Here's what people are saying….
I
received my copy of your book yesterday and read most of it last night!
There are lime green flags sticking out all over the place!
I have been in sales for over 20 years, have been trained by the
best of companies (Procter & Gamble) and I still picked up some
terrifically fun and innovative ideas…so if anyone says they can’t
find new ideas in this book – they obviously have NOT read it! Thanks
for the great book!!!

I have been in the
public relations industry for 10 years and consider
myself an expert at both establishing and building relationships. I
bought the book 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door because I was
familiar with Kathleen and her background. I have recommended the book
to every sales person I know including my husband who owns and operates
a point of sale dealership. The ideas in the book are so corny but that
is the beauty behind the book - its simplicity and trust me the ideas
work. I suggested an idea from # 34 to a client and they are now
back in business.

Industries are
constantly looking for new ideas and resources to attract and retain
business. As a Vice President, I have a great interest in the
development and growth of our credit union. In fact I was so
impressed with the new book entitled 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door that we ordered a copy for each of our branch managers.
The branch manager’s response was overwhelming. They were very
complimentary to the context of the book and excited to receive such a
vast resource of marketing ideas. We would recommend purchasing
the book plus. You would truly benefit from such an investment.

I thought I knew everything there was to know about developing new

assist me everyday!

My copy of 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door has a home on the left corner of my office
desk. Not only is this book entertaining and informative, but it
is a great conversation piece for discussing strategies for stimulating
sales. Recently, one of my managers called and voiced that he had
run into a customer that had an unpleasant experience with us years
ago!
For that reason, this
customer had no intention of talking to us or wanting to do business
with us now. I advised the manager to write a personal note
explaining we are an entirely different company today, much larger than
we were 10 years ago and with different leaders at the helm. In
addition, I told him about the great foot tip and explained
how he could send the foot with a note and simply explain how we would
love another chance to get our "foot in the door.
That day I went to a
craft store and bought a dozen wooden feet. I have painted them
flesh-colored with polished nails. They are good to go for the
next opportunity for this great idea.
Another manager stopped by and asked if he could peruse the contents of
the book. Certainly, I replied. After
minutes he exclaimed, This is fantastic! How do I get one of
these? He wrote down the web site and called me a few days
later stating, I got my book and I am signed up for the weekly
foot in the door tips! I can't wait to start using these with my
sales representatives.
This book is full of practical, heart-warming, attention-getting ideas
to create an opportunity to WOW your customer and show them that you are
different from all the rest. This is a golden nugget now in
our sales library. I have sales reps buying screwdrivers,
lifesavers, flat tires, thyme, wooden feet...you've got to own your own
copy to see how your can put all of these and more to great use for
better sales and increased profitability!

I
was pleasantly surprised reading 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the
Door. It had some
insightful ideas we will definitely be using in our business.
I think many companies think they have to spend a lot of money on
marketing where this booked enforces that it's really the little things
that "get your foot in the door.
I was so impressed that I am requiring my sales staff to read it
and we are getting together to discuss how we can implement some of
these ideas into our marketing campaigns.
Great job!

I work in client
services for a technology company and I have recently taken on
responsibilities as an account manager.
I learned two important sales concepts that are excellent
practices for customer service as well: follow up and real estate.
The idea of follow up for me had always meant nagging someone. During
the seminar, I learned differently. It's really thoughtful
consideration to call someone back. If I were to omit this step, I could
make the mistake of discounting a person's interest which is much worse
than potentially nagging someone.
As for real
estate, I hadn't heard of it before, but now I know the importance
of that term. It has opened up my thoughts to sending out collateral
that perhaps I wasn't sure would be worth my time because of small
possibility of response. Now I know that repetitive contact earns real
estate in clients' minds, which is incredibly invaluable in forming long
lasting relationships with them.”
Sincerely,
Stephani Nichols
The
action title sets the pace and keeps its promise by encouraging
creativity AND fun while we make a living. Every business sells and
every business can benefit from your no nonsense but a whole lot of
creative-sense approach.”

I thought the book
was so good, I bought three more to give to my clients for Christmas.
Who couldn't get at least one good idea from your book that will pay
them many times the $20 cost?

Not
only is 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door a useful resource,
but the authors have also made it easy and fun to read! My copy is
already dog-eared with the many pages of ideas that I plan to use. It is
a recommended read for the novel and innovative ideas, as well as the
bonus benefit of sparking your own creativity and coming up with even
more ideas!

As
a Marketing Consultant, I am always looking for fresh new ideas that
will help my clients distinguish themselves from their competitors.
101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door is a treasure trove
of clever, fresh and innovative concepts to create a lasting impression.
It is an invaluable addition to my resource library.

Many of the
world’s greatest ideas have been around for a long time and sometimes
it takes someone to put them in a format that is easy and entertaining
to read. This book should be opened and utilized during the
business planning phase of new and existing businesses.
I am also a consumer
and as I read some of the 101 Ways I found myself thinking of the
business’s that I had received something from that included their
name. A good pen is always nice. And who doesn’t need a
pad of paper or sticky notes? Besides, you always walk away
thinking you got a bit of a special deal or consideration, not to
mention, if you are a good client you really do expect your vendor to
give a couple of freebies.
Other ideas such as the
Elevator Speech caused me to rethink how I would fare in those
situations. Knowledge of what you’re doing and enthusiasm about
it are deal breakers if not done well.
I know your book is
worth much more than the $20 I paid. Thanks, you really do practice what
you preach. I’m not surprised at your success.

again! You can't afford not to have this book!

SEMINAR
Kathleen Gage's
seminar was a real eye opener. We recognized the things we were
doing correctly and the things we needed to improve upon. After
attending her seminar we signed up four new clients in as many weeks!
If you need inspiration, motivation, or just some fresh ideas,
Kathleen's seminar is a must! -

When I heard that Kathleen Gage and Lori Giovannoni had
finished their book 101 Ways to Get Your Foot in the Door, I
pre – ordered 10 books so that no one in our sales, marketing or
retail operations would ever be too far away from a copy of it.
I have seen Kathleen and Lori in action at a seminar and left
with writer’s cramp trying to jot down every new idea they were
throwing at us. This book captures the great energy and creative
generosity that Kathleen and Lori are known for, presenting the reader
with plenty of unique and proven approaches.
I plan on using their ideas before our competitors do!

After having the
opportunity to buy the book and attend the seminar put on by the authors
of this great book, it was a great learning experience for me on how to
make a lasting impression on the people I work with, either in my
business, ACN International or my organization, the Utah Women’s
Alliance for Building Community. The authors made it fun,
inspirational and motivating with great, easy ideas to get your foot in
the door and achieve the level I success I want.

The seminar was full of good ideas --
also your suggestion that I hold a free seminar myself got me thinking
about new ways to promote my French school and travel program. The
energy of the seminar was impressive, and the many tips were very
useful. I would recommend this seminar to anyone who wants to start a
business or improve the business they have.
