Great Book of Quotes and Quips

Cox - Quote Me On ThisQuote Me On This

 

The Wit and Wisdom of Coleman Cox

 

Coleman Cox

This book is 300 pages of one-liners, stories, quips, and wisdom.

"Coleman Cox is an intriguing character. He is both inspiring and humorous.

One can easily imagine him handing out sage advice with smirk on his face. I imagine him to be a great story-teller and a wonderful dinner guest.

You cannot collect great quotations for very long without finding some great one-liners by Coleman Cox.

His favorite topic is sales, but he also covers business in general and life in general. Although these words are from eight decades ago, they ring true today. I'm sure you'll find a great deal to enjoy here.

Open to any page right now and you'll find yourself flipping through several more. Try it! This book is a wonderful resource you'll come back to again and again.

And you'll be quoting Coleman Cox for a long time to come."

Zero Downtime Migration Strategies for Microsoft Networks

 

Karl W. Palachuk

and
Manuel L. Palachuk

Includes 200+ page checklists for SBS 2003 and SBS 2008 Migrations!

ZDTM (Zero Downtime Migrations) Are Not Easy -- But They Are Manageable

ZDTMs require only a few key skills.

First, you need to be a good project manager. For SMB projects, this is a skill you can learn very quickly.

Second, you need a very thorough and complete checklist. You need to be able to manage the project while one of your technicians executes the project.

Third, you need a process that is repeatable and profitable. That means staying inside the scope of work.

It also means you have to quote the job properly!

The Network Migration Workbook gives you everything you need.

Perfect Profitable ProjectsPerfect, Profitable Projects


with Karl W. Palachuk
and Matt Makowicz

 

Make every project a successful and profitable project!

Includes all the PowerPoint slides, plus additional handouts.

Disc One: Running Perfect Profitable Projects

Disc Two: Selling Perfect Profitable Projects

Growing your business is fun -- but it's also difficult. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining profitability. That's particularly true with projects.

One- and Two-person shops have enough challenges with projects. As you grow, you have three more:

First, the sales people have to be in sync with the tech team. You need to make sure you're selling the right services and the right projects. That means you need a sales process. We'll show you how to get started.

Second, your sales people need to manage the project handoff to the tech team. All the promises need to be written down, measured, and delivered. Once again, a great process guarantees a perfect project!

Third, tech team members need to be able to work together without creating rework or dropping anything. And again, you're back to having the right process.

This is NOT just another seminar. You'll walk away with proven processes and procedures to make your company more profitable as you grow!

Now, in this special bundle, you get two audio CDs, plus a third CD with all of the slides and handouts.
