NEW YORK—May 6, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Beyond Product: How Exceptional Founders Embrace Marketing to Create and Capture Value for their Business, by Jill Soley and Todd Wilms, serves as a roadmap for dreamers, entrepreneurs, and trailblazers to transport their ideas from concept to successful business. Over 50 business leaders have lent their perspectives and joined with marketers Todd Wilms and Jill Soley to help the big-idea crowd bring their passion to the marketplace and find their customer. Beyond Product shows entrepreneurs and founders how to take their organization through various stages of growth, overcome obstacles, and learn from common mistakes.

According to Jill Soley and Todd Wilms, while a whole new generation is motivated to build apps, launch businesses, and develop creative new solutions for long-existing problems, most of these new businesses fail.  Soley and Wilms understand that even good products need a tactical strategy for bringing them to market, and they are determined to equip business owners to market their products successfully. Written by two accomplished, sought-after marketers, Beyond Product is easy to read in one sitting, but the strategic and practical advice within it should be regularly revisited for best results.

Entrepreneurs are expected to be all things to all people in their business, but few can excel in every domain required to run an organization, such as sales, marketing, finance, and operations. Soley and Wilms take founders through five stages of growth and explain how to identify and solve challenges as they arise. For every founder who felt lonely at the top, Beyond Product serves as a supportive friend and advisor, there to help launch the next great idea into the market.
