Winning Clients in a Wired World: Seven Strategies for Growing Your Business Using Technology and the Web

Summary: Not bad, but may not be worth the $$.
Review: While this book is "directed primarily at financial services professionals", it can certainly benefit anyone working in a corporate environment who wants to be more efficient in her use of the PC since almost all the information presented is not specific to the financial services industry.

Most of the book is nothing more than tips to increase your productivity on the PC (using Internet and office applications). Because of that, I I feel that the title is a little misleading.

The strategies are mostly quite helpful, and the tips are generally easy to follow. However, I feel that some of them go into too much detail, while others lack enough detail. Rather uneven.

Also, I've accessed the author's tips sites (www.kipstips.com and www.winningclientsinawiredworld.com). As of writing this, the first site is not even there yet; the second is "coming soon", but please register first. Hardly the way to win clients in a wired world.

Overall, I believe that most readers will get something out of this book, although it certainly isn't one of the best out there. It's a good book to borrow, but not all that worth its high cost.

P.S. The back cover and the first few pages of the book is FILLED with praise for the book from different people. I'm still trying to figure out what I overlooked in the book...
