A visual way to easily access the strategies and tactics in
Book Yourself Solid
Learning new concepts is easier when you can see the
solution. Book Yourself Solid Illustrated, a remarkable,
one-of-a-kind work of art, transforms the Book Yourself
Solid system into a more compelling and easy-to-consume
playbook for any business owner.
You won’t find business school graphs or mind
maps. Instead, you’ll find compelling, visual stories that
reinvent old and tired business concepts, making Book Yourself
Solid Illustrated a fun and playful book that you will revisit
year after year as you get more clients than you can handle.
There isn’t a business book on the market that can show
you how to apply the strategies, techniques, and skills necessary
to generate new leads, add more clients, and increase profits
through visuals. Previously you could only read or listen to
advice, now you can see it and get it faster.
This illustrated version is organized into four modules: your
foundation, building trust and credibility, simple selling and
perfect pricing, and the Book Yourself Solid 6 core
self-promotion strategies.
* Reengineering the book with visual strategist, Jocelyn
Wallace, has given author Michael Port new ways of explaining and
expanding his gold-standard material.
