A must read!!.......2007-10-17
This book is an extremely factual account of what we all go through when deciding when and if it is time to turn your passion into a business. I related with many of the same issues that this writer did and found that knowing others go through the same things to be extemely helpful. I found myself sharing this book with others who are in similar situations. I related with the writer and recommend this book to anyone who loves to make jewelry; one who loves to share their gift to others where profit is secondary to the creativity. This book gives you guidelines about what you may encounter along the way.
Selling Handmade jewelry........2007-10-05
This was an easy read....I enjoyed the suggestions on marketing and creating your own "uniform" look w/ tags, packaging materials, mailers ...etc. I was hoping for a more detailed section that covered internet sales and ideas for successful e commerce.
This book covered more ideas for successful customer relations and general business ettiquete.
Vikki shared some helpful information. This is a good place to start..if you are just starting you jewelry business.
Great book. Excellent ideas.......2007-08-06
This is a gem of a book. It has a lot of great ideas on how to build up your company and get things moving. Being a graphic designer by training I know all about branding and creating an image. So that was the one of the first things that I did. But most of the other ideas were new to me and very useful. I have a large room in which my workshop is situated, but I hadn't really considered turning a portion of it into a gallery. But it's a great idea and I am now in the process of doing just that. The advice on getting into boutiques is also very good. I would say this little book is well worth the price and I recommend it highly to any aspiring jeweler. I would also say that the advice is probably good for other crafters and artisans.
Informative.......2007-07-21
This book was incredibly informative! Aside from Viki Laureau's firt-hand experience, the examples of other artists' portfolios, ideas, etc are very helpful. She did a great job of writing this book for the layman who might not have a strong background in business/economics. It's a nice step-by-step guide to get you on you feet.
Really useful.......2007-04-24
This book has heaps of useful information. I found the information very helpful when I was setting up my jewelry site and planning for my marketing strategy. Inspiring and well worth the money.
Book Description
A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
The first simple guide to understanding the real estate closing process
Closing and escrow are among the most importantand least understoodcomponents of a real estate transaction. The Complete Guide to Your Real Estate Closing takes the mystery out of the confusing, expensive process by giving real estate professionals, investors, and consumers a step-by-step explanation. In simple, everyday language, the book explains closing documents and paperwork, what to do when something goes wrong, mortgage options, how to save money on title insurance, problems that can occur on a title report,
and much more. With sample forms, work sheets, and more, this sophisticated but accessible book covers:
- Insider tips on how to save moneyfrom a closing professional
- Who does what: the real estate agent, lender, title company, closing officer, attorney
- State-specific information for all 50 states
Customer Reviews:
Could be better.......2006-03-22
Very good book; could have gone a little deeper into the mechanics of the closing process.
Practical, Real-World, Current Information.......2005-10-10
This book is an easy to read, step-by-step guide through that 'magical' period called 'Escrow.' Explanations are easy to understand yet thorough. I highly recommend this book.
Complete and Easy to Read........2005-01-11
Sandy Gadow's real estate closing book explained the part of the buying process which confuses most people, and where most of the costly mistakes can occur. I was able to understand the concepts and explanations which are provided, and felt confident enough to ask questions which I am sure saved me several hundreds of dollars. Before reading Sandy's book, I was intimidated by the professionals involved in a closing: for example, the attorney and closing agent, even the inspector involved. Knowing what questions to ask, I felt comfortable making lists of questions to ask, and which answers I needed. Although real estate laws vary state to state, this book does an excellent job of being all-inclusive for each state. Whether called "escrow", "closing" or "settlement", this book covers the essentials of a real estate deal.
In each chapter are "Tips" and "A Typical Misunderstanding" which lighten the reading and make the subject matter easy to follow along. The chapter on handling Tax-Deferred Exchanges was a welcome addition to the book. I was prompted to buy Sandy's book after watching her on CNN's show, "Open House."
I would recommend this book to anyone buying property, considering entering the escrow profession, or anyone interested in the investment aspect of real estate. I am now a real estate professional and am grateful for Sandy's book. I know the book helped me and I have recommended it to many of my friends and colleagues.
Good book, but...........2005-01-04
...it's the same book as her previous books - only the title has changed. If there were any minor editing done to the book, I didn't notice. If you've read or purchased one of her previous books don't waste your time or money.
Truth in Advertising.......2004-11-08
Gadow does an excellent job of providing a comprehensive view of a California Real Estate Closing. The subject matter is appropriate and well written. The illustrations, tables, charts and forms all useful. The only real problem with a volume like this is that all real estate is essentially LOCAL in nature.
Thus, many of Gadow's points and concepts are inapposite to other parts of the country. I found myself annotating my copy with local exceptions to Gadow's statements (I am a Real Estate Attorney in the Washington, DC metropolitan area). As with any volume with this much information there are certain errors that may have not been caught by the editors. For example, Gadow talks about obtaining multiple termite inspections. "Shopping for a clean termite inspection" and failing to disclose the known existence of termites is a patent violation of the Seller's duty to disclose known defects and could subject the homeseller to serious liability for any resulting damages incurred by the buyer.
Nevertheless, for the layman this book is an essential resource and I wish everyone of my clients would read it before coming to our office for their settlements.
Book Description
Every firm's sales force combines the distinctive personalities of its members with complex issues of size, pay structure, incentives, performance evaluation, and effective uses of new technology. And while underrepresented in most marketing texts, the success of the sales force is a major component in the overall success of most companies.
The Complete Guide to Accelerating Sales Force Performance develops an effective, innovative framework for evaluating and improving the performance of any sales force. This book identifies and describes the key factors for creating a fast-track, go-to-market strategy. It's loaded with proven ideas for improving such "success drivers" as:
Culture * sales force structure * hiring * sales manager selection * training * compensation * technology * sales territory design * goal setting * performance management.
Packed with valuable insights and real-life examples, this guide is an excellent source of practical ideas for sales and marketing managers in all industries.
Customer Reviews:
Great Sales Force Reference.......2007-01-04
This was the required text for my Sales Force Management MBA class, and I found it to be a very thorough and practical reference. I am almost certain I will refer back to it in the future.
Not Enough Stars for this Masterpiece!.......2005-08-07
Whewie! I had many reservations about buying this book. The previous reviews made me skeptical, especially when I looked at the price tag and acknowledged the fact that I was going to bleed to death reading a blah-blah boring has-been couple of spineless professors rant about their lame memoirs and anecdotes lazily collected by one of their pet clones.
To be precise, this book was written by two of the most influential consultants, professors and businessmen in the world. They worked with sales forces and represented companies of all sizes, in addition to being 'team-driven' by their own successful consultancy spanning thirty years.
In many instances, they gained from the output of academia and collaborated their research with students associated from the prestigious Northwestern's J.K. Kellogg Graduate School of Management.
This book has foundation, structure, conceptual analysis and excellent ideas for any student, manager-in-training or business executive who is trying to avoid the "art of selling" or "quick buck motivational" 'diaper-training series' collections (sold at newsstands everywhere).
There are chapters from other excellent contributors related to Internet Strategies, Market Strategy and Segmentation. I found the material to be factual, concise and thoughtful.
This is a rare book written about sales forces. Sales forces are the life-blood of ANY company. Your ability to communicate with people will increase your power, wealth and happiness. A sales force can easily become 'unruly beasts' because the sales force are people dealing with people. Great sales managers must understand CONCEPTS about how to FOCUS, CHANNEL and DISCIPLINE people without disrupting profitability...AND LOSING GREAT PEOPLE!!!
"The Complete Guide to Accelerating Sales Force Performance provides education the way a textbook does, but it also provides guidance. It advises, similar to a manager's manual, and it seeks to provide the sales manager with an understanding of the entire sales force system by presenting frameworks for sales force design and performance enhancement."
Buckle Up! This book contains "all muscle and no fat." It is a mental and physical exercise book that requires considerable attention. "The quality of the selling organization has a direct effect on a company's sales and profitability." Now, time for me to mold my sales force into terrific shape. :)
A Good Read!.......2004-06-10
To boost your sales group's performance, give your salespeople very specific assessments and instructions, as per authors Andris A. Zoltners, Prabhakant Sinha and Greggor A. Zoltners. The trouble here is that the instructions are not only detailed, they are highly technical. You have to see sales as a science to make the best use of the graphs, charts, lists, diagrams and formulas. If you can make your way through the academic writing, you'll find some useful hard data, such as statistical evidence that backs the need for precise sales performance assessments. Despite its lengthy retelling of some very basic sales principles, we recommend this manual to the audience its authors suggest, "sales managers, top managers, salespeople who want to advance professionally, divisional presidents and business owners" plus business school students. If you're going to be academic, you might as well learn something.

Customer Reviews:
Not a big fan.......2007-10-21
I bought 6 books about Pharm sales, this was my least favorite. I don't like the way it is written (format of the text)I did not find any information in this book that can support the high price.
Recommend to all Applicants.......2007-01-10
This book was very informative and also recommended by my wife's hiring company, Eli Lilly.
Like having your own interview consultant.......2006-03-02
Ms. Alexander provides a great source of help with her PharmRepSelect book and CDs. I read a couple of books on the subject and found the PharmRepSelect Interview Insight discs to be tremendously helpful. I combined several books in my mission of getting a job in this field. For under a hundred dollars, I feel that I got the best info available. It's like hiring an interview consultant; hours and hours of help. I listened to mock interviews and practiced my techniques. I learned how to phrase my answers more precisely and sound very professional, which was the key in doing well on my interviews. I recommend this unique package to everyone interviewing for a sales job. Five stars!
Gold!! Keeps you in the game! Got me my Job!! .......2006-02-23
PharmRepSelect landed me the job of my dreams. PharmRepSelect is written by an expert in the field that actually knows how to communicate information that will keep you from giving up! The real reason PharmRepSelect is different and better then the other books on the same subject is that it gives Encouragement. Out of the other four books I read about getting one of these jobs, it was only PharmRepselect book and Interview Insight CDs that made me feel the most confident and motivated to achieve my goal. None of the other books I read had this effect. In a job market that is crowded and frustrating with masses of people applying and interviewing, its very easy to give up. This kept me in the game. Of course this book is loaded with inside information, the dos and don'ts, but the big difference is the encouragement factor. If you give up on the interview process, you won't get the job. I landed my job offer because I did not give up. PharmRepSelect explained the mechanics of how these managers choose candidates and how to overcome these obstacles. I credit PharmRepSelect book, audio book and Interview Insight audio CD for landing me a job I thought I would never get! I was able to look, sound and act like the perfect candidate. Now I have the perfect job. This book and CDs are gold.
Not Worth the Money.......2006-02-22
This book was not what I expected at all. I thought the information was very general and there were far too many pages devoted to answering questions (where you fill in the blanks) and not enough real information provided by the author.
Book Description
Shooting & Selling Your Photos combines beautiful show-and-tell photography, straightforward, authoritative instruction, updated technological information and complete coverage on breaking into today's photography market.
The book is divided into three parts: "Shooting," "Building Your Image" and "Selling." By covering all three areas, Jim Zuckerman offers everything readers need to get serious about their photography. Zuckerman shows readers how to:
*pick powerful subjects
*decide between film and digital formats
*create dynamic portfolios in print and online
*use the Internet for marketing, self-promotion and photos sales
*understand the inner-workings of stock photo agencies
*get noticed with creative, professional submissions
Customer Reviews:
excellent book for all photographers!.......2007-07-30
Excellent book for Photographers!! As a new photographer, this is a great book. I found the information so helpful and truly easy to understand!
Not yet received the book........2007-05-27
It is almost a month today, I have not yet received the book.
Great Introduction.......2005-07-05
This is a great introduction to selling photography by one of the very best in the business. Jim Zuckerman is very diverse in his stock photography subject matter and that diversity shows through in the wide range of knowledge he shares in this book. The best coverage is on selling photography at art shows and advice on submitting article and calendar proposals to publishers. If you're specifically interested in stock agencies, I highly recommend Lee Frost's Photos That Sell (see my review on that book). Mr. Zuckerman's advice on stock libraries is a good introduction but Lee Frost devotes most of his book to the topic. The photography in the book is of course wonderful, but I would have liked to have seen the author share more information about which images were his best sellers, how many times each image has sold and where, and other details which Lee Frost shares in this book in many cases. However, this is very solid introduction to selling photography and I recommend it.
A little light.........2005-05-10
A little dissapointed in this title. Photo's are of average quality and the information provided is no where near as good as other titles on this subject. When you see photography like this its hard to get inspired about the text provided also.
Great photos used to illustrate good advice.......2005-03-12
I found this book very informative. I don't really think its negative on digital in fact he writes with a pretty even hand on film and digital. My favorite part is the that not only does he show some photos that have sold at stock agencies, he goes onto to explain why they sold, and to compare to them to a similiar photo and explain why one sold and the other was rejected. It offers a lot of insight into the mind of stock photo buyers as well as some inside tips on getting in on the business.

Customer Reviews:
helpful book.......2007-08-28
This book is really helpful for anyone thinking about selling their home. It has a wide variety of info even things I hadnt considered. I gave it 4 out of 5 because I was hoping for more lists and checklist type things inside but as far as being easy to understand, its great.
Wonderful and Helpful.......2006-07-15
This is a great book for basic help and advice, lots of good stuff inside.
Good Book with good information.......2006-03-14
I think this book gives a nice global picture of what it takes to sell your own home. The book description states there is a CD with forms. My book copy did not have one nor is CD refered to in the book but the appendix has plenty of forms and sample reports. One reviewer stated that there is no mention of newspaper ads but Chapter 5 begins right off with newspaper ads.
Overall, it is a good book with helpful information.
For the do-it-yourself home seller.......2006-01-19
Maybe you've watched "Designed to Sell" on HGTV and think your home will bring big bucks and an easy sale. This author covers the options for selling their house without a realtor.
The Complete Idiot's website describes the book as: "Whether readers are willing to pay a small commission for online help or a flat fee for an MLS listing, or they want to handle every step on their own, this guide will walk them through the process, providing tips on everything from signs and open houses to appraisals and inspections. Also includes a CD with sample contracts, boilerplate forms, checklists, and more."
We tried listing our home online (the freebie real estate sites) two years ago. I still get inquiries from those listings, but none were ever real people looking for a home. It did get us lots of calls from people wanting to sell us services related to selling a home.
Finally we sold the home through a realtor. Maybe if we'd had this book, our results without the realtor would have been more successful.
One thing they don't cover in the book is using newspaper ads. I'd recommend getting several books on this topic before attempting to sell your home yourself.
Average customer rating:
- Very informative and easy to read
- A great starting point.....
- Very, Very Useful Primer on Vacation Rentals
- Nice title, but way too basic info, too wordy (filler)
- Limited and biased

Book Description
Author and speaker Christine Hrib Karpinski takes readers through all the steps necessary to purchase and rent out a vacation home. This book contains practical, hands-on advice that shows the reader how to do it without property management companies, and keep 100 percent of the profits. It offers realistic strategies to create a situation in which renters pay the mortgage, while still allowing the owner several weeks a year in that little slice of paradise.
Customer Reviews:
Very informative and easy to read.......2007-09-11
For a person like me who is going to start in the Vacation Rental Business, this book was very helpful and informative. For someone who has experience in the business maybe will find it too elementary or too basic. For me it was a good start.
A great starting point............2007-08-28
I own 5 rental properties, 2 are vacation rentals. I bought this book with pretty high expectations. Well, even though I've been doing this for 15 years, Christine still had some new advice to share. I thought her formula was great for some areas, but in Colorado Ski country it just doesn't work.
I love how she does give a couple different points of view pertaining to financing your vacation home.
I would also preferred more depth, that a chapter on properties outside the US, and buy multiple properties. But as some reviewers have stated, it is an excellent primer.
I do think that her book on booking rentals, The Vacation Rental Organizer is a very useful organizer for the money. I intend to purchase one each year.
Very, Very Useful Primer on Vacation Rentals.......2007-08-01
I have to laugh at the previous two reviews, obviously written by the same person, an admitted student with a bone to pick with the author. Christine is the most well-known expert in the very small field of vacation rental consultants. She literally "wrote the book" to walk potential investors, vacationers, and home owners into successfully taking advantage of the blossoming vacation rental market.
This student disagrees with Christine's recommendations that owners not rent to those under 25 years old, then proceeds to show a perfect example of why owners shouldn't. He attempts to trash her reputation, rather than someone's rental property. I'm a rental owner and have the same rule, based on personal experience and the many experiences of friends and acquaintances. I imagine this student has stayed in 1 or 2 rentals and as a result is now an "expert"...much like the hotel commercials we all laugh at.
As the student says, some of the information in Christine's books is on the Internet, as is information from every book ever written. However, this new version of her "How to Rent Vacation Properties by Owner" contains everything anyone needs to know to look for, purchase, furnish, and rent a vacation home. Some of the information is common sense but much is 'insider information' from her many years as a seminar leader, training thousands of owners and being a 'by owner' property manager herself.
Take the previous reviews for what they are, feeble attempts to get even with someone that disagrees with him. If you want to learn about this industry and how to rent 'by owner' get this book and read it cover to cover and decide for yourself how valuable it really is.
Nice title, but way too basic info, too wordy (filler).......2007-07-31
I thought the title of the book was exactly what I was looking for. I had a property to rent and thought about making it a vacation rental. So, I bought the book thinking it would help point out some not-so-obvious issues about renting a vacation property. But after reading it, I was disappointed with the lack of any real advice or tips. There are a A LOT of words, but they seem to be mostly filler with only very limited and basic useful information. I would not recommend this book to anyone interested in running a real business.
Limited and biased.......2007-07-19
I purchased this book with the intention of gaining a working knowledge of vacation rentals to start a small vacation rental project in Baja California, in Mexico. This guide was not particularly helpful at all, providing only rudimentary information that was already somewhat obvious. It also relies on some dangerous business practices, fundamentally on speculating on the property that you are going to buy and trying to make significant profit that way. It seems to be very limited and unprofessional, almost hokey, in its view of vacation rentals.
I was personally offended as a student in that it explicitly recommends discriminating against students or anyone under 25 as customers.
Book Description
How often do you hear from loved ones that you should sell the great little gift baskets you put together for the holidays? Or maybe you can take a piece of scrap wood and turn it into a beautiful treasure-- something your next door neighbor would love to buy from you. "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Making Money with Your Hobby" is a great way to get all the information you need to turn your hobby into a money-making venture. This book also includes information on manufacturing, shipping costs, handling taxes and using the Internet as a sales tool.
Customer Reviews:
A great step-by-step guide!.......2003-09-03
This book is an amazing tool in turning your hobby into a profitable business. The author covers everything from 'the idea' to actual business laws, regulations, finances and workings.
As someone who has no business background or experience selling wholesale/retail, I found this book exeptional in its detail and content!
Highly recommended!
Customer Reviews:
5 stars? Are the other reviewers nuts?.......2006-11-12
I bought this book in part because its "attorney" author made it stand out from the pack. I hoped it would deal with potential legal pitfalls and issues related to FSBO. Instead, it's a very, very basic mishmash of tips crying out for a good developmental edit. The text is disorganized, annoyingly phrased, and light on content (it takes a large typeface and a lot of subheads to stretch it to 170 pp). If you've bought real estate, or read a major metropolitan newspaper, you don't need this book.
Sample sentence (p.45): "A well-done _For Sale_ sign will hopefully grab the attention of the passers-by."
Buy it, and here's what you'll learn: That "Balc" in a newspaper ad means "Balcony" (p.47). That (under the heading "The Right Sunday Newspaper") "there typically is one newspaper in your area that is considered _the_ place to advertise a home for sale" (p.61). That if a buyer presents you with an offer, you should say "I need to discuss this with my wife" (p.77). That the following are good words to use when writing an ad: "pristine, spacious, tree-studded, bright, flawless, and most-desirable" (p.41).
It's particularly annoying that all the "vocabulary words" throughout the text re in italics, even when they're words like "contact information," "realtor," or "stuff" (as in, "most people accumulate more _stuff_ than they will ever use," p.157). Often words are italicized for no reason, as in this mangled marketing tip: "...many people send _photo postcards_ of their family or children. These photo postcards tell a _thousand words_ updating friends and family visually with the picture."
excellent resource!!!.......2006-01-31
this book is awesome!!! it goes through every detail big and small, and the reasoning behind each and every one. this allows for each individual to make an informed decision on whether or not selling their own home is the right decision for them. it provides a realistic picture of what the process entails and of what lays ahead. this book is the equivalent of a honest and trusted friend which we all know is rare in the world of real estate....
The best tool to sell your house.......2004-10-03
When we decided to sell our own home, we thought it would be wise to get advice from an attorney. Well, we found it where we least expected: from a book written by Joseph DiBlasi, Attorney at Law. This book taught us to determine the value of our home, when to advertise, how to negotiate, and - last but not least - how to prepare the right contract. DiBlasi must be a very experienced real estate attorney. Go by his advice! It helped us tremendously.
Worth its Weight in Gold!.......2004-07-11
From start to finish, this book takes the reader by the hand and methodically explains each and every step that a person needs to know and do in order to sell a home without a broker. Jam-packed with practical, useful information and well-researched advice. Experienced brokers should even read this book!
