Presented largely as a list without much structure or research or supporting stories.

[Patric Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

While it has some good tips, it wasn't what I was looking for and some of the recommendations appear dated. I was looking for a book about managing existing accounts to help me understand it. This book drifts into sales hunting, which to me, is a very different skill.

There is always something to learn from any information consumed - and here are a couple gems in the book.

Nice book about improving workflow, and creative ways for contacting people. Also interesting ideas on building value and effectively contacting business prospects.
