About The Book

The AEC Professional's Guidebook was born from a personal campaign to elevate the marketing and professional acumen of technical and design pros. Architects, Engineers, and Contractors (AEC) work together to create a better, sustainable, and hospitable environment. While these experts exercise their science and math brains to accomplish miraculous things, the "not-so-science-and-math" side, what we know as the business side, may be neglected.
​
For my company, I have been writing marketing tip emails every Monday morning for over three years. These go out to our engineers and project managers. This slow and steady drip of lessons and ideas covers marketing, business development, leadership, professional development, writing, and project management. Together they cover seventy (70) lessons all nicely organized and published for you!

 “Gabe Lett, in his new book, "The AEC Professional’s Guidebook: 70 Lessons to a Stronger Career,” lays out practically everything anyone would need to know to become a more successful marketing professional working in an AEC firm today.  Every AEC marketer should read it.  I also think many of those who own and manage AEC firms could benefit from the content and logical thought process Gabe lays out in his book.  They, too, need to understand the fundamentals of marketing and business development, content marketing, how to communicate better, and how to become better leaders of marketing and better leaders of their firms.
 
I like Gabe’s writing style.  It is clear, coherent…and thankfully devoid of the cliches and buzz terms that would set off the BS detectors of any sensible marketer or design professional today.”

​“I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Gabe Lett's The AEC Professional’s Guidebook: 70 Lessons to a Stronger Career is a modern-day marketing bible for marketing, business development, and technical professionals.

​“In the world of building stuff, we always need fresh perspectives and wisdom outside ourselves to keep our businesses thriving. In particular, most AEC companies are led by technical professionals who do the work. As such, we need to listen to voices outside our realms of expertise to sharpen our leadership and guide us in building our businesses. Gabe Lett has given us seventy lessons to do just that. When it comes to building a stronger career, Gabe has written and compiled a robust guidebook. I strongly encourage anyone working in the AEC industry to put these lessons into practice. If you do, your career will grow and your business will improve.”
– Craig Galati, FAIA, FSMPS, CPSM, Principal at LGA Architecture, Author of The Reluctant Leader

“The title of Gabe Lett’s new book is spot-on. We’ve seen too many manuscripts stuffed with platitudes and philosophies. This book, however, truly is THE guidebook for success and distinction for A/E/C professionals! It is chock-full of real-world, practical, actionable strategies. Read it...and prosper from the iconic insights that Gabe delivers so remarkably.”
– Scott McKain, www.scottmckain.com, Author of The Collapse of Distinction: Stand Out and Move Up While Your Competition Fails.
“The content is accessible and relevant to the seller-doer. The book provides practical ways the reader can take action to improve their communication skills in general, and build relationships with clients. As a marketer, I appreciate the bridge it builds between marketing and technical staff. It clearly shows the ways that seller-doers can contribute to effective marketing and business development as well as demonstrating the value it brings to the firm. I can see this often being returned to as a reference.”
