ARE YOU RUNNING OR LAUNCHING A BUSINESS?

IS YOUR BUSINESS COMMUNICATION CRYSTAL CLEAR? 

iF NOT, WHY NOT? 

Synopsis:

Perhaps you need a book to grab you by the hand, make you look at things from entirely fresh angles, teach you to trust your instincts, and signpost expensive pitfalls before you trip over them.    

Getting it Write is built on a feet firmly on the floor philosophy, as well as on years of experience in launching and writing for successful businesses - scars, t-shirts and cynicism as proof. Showing you there are no absolute rights, wrongs or rules, it shares options, opinions, suggestions and most important of all, demonstrates how and why common-sense is the common denominator for success - once you learn to trust yourself. 

COMMUNICATION HAS TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, BECAUSE IF IT’S NOT CLEAR, IT’S NOT COMMUNICATION!

Review:

Want to start your own business? READ this bok first! WHY? Because Marilyn walks you through ALL the basics- from planning what you are selling/offering, to how to get it seen and used (bought). From how to pick out a business name (more complicated than you might think, as you have to think AHEAD), to how that name can be used wrongly with PR, and how to achieve an excellent PR reach, using proper technique and easy to use steps. Yes, YOU can be your own PR machine, and do it quite well with this book! Even if you already have a business going, reading the book can help you add a new perspective to what you want to achieve, and how to make it happen! 

For those involved in community agencies, organizations or service groups, this book is also a great read! many of the simple promotional ideas can be easily implemented with great success by all of these groups as well. It really is a resource for everyone! I also recommend it for homeschoolers! If you have a child who wants to own their own business, it would be easy to use this book with consumer/business math, and make a full elective credit for them in Business 101! 

About the Author:

Marilyn was a regular feature and fiction writer for national magazines when her children were small. She set up her first business from home, selling toys, books, and party goods, before opening first one shop, then another. When she sold both shops, she moved into the world of travel, focusing on B & B’s and Country Inns in New England, USA. Her advisory, planning, and booking service flourished and she concurrently launched a publishing company, producing annual, full-colour accommodation guides to the areas.

In 2007 she set up a copywriting consultancy, to help businesses shape their messages to optimum effect. She’s blogged for The Telegraph online; published the Vintage Ladies Collection; written four Business Books and four Paranormal Thrillers.

She’s been married to her very patient husband for more years than he deserves, and they have two children, five grandchildren and, somewhat to their surprise, several granddogs.
