How to use the media that is available today to tell your story and make yourself a recognised industry expert.I stumble into this about four years ago with my first TV interview as a "home security expert" unfortunately I didn't know what I had done.For a short time my sales went through the roof. But, not knowing what I had done the hype disappeared and sales went back down.I found this book informative, entertaining and easy to read. And for though's of you that think this is yet another sales tool from a PR/ marketing company, your right. But, look at how they do it. This book is also a great lesson in itself.Well worth the read.Darren Teale

An excellent book on bringing the elements of a good story into your branding/marketing message. I see many people selling products in the area of marketing who really seem to get this. In most other areas that I'm interested... I don't see anyone using these methods... or at least not using them well. This book may very well be the slight edge you need to dominate your industry...

Liked the stories a lot, which makes sense. A little long in the tooth in some areas. Seemed like just filling pages. All in all, a fun read.

Nick Nanton does such a great job explaining how you can use storytelling in your positioning and marketing. I recommend the book to small and large business owners that are looking to create their platform and build their businesses.Adam Weber[...]
