Written in a personable and homespun style, YOU, INC. offers doses of humor and pithy knowledge to anyone who wants to thrive in the increasingly competitive business worldWhat veteran sales and marketing experts Harry and Christine Beckwith understand is that, to succeed in life, the most important thing you need to be able to sell is YOU—whether it's in a job interview, a social gathering, or during a business negotiation. The Beckwiths provide a treasure trove of insights and tips to help you present yourself credibly, confidently, and comfortably.
We sell throughout most of our lives, so why not do it well? Without being deceptive, we can make adjustments in our presentation, our appearance, and our story that create a good first impression and a strong motivation to help us. This production is an astute lesson on etiquette, communication, positioning, and promoting maximum openness to our requests, especially when making formal presentations to people in authority. From PowerPoint technique to necktie and business card selections, the authors present the rationales and the strategies for putting your best foot forward. Co-author Christine Beckwith's sections are reasonably effective; however, narrator Lisa DeSimone's overeagerness with presenting them is distracting. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
