Product Description
Praise for Book Yourself Solid

"Lead generation and conversion is the heart of any marketing enterprise, and Michael Port's ingenious and practical system is among the best I've seen. Read this book and transform your business!"
—Michael E. Gerber, founder and Chairman, E-Myth Worldwide, author of The E-Myth Revisited

"Do your homework! This is not a conceptual, theoretical look at how to succeed as a service professional. Instead, it's just what you need if you're stuck and you'd rather invest in your future (by doing the right kind of work) than complain about it later."
—Seth Godin, author of All Marketers Are Liars and Permission Marketing

"Going out on your own can be scary. But this book is a welcome antidote to that fear. It brims with savvy advice and nearly overflows with practical, hands-on exercises. Once you absorb the wisdom in these pages, you'll be ready, willing, and eager to fashion a more rewarding work life. Michael Port is the guy to call if you're tired of thinking small."
—Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind and Free Agent Nation

"If you're even slightly uncomfortable with the idea of networking, marketing, or selling, this is the book for you. Book Yourself Solid gives you everything you need to fill your business with ideal clients. Before you're even finished reading the book, you'll be inspired to take action!"
—Ivan R. Misner, PhD, founder and CEO, BNI, coauthor of Masters of Networking

"Wow! I never expected this book to be so good. I love how it focuses on getting your ideal clients-and more than you can imagine possible. An excellent, inspiring, practical guide to outrageous success!"
—Joe Vitale, author of There's a Customer Born Every Minute

5 out of 5 stars Tells How to Become a Magnet for Clients   August 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Even though I became an entrepreneur in 1996 by launching my company, and have read numerous books about marketing my services, Michael Port presented promotional ideas and strategies that helped me. Right away, I re-examined my niche and how I describe my services to prospective clients.

During one of my visits to a medical office as a patient, a nurse's assistant noticed that I was reading Book Yourself Solid. She asked me to describe what it was about. When I gave her a short summary, she asked next, "Why are you reading it? What is your line of work?" My answer flowed easily, using the pattern Michael proposed.

Too, I applaud the writing style--simple language, sprinkled occasionally with relevant, tasteful humor. Port illustrates his points skillfully.

An entrepreneurial friend had encouraged me to buy this book. I'm glad I followed his advice. I would welcome an opportunity to attend one of Michael Port's seminars, to hear additional marketing guidelines.

His sharpest suggestion about sales: Replace the ABC of "Always be closing" with the ABC of "Always be communicating."

1 out of 5 stars Book Yourself Solid   August 2, 2008
I found this book to be more on the "basic" side for experienced business people. However, I can see how it would be quite beneficial for someone that may not have years of experience and/or who is starting their career or own business endeavor. The chapters on "referral strategy" and "web strategy" are important since even experienced business people sometimes forget the value of each of these two avenues to business success. While one star is shown, I do believe it merits more than one star, however, I was unable to make that change during the edit stage of this review.


4 out of 5 stars Roll up your sleeves for some work   August 1, 2008
Rather than classify this tome as a book, I would name it a work book. Michael Port shows that building a business is hard work -- but all worth in if you are chasing a dream -- and this book offers no short cuts. I'm balancing this book with a hectic schedule but know in the end I will have a better career as a result. Recommended!



1 out of 5 stars Bad book - Great title.   July 10, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This I got suckered by the title. After the first few chapters - with NO real information - I gave up. I've run a business for 20 years, hoping to gain some tips to getting more clients. I wasted my money on this.
