Publisher's summary

There are countless books, seminars, and consultants that offer the secrets to everlasting business success. After heeding their advice, perhaps you manage your time more efficiently, write a compelling pitch letter, or close a few more deals. But after a week or a month, you revert to your old bad habits and mediocre performance, until the next hot new program comes along. The only lasting way to enhance your productivity and growth is to focus on a handful of basic concepts and repeat them week after week - and teach your staff to do the same.

This audiobook explains how to tune up virtually every area of your business systematically, with just a little disciplined focus. Spend an hour per week on each "impact area" of your business, and you will be astonished at how much you can accomplish.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

One of the best business books I have ever read

I've read dozens of sales, marketing, management and leadership books. Many of them have a lot of the same general material. This is one of the few that really breaks down HOW to accomplish each objective outlined. I plan to use this as a workbook and reference it often.

Awesome book

I don't understand why this book didn't get 5 stars from all the readers! This is a book that takes you from a-z in selling anything. It offers proven processes to get the clients you want. Chet was a master of a lot of different areas of his life. And it's a shame he's gone. If the techniques in this book are used, the book is worth the time and financial resources many times over. If you don't implement, its not Chet's fault, it's yours. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on the best sales training in the nation for my company. This book goes over the techniques we've learned and a lot more.
