In Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey A. Moore explains why most tech products fail to gain mainstream acceptance. He identifies a dangerous gap—"the chasm"—between visionary early adopters and the pragmatic early majority.

By focusing on direct response marketing and filling in each of the nine boxes—from selecting a target market to orchestrating referrals—any business can create a powerful, effective marketing plan on a single page.
