It lists over a hundred companies that develop software for the real estate and mortgage banking industry. Software that tracks your clients specifically for mortgages or real estate, keeps info, prepares letters, estimates, comparisons all the way down to guiding the loan and real estate transactions to the closing stage with complete cruise control. I contacted many companies and they usually send free demos and I purchased the one that best suited my needs and it helped me maintain client info and keep contact with them while at the same time developing new relationships and approaching new potential customers with ease!

I was surprised that in a city of more than 80,000 inhabitants with surrounding population of another 80,000 in nearby towns I was one of maybe a handful of either real estate agents or loan officers who even used a software program! This is out of over 300 licensed realtors and another 40 loan officers!

This allowed me to close more loans a month than the majority, get more referrals and have an 85% to 95% customer loyalty with no advertising!!!

If you want to develop a clientele, maintain happy customers, track referrals and enjoy a business on cruise control in this business you need to use the latest technology to take you there (where few others are at!!!)!!!

This book was very helpful as we tried to choose a camp for our children. This book gives you all the basic facts that you need to know to narrow your search.

These guides (Right & Left), are an excellent tool to discover just "WHO" is out there and "WHY".
Although these groups come and go, Laird Wilcox keeps track with the groups listed and hardly anyone is missed in the next year's edition.
A MUST HAVE database for anyone who is interested in the study of social/political extremism and provides "contact" information for each group listed.

If you are trying to fund raise for a non profit organization like a mosque, synagogue or church the lessons in this book may be very applicable.

In summary the book explains how to set up a fund raising board, what sacrifices the leaders of the fund raisers need to make to stay involved and a variety of successful strategies depending on the audience you're working against.

The one liner: "Do I raise a million dollars from one person or a dollar from a million people?"

The Handbook features historical vignettes, campus sports, and campus student services, costs...even religious affiliations! Great one-stop resource, excellent for any student and affordable too.

The book was written by then UW-Milwaukee Professors Starbuck and Nystrom. Dr. Nystrom, my graduate advisor, is an excellent author and the book provides detailed information regarding the structures and actions or organizations. Their theories on organizational decay are very useful in understanding organizations.

My only regret is that this book is out-of-print; however, if one is planning a ski vacation anywhere in the Alps, this book is priceless. Claire Walter, of Skiing Magazine, lists ski areas for each country as a chapter. Each area is decribed succintly including statistics and trail maps. Each resort is rated from 1 to 10 for snow and skiing conditions,apres-ski, other sports and value for money. The pictures of each resort area make one drool! We have used it 4 times and it works. Pray for a new publication of this guide.
