Do you take credit cards?

This topic I posted has become very interesting to me. The way everyone is reacting.
I posted about the book I read to “help” those on the COW that are starting out and need some advice on how to “get clients.” You see posts on here all the time about how to get, keep, or revive clients.
This book offers solid advice on what you “should be doing” to solve those problems. Either you need to fill your pipeline, give better presentations, follow up better, close the sale, etc. Whatever you are faulting in, the book gives you ideas on how to improve in that area.
Yet, everyone is bashing the book and the advice given within and “have not read a single page.”
This forum (is of course) to help those with Business and Marketing and that’s all I’m trying to do. I read a book that opened my eyes to things I was doing wrong and wanted to share it.
It’s less than $10 bucks or Free at your local library. You should check it out.

Milton – we are a sarcastic bunch.
Personally I have a stack of a half dozen sales books at home. Nearly all of them make promises of sales success by following the author’s rules or guidelines. But most of them repeat the same things we have been saying: know your customer.

It just seems a lot like a heavy sales pitch. Looking at the reviews on amazon also look like a heavy sales pitch. I could be wrong, and I’m not one to say that it’s bad until I’ve tried it myself, but I start questioning something when I only hear “great reviews” over and over again. Are there any other sources other than amazon that has user reviews for this book? Before I ever consider buying a product, I look at reviews good and bad from multiple sources. Maybe if you like this book so much you can list where else can you buy this book that allows reviews online?

i go to amazon for all my books. cause of the reviews and cause of the prices!
i love when i can get a great book for less than a buck!
to be honest, I read the book for FREE online. My library has an online ebook website and that’s how i accessed it. i did order a copy though because it has worksheets and such that i couldn’t print.

Milton,
I don’t think anyone is truly “trashing the book without reading it.”
What some of us responded to, was your comment that it teaches you how to follow-up 10 times in two months to close the deal.
You later said that was wrong but that the point was to follow up.
On that we agree.
But when you yourself exaggerated the methodology espoused in the book, pardon us if we take exception to something that you helped foment with the points that you yourself stated.
If your original premise had been true, I was going to suggest the writer change the title to “Stalking Your Prey: How to Draw Blood When Dealing With the Elusive Buyer.” Or something equally appropriate.
Pardon us if we misunderstood you.

PS: But as I also said in one of the comments I made in one of my posts in this thread, “But hey, ideas are always valuable and there is no perfect answer to this subject, so the more arrows you have in your quiver, the better.”
Translation: Buy the book, it likely has something of value.

Sure… once a prospect says “no…” but in my experience, people are busy and sometimes just need to be contacted several times AFTER they express an interest in a project. I have been using some of the advice about following up with a phone call rather than a text or an email and it has been effective. Potential clients that, at first I thought were ignoring me, ultimately are glad to hear from me and have just been busy with other things. But I certainly agree, once you get the “no thanks” its time to move on.

Are you sure this appllies to this industry? Sounds more like yellow page ad sales.
I’d never pester/chase off a potential client…especially if I felt they could be a potential client.

Milton, don’t take it personal. It’s just that your post sounds like a bad commerical for a product that gives poor advice. Ironicly, your signature sells marketing tips. That kind of quacks me up like a freakin duck.
lol
but again, don’t take it personal.
