Customer Reviews

Worth the price for the teleseminar tips alone
Top notch. As a marketing consultant to independent professionals and small service busineses, I found this book to be outstanding. For example, the book describes how a new trend for professionals and consultants who want to woo and win new clients is to offer teleclasses, also known as telephone seminars or teleseminars. The book explains that having heard you speak, people feel they know you personally, and are more confident about hiring you. The advantages are abundant. You don't have to be personally present to give a talk that reaches your target market, says Van Yoder. Online chats and teleconferences, using your own or others' telephone lines, can help you reach a lot of people eager to hear your message. The book is filled with great advice like this.

Practical, Must Have Advice for the Small Business
I have to agree with all the positive comments on this book. I've been in medical device consulting for over 10 years, and have tried some of the ideas in Yoder's book already (due to common sense or other consultants' / books' recommendations). But I found much more suggestions here, together w/ updated web-based ideas which I'm now working on employing. I also value his many real-world examples interspersed throughout the book. This is one of only a few books (and I have most) that I'll be rereading to assist in marketing my consulting services.

A unique and instructional business guide
Get Slightly Famous: Become A Celebrity In Your Field And Attract More Business With Less Effort by Steven Van Yoder is a unique and instructional business guide to becoming famous within the context of the business world and thereby attracting clientele and increasing revenues through sheer visibility.
