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.

fantastic and easy to adopt for 2018

It gives a fantastic framework to build from for dominating a niche.
It was written a few years ago but only the technology is different. It's a very well rounded in its approach.

Who knew pigheaded determination was what we all needed?

Exact what I have been looking for in my business. I deeply enjoyed the actionable way this was written. This is a jammed pack book that should be standard reading for all sales people.

Wow!

As a person in sales I’m glad most people’s resistance to change will not allow them to adopt the strategies herein…makes it so much easier for the few that will. (Satire)

Excellent

I have been the owner of a company since 1975. I have had as many as 12 salesmen at a time. I wish I would have had this book then. It is filled with so much advice and good sense.
