There's a Customer Born Every Minute The infamous showman P.T. Barnum is perhaps best known for having said "There’s a sucker born every minute." However, Barnum never said or wrote the line at all.

In this delightful and absorbing new edition, author Joe Vitale reveals the true secrets to Barnum’s success and shares the ten key business practices that Barnum developed during his career. Further, Vitale shows entrepreneurs and business leaders how to adapt these key business practices for today’s fast-paced business world.

Including rare material by and about Barnum, such as ads, photos, letters, an exclusive in-depth interview with Barnum, and the entire text to his famous speech "The Art of Money Getting," There’s a Customer Born Every Minute is both a business resource packed with true business wisdom, and a fascinating look at the man himself.

Dealing with Darwin Bestselling author Geoffrey Moore shows companies how to rise to the challenge of natural selection and master their own evolution Geoffrey Moore is one of the most respected and bestselling names in business books. In his widely quoted Crossing the Chasm, he identified and addressed the greatest challenge facing new ventures. Now he’s back with a book for established businesses that need to learn how to adapt - or suffer the slow declines into marginalized performance that have characterized so many Fortune 500 icons in recent years. Deregulation, globalization, and e-commerce are exerting unprecedented pressures on company profits. In this new economic ecosystem, companies must dramatically differentiate from their direct competitors - or risk declining performance and eventual extinction. But how do companies choose the right innovation strategy? Or overcome internal inertia that resists the kind of radical commitments needed to truly set the company’s offers apart? For any business competing in today’s eat-or-be-eaten economic jungle, this groundbreaking guide shows not only how to survive, but also thrive. Retail $36.95 |
