Official "Secret" Teacher Delivers The Key

By now, I'm sure you are familiar with the worldwide phenomenon of the book and DVD movie The Secret. Thanks to its release, the Law of Attraction has become part of our mainstream culture.

And while many people are just now learning about the Law of Attraction, it is neither a new concept nor a recent discovery. For more than 30 years Jack Canfield has been a principle leader in teaching the Law of Attraction. His personal success is certainly a testament to its power.

Now, Jack offers you a lifetime of wisdom in his latest book, The KEY to Living the Law of Attraction: A Simple Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams.

Rain Making: Attract New Clients—No Matter What Your Field

Ford Harding has updated and expanded his 1994 classic, Rain Making: The Professional's Guide to Attracting New Clients. If you were to buy one book on developing business, this would be it.

In four parts, it describes how to build a reputation and meet people; how to turn the people you meet into a referral network to generate leads; how to convert those leads into new business; and, how to develop a sales strategy.

The section on networking is most valuable to BNI readers. Harding starts by giving the basics on how networking is done. Then he applies that logic to formal networking groups, associations, and internal networks within one company. Next he shows how to network with two of the more challenging types of people: senior executives and connectors. Finally, he gives a detailed description of networks focused on specific areas of business work. The book even mentions BNI on page 116!

The third part of the book describes sales techniques to turn leads into new clients. Several chapters are devoted to face-to-face selling skills. Others provide guidelines on team selling, proposal writing, quoting fees, and other issues we all must address when selling.

This book is deeper than the first edition. It works as a comprehensive introduction to selling and also as a reference book to refer to time and again over the years.
