    Story

    Yunus' theory bridges the gap between old capitalism, based on 19th century view of man as a rational profit making machine, to what science now knows about how we really work and about the damages of the old approach.
    Yunus offers a real hope to establish a different type of economy with better fulfillment and joy to all, without getting carried to socialistic dreams, but rather in a very practical way.

    Many questions still remain open, but this is the beginning of the road.

  • The Ultimate Sales Machine

    "Fabulous book"

    0 of 1 helpful votes

    Incredible sales advice, plus additional great advice on how to run any business. If you are going to buy one book on marketing and selling, this is the best one I have read or heard to date. The narration is also good. As an added benefit, the book moves really well, with fascinating and often very humorous stories. Sure, there is a little bit of ego that comes through, but Chet is trying to teach us how to approach being as good as he obviously is at sales and marketing.

    In an age of Twitter, smartphones, and self-service kiosks, high-tech but still high-touch customer service is the answer. Today’s customers are a hard bunch to crack. Time-strapped, screen-addicted, value-savvy, and socially engaged, their expectations are tougher than ever for a business to keep up with. They are empowered like never before and expect businesses to respect that sense of empowerment - lashing out at those that don’t. Take heart: Old-fashioned customer service, fully retooled for today’s blistering pace and digitally connected reality, is what you need to build the kind of loyal customer base that allows you to survive - and thrive.

    Most personal and organizational problems are the result of a little-known phenomenon called "self-deception". We deceive ourselves into thinking we're doing the right thing for the right reason, but people won't follow a leader whose motives are selfish. The tricky thing is, we don't know that our motivation is flawed. This audiobook explains what self-deception is, how people get trapped in it, how it undermines relationships and organizational achievement, and - most importantly - the surprising way to solve it.
