Why you should read How to Acquire Clients
When it comes to the consulting business, Alan Weiss has been there, done that and probably consulted for the T-shirt company that sold you the T-shirt. So what does a consultant do when he’s mastered the consulting business? Why, he becomes a consultant to consultants of course. Weiss has perfected his craft. His book takes you into the buyer’s office, a rarified atmosphere where being too anxious to please can cost you business fast. Weiss has an instinctive understanding of the relationship between prospect and consultant, and an uncanny ability to communicate it. He makes you feel empowered to strike out and start your own seven-figure consultancy - except you’d be competing against the likes of Alan Weiss. getAbstract.com strongly recommends his book to both veteran consultants and neophytes
