Rating: Summary: Good advice at an excellent price Review: I liked the presentation; bite size advice - I read it on the run. Some of the ideas seem obvious but that's the point- they're so obvious I had forgotten them. Refreshing simple and to the point covering the whole spectrum of self promotion. With a bonus; references for further reading and actually resources for getting the job done. I wish I had written it!

Rating: Summary: Amazingly Helpful Review: I went to Camp CEO in Prescott, AZ during my summer of 2004. At the time I was between my freshmen and sophomore year. Raleigh Pinskey was one of the dozen counselors at Camp CEO. She gave each camper a copy of this book. Being able to meet her and get advice from her certanily helped me out alot. Most of what is in her book is what she taught us throughout that week. It was an amazing experience.
Rating: Summary: Good and bad Review: There are good and bad suggestions in here, but perhaps that is a strength, as it will get your mind working. If one good idea comes of a quick reading, then the book has paid for itself, no problem. I would like to say I was put off by the authors left wing ranting and felt it was out of place. In fact, I pretty much lost respect for her and it hurt my opinion of the rest of the book. I guess if you're a leftie, you'd probably be more inclined to feel she's a market wiz, and won't mind her silly attacks on the right. In either case, when it comes to business, ideas are ideas, so a quick scan of this book may lead to a good idea, and the cost is low enough to justify buying it.
Rating: Summary: Let's Make That 102 Ways Ms. Pinskey! Review: Here's number 102 for you Ms. Pinskey! When writing a non-political book, never, ever, ever include expressions of disdain from one political party against another - ever! It could cost you book sales because its bound to offend half the readers! I'm a marketing and sales professional specializing in how to attract, hold and multiply ideal clients. My staff and I are preparing to travel around California this fall to talk to thousands of women. We research hundreds of books and websites and select only the best to recommend to our audiences. After reading 16 chapters, I counted this one as a worthy of referral - that is until I got to Chapter 17, "Bumper Stickers". She lists 14 of the supposed "best-sellers" (would that be from the New York Times??) and includes three worn out tirades that left-Liberals typically use to smear right-Conservatives: 1. "Guns don't kill, people do. . .HELLO! They kill with guns." 2. "Ignorance, bigotry and hatred should not be family values!" 3. "Friends don't let friends vote Republican" There are no right-against-left bumper sticker sneers on that list, which of course would be equally out of place in a how-to-get-sales book. Now if Ms. Pinskey can show me where to get this "best selling bumper sticker" list to confirm its authenticity for myself, not only would I recommend her book, I would hand out free copies! Such a deal, Raleigh?
