  Ready Fire Aim May 4, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The main point I get from Masterson's book is marking your product. I know it simple but how many small business owners do all the other THINGS but market their products. Masterson beats the marking concept home! If you market and sale your products you will be successful. A must read before you start your business----If you have started; read the book fast. This book is about working smarter and making money and not losing your butt and working harder.
  A Must Read for Anyone Learning How To Adapt to Today's Internet Revolution April 18, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Hi, my name is C. Maria Gudelis and this book is a must read to help any entrepreneur or future entrepreneur make money with less effort, capital investment and then grow your business. It changed my whole outlook on how I launch products, create companies and then grow them...

The book deals with some solid fundamentals necessary to start and grow a viable business. The job is defined as the what, the where and the whom? Some important business development stages are to sell, improve as a result of sales, organize and push.
I recognize the "improve" part of the process because initial sales usually generate product critiques by customers which should lead to product customizations/enhancements for increased sales. Front-end selling refers to new customers; whereas, back end sales refer to repeat selling of existing customers.
Both types of selling are needed for building a business. The old customers support the basic cash flow; whereas, the new customers help to grow the business so that new employees can be hired and new facilities built.
Next, the operator needs to identify people who sell best or manage best. There are several types of buying. These are impulse buyers, the "feel good" buyer and customers who have surplus money in their hands. i.e. people with large year end raises or bonuses
This book would be a worthy purchase for anyone contemplating the purchase or commencement of a new business venture. I recognize some of the methods described by the author from my own personal experience.
  What a waste of paper. April 10, 2008 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This could have easily been just a 10 to 20 page report. If that long.
I never understand why supposedly successful people have to write books that spend so much time plugging themselves, their businesses and friends. If the information was that great people would gladly contact people or businesses on a resource page.
  A one-stop bible for the entrepreneur April 8, 2008 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well, the Great Simplifier has done it again. Michael Masterson has crammed into a single volume just about every rule and procedure anyone going into business -- or hoping to expand his or her business -- could expect to find in an entire library. What is especially useful is that the principles are laid out so clearly and so logically. Here is a book that not only gets the juices flowing; it's a book that leads the reader, fearlessly and confidently, through the maze of problems and uncertainties that otherwise would have a would-be business owner wondering, "What should I do next?" Masterson says, "This is what you should do next" ... and invariably, he's right on-target.
