Format:Paperback
Here's abook that actually lives up to what's promised on the cover. It's full of commonsense ideas that every business could-and should-put into practice.
It's also very funny: a characteristic in short supply in most other business books.
As with most sound advice, you recognise it as such-and wonder why most company's aren't putting it into practice already. Geoff's book is full of sensible ideas which, unfortunately most organisations have failed to take on board. The resulting oxymoron called 'customer service' means that too many companies are turning away customers and prospects in droves. Geoff knows this, and if you read this book you'll begin to understand how you can avoid the mistakes others are making and start creating a 'customer friendly' company -all with some elementary steps and procedures.
Read this book to be amused, enlightened and entertained-but read it most of all because the future success of your company could depend on it.

Geoff has a wonderful style of writing whereby he makes reading the text very easy and he really makes you want to turn the page - a page turner in a business book - that must be a first.

Anyway, there is some excellent information in the book and while nothing is revolutionary or new - it is by applying a different approach to many of the things that we already know that a competitive advantage can be reached.

This book, in my opinion, is a must for anyone who either;
a) has a few hours to kill at an airport or on a plane
b) or anyone working in professional sales or looking to start a new enterprise.
If you are both of the above then you might just have found the perfect read......

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Burch is great at selecting apt anecdotes to support his ideas. Everything he writes about is common sense, yet we often overlook them or take them for granted. Not rocket science, but very entertaining! A good read, with a great outlook on life, people and business.
