Title: Recommended book for 2015
Post by: Hilton on December 24, 2014, 09:50:07 am
If you are looking for a little bit of inspiration in 2015 buy yourself this little book;

Start with Why by Simon Sinek

Excellent read and a 'proper' business book that will really get you thinking and looking at your business and customers in a new way.

After reading some of the posts on here regarding xmas bookings some of you could do with a change of attitude  :D

For then incredibly lazy people I will read it and post any good bits :D

Price
For the seller, selling based on price is like heroin. The short-term gain is fantastic, but the more you do it, the harder it becomes to kick the habit. Once buyers get used to paying a lower-than-average price for a product or service, it is very hard to get them to pay more.


The problem with acquiring customers with Groupon????

Send it today and I will treat it as my Birthday present.

Thanks.

So anyone got it and read it yet?

Was it another marketing/(business) book that regurgitates all the other marketing advice written in every other marketing book ever marketed?

Everyone who asked got a copy....

Asking for a copy was the easy bit.... Actually reading it is the hard part.

This book might positively change someones business, how many people do you think would have asked for a copy if you had asked them to pay 99p for it?

Anything given free has no value, the fact that you offered to give it away diminishes it's persevere value.

Ps: just for the smart Alex who will say a childs love is given free and is priceless.... We are not talking about business concepts

Yes I've got it and read it that's why I recommended it, admittedly I bought it from a proper book shop though and not some back street knock off. ;D

Its a decent book although articulating the Why may prove difficult for some.  ;)
