I've followed Kip's work for 10 years, and sought him out to teach entrepreneurs his methods when I ran training programs for the National Women's Business Center. He's a singular talent.

Books and consultants that teach you how to use a single social media tool can only take you so far. Kip teaches you "a higher level of theory" in using technology in personal services marketing. Years before tools like twitter made social media all the rage, Kip was showing self-employed people how shrewd deployment of technological savvy could bowl over potential clients. He still has no equal.

Learn the tools, yes, but learn how Kip thinks about them if you want to master the 24/7 networked space that is social media.

This book is terrific! Easy to read and packed with concrete, practical advice. I work in the non-profit sector and half expected that "Winning Clients" would not apply to me -- but it really does. The author's tips are practical, sensible, and applicable to virtually any situation in which you need to find clients/customers or funding/sponsors. He's also great at de-mystifying the "wired world" in a way that really helps you make the most out of technology. ...Who COULDN'T benefit from learning how to "work smarter, not harder"??

A great book that can be picked up and read for 10 minutes, 1/2 hr, or more depending on the amount of time available. Pick the chapter from the Contents and go. I like the TIPS and the Web Links. Working more efficiently in this wired world is what its all about and this book gives you a lot of Great Ideas. The communication chapter was the best part of the book.

For anyone actively involved in large account management, you will find this book very valuable--whether or not your company uses any sort of CRM type program. One key element with account management is change of personnel. With such changes, we lose institutional knowledge and have to constantly replicate this effort. Mr. Gregory provides a format to help eliminate this problem with his knowledge journal and provides, from his website, the format to download in Word.

If everyone learned how to use their pc's just a bit better everyday, performance across the board would likely increase as you would be more productive at work and "not working" on your pc. Mr. Gregory provides many examples of how to save time and become more productive in your job.

A good read for any person that deals with any sort of sales job or needs CRM or manages clients. Many useful tips, some you may already know, but lots are consolidated here in an easy to follow format.

A MUST READ for anyone in sales, CRM or financial services. It's the kind of book that has you grabbing for your yellow highlighter within moments of picking it up. The resources the author brings us are simple and immediately effective...I put them to work right away.
Yes, it has a lot of info about putting computers to work for you but that doesn't mean you need a nerd certificate to use it. Most financial advisors hate being a slave to the computer. This makes your computer a slave to you.
It's full of WOW moments when all you can say is: I didn't know that!
A must read to make life easier!
Incredible sales tool.

This is a must have resource for financial advisors and related professionals. Learn how to fully and effectively utilize the software and technology you already own to become a more efficient and profitable practitioner.

Helpful tips and shortcuts abound, a very useful application handbook for using Blackberry and other common devices.

Great book, well written filled with many great ideas to network, prospect and cultivate clients.
I'd recommend this book to anyone that is in sales and marketing. I was especially intrigued by chapter 3... Work the Web for All It's Worth.

I found Kip's book to be a great source of ideas on using technology more efficiently in the advisory business. I consider myself to be an "early adopter" and a "power user" of most technology. I found great ideas in this book and started using them immediately! Highly recommended!
