This book is outstanding!  It takes a very simple approach to communicating the best way to maintain business with current customers and grow your business with both existing and new customers.  Each one of us can implement the seven steps into our selling.  Mr. Smith did a great job of giving us examples we can work with.  I have already recommended this book to several colleagues!

This is not just a marketing book, but a detailed blueprint helping you each step of the way from business inception to dealing with growing pains to catapulting into and staying a market leader in your industry. I consider myself a marketing guru, and one of the reasons my business has shown consistent year over year growth. I really didn't expect to learn much new marketing strategy, but I was pleasantly surprised to highlight the heck out of this Kindle book. I highly recommend Allan's book whether you're a marketing newbie, first time biz owner or even a seasoned business operator; it will help open up your mind and give you a kick in the butt to make your business even better. Thanks for a terrific book!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!  I already own a professional organizing business and wanted to grow it to include staging, so I picked up Mary's book.  It was chock-full of incredibly useful information that I was able to implement immediately!  I've got post its stuck all over this book because I keep referring back to it -- it's become my marketing bible!  Mary's book helped me grow both my existing business and my staging business, and I recommend it for anyone in their first 5 years of running any services-based business!  Thanks Mary!

Reiss' book gives ideas you can use obviously gleaned from his personal experiences "where the rubber meets the road."My sons are buying my business and I've given them the book as assigned reading; particularly  the chapter"Numeracy".I personally used his ideas from the  chapter "Building the Company" about how to get free publicity  instead of paying for advertising. I'm building a condo project and  received 8 newspaper articles, with photos- some front page- in three  different newspapers! The articles generated 16 inquiries and 1 sale so  far. Bob's 16 common attributes of entrepreneurs in Chapter 1 are  fascinating. I teach literacy to a foreigner who is keenly interested in  business and I used this chapter with him. If you own a business, want to or  deal with entrepreneurs, get this book and study it!

I truly wish I had this book when I first started my Real Estate business, as well as my network marketing business! If you are wildly successful in your business endeavors, by all means, continue what you are doing, it's obviously working for you. However, if you are looking to improve your customer relationships, your client base, or your business overall, do yourself a favor and read this book. I'm on my second go as a REALTOR and this time I'm pretty successful. This book is definitely one of the reasons why. Stop chasing clients who don't want to be chased. Instead, attract the clients want to work with you by applying the underlying principles taught by Michael Maher.

I'm at the beginning stages of my business and so thankful I found this before getting neck deep in too much to handle and no profit to show for it. I've read/listened to others by Michalowicz and am SO thankful for his ideas and principles! It's helped me know which opportunities to say no to and which client to target. Wherever you are in your business, this book is packed full of amazingly helpful info on growing a business that is actually worth it - not just a business you think is working but isn't.

This book has been a huge benefit to me in my solo entrepreneur business.

Trevor Crane writes with sincerity and off the cuff humor, as he easily lays out the steps to increasing business as he shows you how to attract higher paying clients.  It's fun and actually exciting to read.  You can feel his energy and love for this process coming through the pages.
Guiding service-based business professionals to dramatically increase their profits by creating predictable and duplicate-able sales systems - It's the key to your success!

In my business I offer packages of services that range from $400 to $2000.  It is my goal to schedule 5 of the higher paying packages each week, rather than 10 of the smaller packages.  Less work, more efficient, and definitely more profitable.  What could be better?

Throughout the pages of this book, are lists, plans, bonuses - all offered for free - to assist int he process of creating systems and attracting that higher paying client.  What a blessing!!  STEPS TO FOLLOW.  I love it

SO - read this book, define your best client for your business, lay out the duplicate-able system for attracting that client and MAKE MORE MONEY!  The facts and formulas are all here.  All you have to do is take action. This book has become an invaluable blueprint for my small business to reach heights I have dreamed of - but never had the Yellow Brick Road to follow.
Thank you Trevor Crane for sharing your knowledge in such a succinct, sincere and entertaining manner.  You have made my business so much easier and productive, as we are scheduling more of the high end packages this season.  I am grateful for your book.
Don't hesitate to get the guidance you desperately need.  I'm glad I did.

This is the third book (52 Ways to Sell More Books and How to Sell Books by the Truckload on Amazon) that I have read by Penny Sansevieri. I must say, the author does not disappoint. While she mainly seeks to assist new/indie authors in their marketing endeavors, I find that anyone with their own business would greatly benefit from reading this book. While reading her step by step advice on growing your business, I immediately thought of all my friends with home businesses -- Mary Kay, Jamberry, Scentsy, 31 Gifts, Pampered Chef, Beachbody. I was anxious to recommend this book to them. Sansevieri spells out how to use social media (from the obvious Facebook and Twitter to Pinterest and LinkedIn) to grow your business. She also gives stellar advice on setting up and maintaining a website. Last, but certainly not least, is generating traffic. Owning, and more importantly, growing, a business is a 24/7/365 job. With Sansevieri's knowledge, tips, and workbooks, using the internet for  publicity is not only manageable, but easy.

I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This book offers terrific ideas on how to differentiate your business and drive profitability. What I appreciated the most was that it contains actionable examples for the reader to consider and apply to their business. Many of the topics are daily activities which the authors have identified as an opportunity to delight your customers and leave a lasting positive impression. This is a tremendous way to increase customer loyalty. By doing so your bottomline can benefit.

I highly recommend Dave Lakhani's book How to Sell When Nobody's Buying (and how to sell even more when they are)! Any business owner wanting to increase their revenue, or any sales person who needs a jump start should read this book! It's loaded with very creative, out-of-the box ideas and resources to get you in front of your target audience. One of my favorite techniques is the sample introduction letter on page six. I don't want to spoil it, but how could anyone receive this professional letter and small gift and still say no to a meeting? It's genius.

Dave Lakhani doesn't shelter us from the hard reality of our economic times. His Quick Start section reminds us that making a living today "...means working harder, longer, and often without immediate financial reward in order to achieve great success. The payoff in the long run is that as the economy changes or as your industry changes, you'll be on the front end of profitability from all the hard work you did today."

IT'S SO MOTIVATING!

Another quote from the book states "The law of reciprocation says that people are much more likely to give you something when you've given them something first." In other words, givers gain. I have put this into practice twice since reading the book by spending hours of (unpaid) time researching a clients company, putting together a marketing strategy customized to their industry and presenting them with miscellaneous ideas, tips and strategic partners to help them build their business. My efforts didn't go unnoticed and both clients were so pleased, they switched all of their marketing jobs over to our company in order to work with me!

This book also contains valuable information on Social Media and the troubled Real Estate Industry that were helpful to me in creating strategic marketing plans for my clients. There are so many additional sales nugget take-aways in this book! I encourage you to buy it and be on your way to successful selling (and a fatter paycheck)!

This is the guidebook for any service company owner who is tired of the project treadmill where a new job does no more than replace one you just finished. If you want to grow, this book will show you how to use the consulting approach where the service company collaborates with the buying company to create a valuable partnership based on the buying company's needs. That partnership should last indefinitely as the service company becomes an integrated supplier and more valuable to the buyer as time goes on.

Do yourself a favor and read this book from cover to cover. Then start over again to relate every page to your own experiences and realize how you can use these guidelines to approach clients with a different and much more rewarding objective. In a nutshell, you are going to love this book! It's a game changer.

During the last 30 years I have worked with many business tools and models to help my clients grow their business. Recently I had a chance to read David's book and was incredibly impressed with the model he has built and the simplicity it provides in helping clients.  David has taken a lifetime of learnings and shares a very powerful but simple to use approach to helping a business grow and prosper.  My definition of a great tool or model is one that can actually be understood, implemented and used on a continuous basis. I highly recommend anyone reading this treasure and seeing how they can make their business more successful... Thank you David for sharing your wisdom.
