Summary: This one is amazing!
Review: A MUST READ for anyone in sales, CRM or financial services. It's the kind of book that has you grabbing for your yellow highlighter within moments of picking it up. The resources the author brings us are simple and immediately effective...I put them to work right away.
Yes, it has a lot of info about putting computers to work for you but that doesn't mean you need a nerd certificate to use it. Most financial advisors hate being a slave to the computer. This makes your computer a slave to you.
It's full of WOW moments when all you can say is: I didn't know that!
A must read to make life easier!
Incredible sales tool.

Summary: An expensive book, with pluses and minuses
Review: I got some good ideas from the book, but I don't think they're worth either the $$ or the time it took to ferret them out. Now, I'm a life coach, not a financial advisor, so that may be part of the problem . . . BUT . . . Gregory refers readers to his tip-filled website and when you log on to it, there's no "there" there . . . no website, just the word that it will be coming along soon, and you can register to be kept up to date. He's also wedded to using the keyboard instead of a mouse, arguing that memorizing keyboard controls will cumulatively save you a lot of time. Again, maybe YES for financial advisors, but for a right-brained person, this is not helpful advice. So -- IMHO, the book is uneven. Browse at the library or a bookstore before buying.

Summary: A Treasure Chest
Review: I really couldn't believe my eyes when I first read this book. Page after page I found amzing new resources and terrific new ideas. I also discovered leads to find things I had been searching for and given up on. As I read through and explored Kip Gregory's suggestions, the words "Treasure Trove" and "Treasure Chest" kept coming to mind. Nuggets of great information never stop appearing! Anyone who works in the financial services industry will find special value here. In an industry that routinely spends thousands on marketing, often with disappointing results it's refreshing to see a marketing tool that provides value in the first chapter. I say, forget about spending thousands and investing your time in marketing workshops. I know you'll get a lot more value out of a few sawbucks spent on this treasure chest of practical tools. Let's face it. The computer and the internet are the most powerful marketing tools ever invented. This book shows you how to make them really work for you. Go ahead. Write me, feel free to SPAM me if I'm wrong.

Summary: The Web Site Is Up and Good
Review: I think the integrated website is worth it.
Kip's book is the first I have ever seen that marries book content with web links. In other words, if you see a section of interest, you don't have to type in ten lengthy web address to browse them. Instead, go to the book's web site and click through to the good stuff.
That's a lot simpler. It's about time the web is up site but at least it's worth the wait, well worth browsing and taking what you like most. It's in my favorites.
The book's web links (hundreds of them) are always there for me on the website. That's more than I get from the usual rah-rah, blah blah marketing books.
