News: What's Coming Up
We're always looking for ways to make it easier for you to access our books, recognizing that times are difficult. After all, if you are a writer, like I am, the really important part is that people can read and benefit, so we are looking at different ways to reduce customer costs. Here's what we're looking at: We are in the early planning stages of writing and releasing FREE books. I don't mean lame, fake books, but real free books that are also published in print, too. How is this possible? There's a newer model for book distribution called "ad-supported e-books" where readers pay nothing, but are shown some relevant, high quality ads within the book itself. Not intrusive or nasty, mind you, but just a few in each book. We're excited about the possibilities of this model, and we hope to have a number of NEW titles coming out over the next 3-4 months. Stay tuned.
Finally, we want to hear from you, because we're lonely, just sitting and writing, so we'll be looking at setting up an interactive "place" where you can ask questions, review our books and products, and talk about various topics we write about in depth. And, of course, interact with me about all these things, because...well, like I said, things get lonely. Again, stay tuned. It's hard to get a community of this sort active, so it probably won't be an incredibly active forum, but it will be there for you to use. Coming soon.
OOPS. Last minute addition: Also coming soon is a complete package to allow trainers to deliver our Defusing Hostile Customers Seminar internally. Contains extensive leader's manual, Powerpoint slides, needs assessment procedure, In-class participant work package and more. And, it will be reasonably priced. Our first release will be the half-day seminar tailored to government. You know, stay tuned.
Finally, here's a list of our all-free websites on various topics. Come on. Visit. You know you want to improve your communication, conflict, performance appraisal, interviewing, customer service....skills.
