I am a Chartered Accountant by profession but have worked in industry for over 30 years.

I spent 13 years at Rank Xerox, during which time I held a number of posts including that of Customer Liaison Manager, Payroll Manager, Product Manager, Marketing Manager, National Sales Manager, Systems Business Division General Manager and finally the International Director of the Systems Business with a turnover in excess of $750 million with over 4,000 personnel covering 32 countries.

"Retiring" from the not so glamorous world travel, I developed an artificial intelligence software joint venture with Rank Xerox before setting up my own business consultancy.

Harvard Business School states that it is 7 (yes SEVEN) times more costly to gain a new customer than to book incremental business from an existing satisfied customer. So why wouldn't you teach everyone in the company to value your customers and gain that business? Is it worth the effort of teaching everyone about selling techniques and how to strengthen the relationship with your customers? Is it worth spending JUST ONE HOUR reading this book?

YOU BET IT IS!
