Both a companion to Peter Brinckerhoff's Mission-Based Marketing, Second Edition as well as an independent resource, the workbook equips not-for-profit managers and other employees with the means to run their organizations and communicate with a broad range of professionals more efficiently and effectively. The book offers targeted checklists, worksheets, and self-assessment guides, and also includes a customizable CD-ROM that contains all forms and materials within the book. Among other skills, readers will learn:
* How to become a market-driven organization
