Promotion Books

This book, while a "must-read" for seminar promoters who plan to offer back-of-the-room buying opportunities for attendees, is also required reading for platform speakers. I've been speaking and selling from the platform for many years, and within just the first 10 pages, got valuable tips that will help my increase my back-of-the-room sales. Very well-written (obviously from years of real-world experience) this easy-to-digest book of 101 tips delivers tactics that will definitely increase sales. I've purchased 100's of books from Amazon over the years - but this is only the second book I've felt compelled to write a review over. If you're a seminar promoter OR seminar speaker who sells, you must have this book in your library. Highly Recommended.

³THE VISIONARY PACKAGE, a book by Richard Gerstman and Herbert Meyers--two
important figures in the package design world‹is an extremely informative
and well-written account of the history of packaging design and concepts.
Even more significantly, it¹s a personal account of the marketing and design
challenges that these partners and others encountered over the years and
their responses to those challenges.    It is unique in that it is written
for the industry professional as well as the total novice who knows nothing
more about packaging than what they see on their grocer¹s shelves.    I
enjoyed it tremendously and would also imagine it to be a natural text for
all students of packaging and design.²

I like this book very much. It is full of information and useful for my business.

Caner has written a superb history of the early monastic movement in the Constantinian empire. He deals at length about those labelled "Messalians" by a church hieriarchy anxious about their own donatee status in the patronage-heavy Roman world. He has a good blend of the anecdotal reference with the historical record, and offers insights into the complex interactions of church politics with the sincere desire to comply with the more rigorous quotations of Jesus. I found his observations with regards to the Christological controversies very interesting, as they were fueled to large extent by the ambitions of itinerant monks who found economic support outside ecclesiastical circles. Ultimately, the Council of Chalcedon and subsequent imperial proscriptions made the business of wandering, begging monks a very risky one, with the result that monks became exclusive dwellers of static, easily-controlled, church-run monasteries. The day of the trouble-making, doctrine-spouting "Have Gospel, Will Preach" Monk came to an end. Caner's book belongs in the bookscase of every early church history fan.

It gives the reader a great introduction on webcasting concept, technology, theory and implementation. It is a great book for beginners as well as for amateur technicals. A must for all people interested in webcasting.

What a super book! If you have stress at work, you know it can cripple your workday. As a writer-editor, this book has helped me look stress right in the eye and get control. The author, Valerie O'Hara, Ph.D., founded the La Jolla Institute for Stress Management. She shares her experience in training others in such stress management areas as: Conscious Breathing, Deep Relaxation, Meditation, Office Exercises, Nutrition, Reframing Your Thinking Patterns, and much more. In this era of road rage, office shootings, and abuse in the workplace, this is a must read. It will show you how to lower your stress, if you follow the easy instructions.

My first introduction to this book was when I met, worked with and befriended the author. It is packed full of information on Wellness Centers but also provides a great discussion on the business case for the development of this building type. Inspired by her mother's battle and death from breast cancer, Joan Whaley combined her training as an architect, her talent as a writer, and her passion to teach others how to live for optimal wellness in the creation of this book. Sadly, Joan herself lost her own personal battle with cancer last year. However, this book is a continual reminder of her positive and outgoing energy and her enthusiam for life.

Having just been sent a copy of David Freemantle's latest book I can totally recommend it. David uses live examples from many different companies across the world and it is one of those management books that you don't put down. Page after page of common sense combined with a real understanding of the problems that organisations are having as we approach this new age of opportunity. David explains has given many examples of organisations that can prove that by caring about people you can be incredibly successful. A great read for any leader that wants to unleash the potential of people across the business. We are all still learning and David's book leaves you with the feeling that with belief anything is possible.

Got an advanced copy of this and it's great. One of the things I love about Bob is his ability to break complicated subjects down into bite-sized pieces that are easy to grasp. "29 Key Principles" is the kind of thing you'll want to listen to with a pen and pad in hand because the ideas you'll get from this CD could literally be life-changing for you. This CD is a real bargain for the price and I think ANY musician (or creative person) will benefit from what it contains. By the way, if you're not already on Bob's free newsletter, you should subcribe immediately. Really good stuff...

With a title this funny, how could the rest of the book not be? Lewis Grizzard delivers in this hilarious look at southern life. Lewis at some point touches on everything from dissatisfied transplant yankees (Delta's ready when you are...), boys with earrings (pirates, rock stars, or gay), and marriage (he's had so many wives that he can't remember their names. He calls them all "plaintiff"). This and all of Lewis Grizzard's books should be handed out to any yankee crossing the Mason-Dixon line. I can think of no better primer on proper southern behavior
