This book is by T. Edwards. This book does have some good ideas on how to get customers for your direct sales business. I will say it depends on the town you live in though as far as if you can truly follow the plan set forth in the book. For one thing the Rep mentions coffee shops and today local coffee shops are few & far between. Most places only have Starbucks and other chains and most of those chains will not let you leave literature behind. However, you can "accidentally" leave it behind but that's only one brochure versus the ten suggested. You cannot exactly leave ten brochures discreetly. I've also heard of reps setting up to "work" at a Starbucks with some brochures out hoping people would approach as they walked by. This could work as long as it really appears you're working so that is worth a try. Still for the price this book was on Amazon Kindle, I think it was still a good read and like I said it did give good ideas and shows you an idea on how to plan out brochure distribution.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
This book is really for anyone. It talks about the habits you need to have in order to be successful. While reading this book, I also used the workbook that is available for separate purchase. I personally bought both on my Kindle from Amazon. The books were very insightful. They had me delve into the things I was doing and really set my mind straight on what it was I needed to focus on in life in order to be successful. Some people wonder, "What is successful?" Really that is up to you. What do you need to do to feel successful in your own life? It's all about your perspective of yourself. Since trying to live by these habits set out in the book, I have felt more successful and my thinking has changed. Definitely a good read. There are several versions for different people also available at Amazon. The only other one I have experience with is the one for teenagers and it too was good. There is also a book called The 8th Habit but I haven't had the chance to read it yet. |
