John Jantsch (born April 2, 1960) is an author, speaker, and marketing consultant who specializes in assisting small businesses. [1]
He is the author of Duct Tape Marketing, The Referral Engine, and The Commitment Engine . [2]
Jantsch grew up in Kansas City and attended the University of Kansas. [3] In 2002, Jantsch created the Duct Tape Marketing System, which trains and licenses small business consultants. [4] Two years later he added the Duct Tape Marketing Consultant Network. [5]
Duct Tape Marketing offers marketing workshops and consulting to small businesses looking to expand. [6] Jantsch suggests treating small business marketing systematically and not creating individual "marketing events." [6] [7] One way to do this, Jantsch says, is to maintain a strong and consistent internet presence through blogs, social media, and forums tailored to small business interests. [8]
In 2007, Jantsch published Duct Tape Marketing: The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide, which outlines his systematic approach to marketing. [9] The book is divided into three parts. [10] Part I is titled "The Duct Tape Foundation—The Way to Sticky Marketing" and deals with laying the groundwork for a successful marketing system. [10] Part II is titled "The Duct Tape Lead Generation Machine—Turning Stickiness Into a System That Works for You" and it focuses on implementing the strategies of Part I. [10] Part III is titled "Getting on a Roll!" and it serves as a conclusion meant to ground the preceding two parts. [10]
Michael Gerber said Duct Tape Marketing is "just like its namesake – Duct Tape – it's good, incredibly smart, amazingly practical, and immensely sticky stuff." [11] Duct Tape Marketing Revised & Updated was published in 2011. [12]
In 2010, Jantsch published The Referral Engine: Teaching Your Business to Market Itself. The book outlines an approach to marketing that moves away from complicated marketing campaigns and instead focuses on personal interactions with customers through outlets such as social media and friend-to-friend word of mouth. [13] The idea, Jantsch writes, is that a business should always focus on and understand the importance of referrals. [14]
The Referral Engine was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, a Small Business Trends "Editor's Choice Best Business Books 2010," Library Journal's "Best Marketing Book 2010," and was on 800-CEO-READ's "Best Business Book of 2010" shortlist. [15] [16] [17] [18]
The Commitment Engine: Making Work Worth It is directed at helping business owners establish lasting commitment in their employees, customers, and businesses and examines what makes some businesses worth referring. [19] [20] The book diagnosis the key qualities of successful, "effortless" business approaches. [21]
The Commitment Engine has been featured in Forbes , CNBC, The New York Enterprise Report , and was reviewed positively by Trust Agents author Chris Brogan. [1] [22] [23] [24] Jantsch has given a TEDx talk about the book. [25]

Duct tape is cloth- or scrim-backed pressure-sensitive tape, often coated with polyethylene. There are a variety of constructions using different backings and adhesives, and the term "duct tape" has been genericized to refer to different cloth tapes with differing purposes. A variation is heat-resistant foil tape useful for sealing heating and cooling ducts, produced because the adhesive on standard duct tape fails and the synthetic fabric reinforcement mesh deteriorates when used on heating ducts.
