A great motivator! 11 Dec 2002

By MR ROBERT H JONES

Format:Paperback

As a newly qualified consultant my business is up and running and I don't need yet another book on how to get started and do my tax returns correctly. However, marketing techniques can always be improved hence Foster's book.

Packed with useful tips and fresh ideas this easy to read book offers all that any professional could possibly need to succeed in business. Foster's straight to the point attitude really hits home and a few humorous anecdotes help to give a more relaxed approach.

Foster's Ladder of Goodwill is particularly useful at targeting potential customers and keeping them! A simple idea but it has really helped me departmentalise my client base.

Whatever level you are currently at in business if you are looking to improve customer relations and market yourself more effectively this is the book for you.

I read this book in a couple of hours and I'm still buzzing! A great motivator.

A Must-Have for Freelancers, Consultants, Small Biz... 23 Oct 2002

By Angela Mitchell

Format:Paperback

I was forwarded this book from a friend in London who thought it might be helpful, and was certainly extremely impressed. This is one of those books that truly ought to appear on every freelance, consultant, or small business professional's bookshelf. The book actually offers practical, hands-on advice for consultants who are starting anew, as well as addressing those with a bit more experience.

The author offers a wealth of tips and tricks, answers almost any conceivable question on starting a consultancy, and also talks with intelligence and humor about such tasks as increasing sales, getting and keeping customers, staying motivated, and achieving success.

As an independent consultant and freelancer myself, I'd certainly call this a must-have. I'd absolutely recommend this book highly to anyone seeking to strike out and find success on their own terms. (Note: I especially liked Foster's "10 Commandments of Commitment" -- if only everyone would obey them!)

Impressive and well worth a purchase.

Won first business the same day! 14 Oct 2002

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

A really excellent guide to the practicalities of starting or growing a consultancy. Easy to read with practical ideas that are straight forward to implement and will get you started quickly. The same day that it was delivered to me I won my first commission - draw your own conclusions! The tip to have a highlighter as you read it is particularly useful.
