Praise for HOW CLIENTS BUY "A terrific resource for anyone looking to build a successful client service business. McMakin and Fletcher are spot on citing quality and trust as cornerstones." Lynne Doughtie, U.S. Chairman and CEO, KPMG " How Clients Buy provides essential advice to professionals who have to step up from delivering services to selling them." Ford Harding, author of Rain Making and Creating Rainmakers " Tom and Doug offer well grounded, practical advice on how to enhance business building, the most important skill any business, large or small, must tackle to grow and prosper.

Item was better than described in my opinion and it did come in a bubble mailer. The package came in a timely manner, and the seller was pretty communicative by sending email after payment asking for confirmation of the address and stating when they will most likely send my item during the week. Overall, great seller, would come again if give the chance to. If you have a chance to do business with them, please do! And thank you goodwill_colorado_springs for my MLP DVD!

  • New to DB? Buy this book and read it!

    I have enjoyed reading this book very much and have underlined and highlighted the ton out of it. I was disappointed that there was water damage to the book and it was far from a pristine "like new' book. However, the content has been so compelling that I immediately started reading, underlining and highlighting it. The only thing that has prevented me from completing reading it was a book review on another title I had due to my boss as one of my annual company goals. I finished that last night (1 Feb) and now I can get back to devouring this one.
