What's "Profitable Etiquette"?

You've heard of Emily Post, Ms. Manners, and other etiquette gurus? Well...they tell you the rules of "civilized society". Now, civilized society is well and good, and we may practice these etiquette conventions for social and professional acceptability. Yet, I want more than just acceptability; I want to make more money and advance in my career and business. There are more - sometimes unspoken - rules for what to do and say to sit at the decision-making tables and make top dollar, whether within an organization, in your own business, or as an independent consultant or salesperson. This is the realm of profitable etiquette!

Hey Sylvia! I Can't Find the Book to Order. What's the Deal?

Hey...what's with this immediate gratification thing going on? Proposals. Cover design. Writing. Editing. Formatting. Reviewing. Publishers. Printing. Distributing. Dang! My hurry is clearly not other people's hurry. E-mail me to pre-order your book. I will send a "purchase now" announcement when it's ready and you'll be the first recipients of autographed copies. Meanwhile, that's what this blog is for...immediate gratification. These tips and resources should hold you over until you get the book.
