Seal the Deal demystifies the art and science of networking, marketing, and sales.  It contains a variety of useful information which can be easily implemented by both individuals working inside large organizations and those just starting their own business.    

The book is uniquely designed and offers readers a refreshing perspective on how to legitimately grow a professional services business.  Each chapter opens with a transcribed dialogue between a highly knowledgable and successful coach and several participants, thus offering readers a hard-to-find insider perspective.  The educational dialogue shares the author's words of wisdom, as well as engages the reader in the participant's trials, tribulations, and personal breakthroughs. These sections are then followed by key highlights, recommendations, worksheets, and homework.   

The book's unique format gives readers a variety of choices:  1) read as if they were actually participating in a 10-week course on the material; 2) skip the telecourse material and go straight to the highlights, worksheets, and homework; or 3) read sections randomly according to interest and relevence.  This freedom makes the book extremely approachable and useful to a broad spectrum of business leaders. Buy it.
