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.

Most beneficial management and sales book I've ever read

I have now read about a dozen management and sales books in the past three months and this is by far the most informative and practical. I am seeing immediate improvements in several aspects of my management abilities.

The Best Book for any Salesperson!

I'm a Realtor and have read many real estate books, along with self development books. This is the best, most rounded book I've read and would recommend this to anyone who does anything in sales. Heck this is my longest review usually just click on the stars.
