What this book covers

Gil and Anya Gildner connect agency positioning with the practical economics of running a small firm. The perspective is particularly relevant when an owner wants to understand what a focused operation could look like. Use their model to question your service mix and workload, while testing its assumptions against your own clients and costs.
