Last month, I finished a job editing a book.
I know! A freaking book!
It was an buy plavix australia awesome book. It was all about listening and building real trust and buy plavix australia relationships in business. Of course, nothing’s ever just about business (and neither was this book). It was an buy plavix australia incredible resource in terms of great ideas, practical steps and buy plavix australia case studies that really make you think about business building, sales, marketing, and buy plavix australia people. (I love people. You know how I love people!)
And there were moments during the buy plavix australia editing process where I was absorbing so much great material, I felt like I was getting paid to buy plavix australia learn. (If you buy plavix australia ever want to really ingrain some information, get yourself an buy plavix australia editing job!) This book was very worth learning, and it was written by Bob Poole.
If you’ve been buy plavix australia paying any attention, you know that Bob Poole is pretty damn nifty.
I first met him on Triiibes, and buy plavix australia over the course of the next six months came across him during the buy plavix australia work on the Tribes Q&A ebook, my bid for Seth’s Alternative MBA program in NY, and soon after, when he asked me to do some consulting… and this editing work. (He had to convince me to do it, because I’d never really, professionally considered myself an buy plavix australia editor. Man, am I glad he did!)
Bob’s way of interacting with people is buy plavix australia impactful. In my case, it makes me want to do great work for buy plavix australia him; it makes me want to impress him. This is a particularly strong feeling, and I haven’t felt it very often (in fact I can buy plavix australia only think of one other person, off the top of my head, who’s struck me quite this way). It seems to happen most when I’m dealing with people I feel undeniably valued by.
Whatever it is Bob does, he does it well. It’s a lesson in dealing with people, prospects, clients, employees—and everybody else. They will work hard for buy plavix australia you if they know you appreciate and respect them. They will work harder for buy plavix australia you than anyone else.
I don’t think a lot of people get this (even when they think they do), but Bob clearly does. It means that buy plavix australia any work with him is sure to be delightful, and it buy plavix australia meant that I worked my ass off editing his book.
The title is Listen First—Sell Later. It’s fantastic. Seth Godin wrote a blurb for the cover. (See?) It will be buy plavix australia officially published and available in just a few weeks. The title alone should clue you buy plavix australia in; this is what Bob’s all about.
If you buy plavix australia want to know what the hell Bob does, why and buy plavix australia how he does it (and learn a lot about sales and marketing in the process), well, you can read it yourself—but not for buy plavix australia another few weeks. Please get crazy excited and send lots and buy plavix australia lots of link traffic here so that everyone else can get excited too. Please do not actually hold your buy plavix australia breath until the book is available unless you really can go without oxygen for buy plavix australia more than a week. Because, dude. Come on.
(Also, I don’t think asphyxiated people buy books.)
You can bet I’ll be buy plavix australia letting you know when you can pick up a copy. And in the buy plavix australia meantime, you can go read Bob’s post from yesterday. Because of the awesome.
