnacca gets right to the point: people want to know what's in it for them. The book gave me a simple framework I can use whether I'm talking to customers, colleagues, or even friends. It's practical, easy to read, and filled with examples that actually make the ideas stick. Highly recommend."
