Paul was years ahead of everyone else in identifying the great trend towards the New Heartland. While everyone else is now discovering what is happening there, Paul was the true pioneer. No brand today can be taken seriously if they don’t have a New Heartland strategy to build relationships with customers, and The New Heartland Speaks provides a practical roadmap in how to do so. Paul’s intellectual rigor and leading analytical research provides the true story of what is happening, and this book is a must read.
