Fabulous!.......2007-04-26

I had John as my Info Sec professor for two classes. His insight in class has given me such a passion for InfoSec! I undoubtedly believe his book will do the same! If you can hear him lecture it will only drive your passion even more for the need for and drive towards info security! Anyone who is truly in need of the 'ah-ha' effect should buy this book!

Proven Testimonial.......2003-02-02

How to Make Hot Cold Calls changed my life. As a sales manager with a very large financial institution, I was enlightened by the concepts found within Steven Schwartz's book. Never before had I been given the "how to" of this critical component of the sales process. I was so inspired, that I coordinated a seven-week pilot with 10 front-line sales staff within my organization. Here are some of the startling results from our informal process: a 73% average increase in our ability to get through to prospects over the telephone, and an 87% average increase in our ability to get the appointment or sale.
Believe me, this is a very reliable indicator of how intuitive Hot to Make Hot Cold Calls can be to a typical sales person today. Some of the behavioural changes from the team were immediate and permanent. Even more exciting was how my salespeople could overlay Steven's techniques during their face-to-face sales appointments. I strongly recommend the use of this book, the website, and the audio program.

A Must-Read Book.......2002-01-14

With "How To Make Hot Calls", Steven J. Schwartz has done the near-impossible. He has taken the third most stress-provoking life event (behind public speaking and diapering an infant) and transformed it into one of the most powerful assets I have in my business life.

When I was referred to Schwartz's book, I was concerned that I'd be cluttering my bookshelf with another facile, indulgent self-help guide from a slick motivational speaker with limited business experience and a juvenile sense of humor.

This book is different. Unlike other books of this type, Schwartz uses an engaging combination of anecdotes, real-life business examples and highly effective exercises to convey his concepts. He speaks to the reader in plain language and provides many opportunities to reinforce the skills being taught.

Schwartz's ideas are simple, infectious and have resulted in my being much more effective and at ease in reaching my clients and managing my relationships with them. This book would be invaluable to anyone who is in consultative sales, marketing or professional services.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone who, like me, was intimidated by the prospect of calling new business contacts. Without meaning to sound hyperbolic, this could be the best investment you'll ever make in a skill you'll use for the rest of your working life.

Book Description

Increasingly ageing populations and a slowing rate of growth in the macroeconomy are forcing advanced countries to reconsider their social security programmes. The need for detailed examination of the possible reforms and initiatives has never been greater.
This book brings together internationally-renowned scholars to evaluate the effect of recent social security reforms in advanced countries (pensions in particular) and to suggest policy reforms for the future.
Including detailed studies of countries including Australia, Germany, Japan, Scandinavia, the UK and the USA, this book will be of essential interest to economists and policy-makers working in pension financing reform, and public economics more generally.

Book Description

This book analyses comprehensively the experiences from different parts of the world on how specific water development projects have influenced regional development so that positive and negative lessons can be learnt and processes can be improved. By synthesizing these experiences and learning from these findings, it should be possible to plan, design, implement, and operate future water projects better, so that they can contribute more to regional income distribution, poverty alleviation and environmental protection, than what have been witnessed in the past. It is also hoped that the facts, figures and analyses contained in the case studies of this book will encourage all parties to discuss objectively and constructively how best water development projects can be used in developing countries to accelerate regional development, contribute directly poverty alleviation and improve the quality of life of people in the regions concerned. Case studies are analyzed on water resources development in cities, countries and river basins in several parts of the world. Being one of the first volumes on the subject, the book will interest development experts, policy-makers, environmentalists and researchers and students.
