Insightful!.......2005-04-20
Stephan Schiffman is a storied veteran in the field of corporate sales training. His book offers many useful tools, including a test to determine if you're suffering from burnout, a myriad of tips on selling more effectively (Shiffman's foremost area of expertise) and an appendix with advice for telemarketing sales operations. Schiffman includes scores of anti-burnout measures, ranging from diet to managing expectations to transforming stress into creative energy. Most chapters are only two to three pages long, which makes this book read at a practical pace for busy professionals, including sales managers, an audience Schiffman specifically addresses. His advice on burnout is sound and well founded, if not nearly as brilliant as his advice on the selling process itself. We recommend this book, although its impact on you will depend on your stress level, experience, personality and job circumstances. The section on how managers can minimize burnout will help you even before your team members get their copies. Reading this book may not prevent burnout, but at least you'll know how to douse it.

Book Description
Accenture, one of the world's largest consulting firms with 75,000 employees and offices in 47 countries, is growing and downsizing at the same time. The fluctuating economy has hit Accenture just as hard as its competitors (if not harder—Accenture is one of just a few public consulting firms), and between summer 2001 and summer 2002, the firm announced 2,500 job cuts. But Accenture also promises a net increase of 8,000 employees worldwide by the end of 2003, and insiders are bullish about the company's ability to bounce back. That said, how can you best prepare for your interviews with this consulting giant? The answers are all here, in the WetFeet Insider Guide on Accenture.
You'll learn:
- How is Accenture similar to/different from the McKinseys and Bains of the consulting world?
- How does Accenture plan to stay toward the front of the consulting pack?
- What are the responsibilities of MBAs and undergrads when they go to work for the firm?
- What different projects do consultants in Accenture's different service lines work on?
- What is "behavioral interviewing," and what does it mean for your Accenture interview?
- What should and shouldn't you talk about in your interview?

A great preparation tool.......2003-04-10
This guide was helpful in giving me more than what's on the Accenture corporate website. I really liked getting all of the advice from insiders at the company including recruiters and consultants alike. I wasn't sure at first whether this would give me what I was looking for --which is a broad view of the company, both good and bad. But it did! and I'm glad to see that it is well-rounded. Sure Accenture has had rough times, but who hasn't in the industry? And it's great to hear they're hiring so aggressively for 2003. I'm hoping I'll be one of the candidates to get an offer. I'll certainly call on the tips and info I've gleaned from this guide to hose the competition!
Great interview preparation.......2003-03-04
This guide was packed with information that you can't find anywhere else. I went into my first interview full of information and knowing what to expect, and feel like it all went really well. I've already been called in for a second interview, thanks to my thorough preparation with this guide. I strongly recommend it.

Formed in 1989, the firm very quickly moved to the head of the industry both by concentrating in its traditional strength in IT consulting and by moving into other fields--management consulting, human resources consulting, and outsourcing, among others--in a big way. Now it's trying to break its ties with its parent firm, the tax and accounting giant Arthur Andersen. Will it succeed in its quest for independence? Will the battle with Arthur Andersen have any effect on the job seeker? How can you best prepare for your interviews with this consulting King Kong? The answers are all here, in the new WetFeet.com Insider Guide.

Old Info.......2001-06-17
This is an old book with generic information. The only mention of the change to Accenture is a sticker on the cover. For the high price, I expected more information on the particular business lines they cover, the job rankings and levels, more specifics on everything. I learned more about the company from their own website...
Got the job!!.......1999-03-11
This obviously wasn't the only reason I was just got an offer from AC, but it really helped.

A succinct book that covers just about everything in a readable way. It stands out amongst other small business books with its hard core advice on important elements for success. A couple examples, the entrepreneur's responsibility to develop an accountable culture, and future forecasts for small businesses to keep up with our changing world.

Book Description
A profits-oriented approach to cash flow management for independent business owners/managers. Thousands of mangers have found this a superb tool for day-to-day management of a firm's cash flow.
Cash Flow Problem Solver was selected as an alternate of both the Business Week Book Club and the Fortune Book Club.
Cash Flow Problem Solver serves as a valuable tool for day-to-day management of a firm's cash flow. The discussion focuses on the management principles that can help a business manger or owner anticipate and avoid many potential cash flow problems. However, the best foresight cannot anticipate every cash flow problem. So, the discussion also illustrates how to handle the cash flow problems that do occur.
The book's focus centers on the basic principles that help orient positive cash flow management in a business. A positive effort goes beyond anticipating or overcoming cash flow problems. That effort can add significant dollars to a firm's earnings. Positive cash flow management can become a new profit center for a business. You will find realistic examples of the positive principles in action. Then, you will find the action tools necessary to turn the potential increase in earnings into measurable bottom-line benefits.

From the supplier: Top officials of the City of Rye, NY, formed a computer steering committee to develop a plan to solve the year 2000 computer compliance problem among systems in the city. The committee identified the systems used in the city and solicited the expertise of vendors and manufacturers in updating non-year 2000 compliant systems. The committee was able to identify the systems in use with the help of vendors and department personnel. These included public safety systems, financial systems and recreation systems.
