Product Description
Hardcover textbook with CD. This is an introduction to important financial concepts, financial decisions, long-term and short-term investments.
Book Description
Includes updated material and new chapters on making group presentations as well as source materials (such as visual aids). Also adds up-to-date examples that will replace the outmoded ones in the current edition. Based on David Peoples' popular seminars on presentations and selling skills, it will show the reader the tricks and ordinary techniques that make up strong presentations. As with the first edition, this revision will cover areas of concern from preparing for a speech to keeping the audience interested and alert to reducing pre-presentation nervousness.

Presentations Plus is a Definite Plus.......2006-12-02
My masters thesis was creating a training program for Presentation Skills. Mr. Peoples' work was one of my constant sources for finishing the project, and his book is thorough enough for anyone who may find themselves in a public speaking situation.
A few things stood out about his book from the number I have read. The author presents an outline format that is easy to follow and should be followed. One of his innovations here is suggesting that the presenter write the conclusion before the introduction. This is so simple, it's brilliant. Most people feel they have to start from the beginning and sit there for days trying to think of something catchy. It almost never works. The author suggests writing the conclusion right after writing the objectives. This will give the presenter time to think of something memorable after working on the topic.
Another part of this book that really impressed me is the 60 Tips in 60 Minutes. These tips should be practiced until they become automatic. Before you know it, you will have automatically become a great presenter.
Here's another tip. Buy the book now. Don't wait for Presentation Surprise. Start now. You only want to be thinking of the topic when the assignment comes.
Presentations Plus.......2005-09-05
This is an excellent book to help any age with presentations. An easy read.
Excellent, easy to use resource.......2002-07-13
This book is awesome. I am a professional speaker and trainer and it has helped me immensely. Whenever I sit down to write a new seminar, I refer back to its tips to guide me. The best suggestion in the book is to give the audience a selfish reason to listen to you within the first two minutes. David Peoples also suggests writing your closing first so you know where you are headed. All of the tips are easy to understand and relevant. There is quite a bit of discussion about overhead transparencies and I think most people use Powerpoint presentations these days, but most of those concepts for creating effective slides apply to Powerpoint also.
It also gave me a lot of confidence since I knew I had covered all my bases by using this book to prepare. I highly recommend it for those who speak to groups for a living or make presentations as part of their jobs. I am also going to add it to my website as part of my suggested reading list. Buy it!
The best overall reference for speaking and presentations........1999-07-19
If you could only have one book on speaking and presentations, this should be the one! I've taken numerous speaking and presentations courses, won speaking contests, and I still learned many things from this book. It covers everything from controlling nervousness to why presentation skills are important.
A Good Tool for any Business or even Students........1997-06-23
I have checked my University's library and find that there's very few book about this topic. I find Mr. Peoples' book full of experience and advices. I almost want to rate this book (paper back version) 10 marks, but I found the charts as well as the page layouts are sometimes just demonstrate the down sides of good presentations. Hope the next revised edition can look into this and use some more "updated" cliparts as well. the printing and paper used are also need improve.

Book Description
Winning the Chain Restaurant Game
Are you ready for success?...
Find out what it takes in this insider's guide to making it in today's most exciting growth industry.
In this instructive and inspiring book, award-winning authors and foodservice industry experts Charles Bernstein and Ron Paul tell how the most successful restaurant companies win with bottom-up management, putting the customer on top. Based on interviews with more than a hundred industry executives and packed with enlightening examples as well as a few historic failures, this unique book teaches important lessons for restaurateurs and other entrepreneurs:
- Presents the first authoritative, in-depth look at the restaurant chain industry as a whole
- Tells how successful chain CEOs produce results with varied winning styles
- Isolates and clearly describes the eight crucial factors, or strategic "links," vital to restaurant chain success
- Tells how chains can capitalize on bulk purchasing, brand identity, consistent execution, an individual sense of style and—most of all—finding unique ways to please the customer
Few success stories so thoroughly embody the twentieth-century American dream as those of restaurant chains such as McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut, Wendy's, Little Caesar's, and Taco Bell. But besides the "true grit" demonstrated by entrepreneurial heros like McDonald's Ray Kroc and Wendy's Dave Thomas, what does it take to build and maintain a successful restaurant or retail chain? Find out in this first book to give a broad, long-term perspective on one of the nation's leading growth industries and to offer crucial lessons for all entrepreneurs, no matter what the business.
Winning the Chain Restaurant Game, by award-winning authors and noted foodservice industry experts Charles Bernstein and Ron Paul, documents the critical success factors required for one of the toughest, most competitive industries.
Highlighting the winning styles of more than a hundred chain executives, their triumphs, trials, disappointments, and turnarounds, this fascinating and instructive book identifies the eight strategic "links" that lead to victory in the chain restaurant business. With surgical precision, Bernstein and Paul explore such key factors as leadership, motivation, bulk purchasing, marketing, identity, consistency, and expansion. But they place focus ahead of everything and conclude that the entrepreneurial passion of an executive who deeply believes in his concept is the ultimate catalyst for success.
Small- to medium-size chains are going public at a dizzying pace and there are enormous financial opportunities for savvy restaurant owners. Winning the Chain Restaurant Game arms operators with the vital know-how needed to win the game.

According to Chuck Martin there are two types of people: those who think the Net might be a really big thing, and those who know the Net is revolutionizing the world. In The Digital Estate, Martin provides a blueprint for success in our increasingly wired world, explaining in clear and readable prose how businesses can utilize the Internet and other new technology. His main point is that businesses must break the old molds and think about what they do in an entirely new way. Each chapter is liberally sprinkled with anecdotes about visionary companies creating their presence on the Internet, and an index lists more than a hundred URLs of featured businesses.
Book Description
The emergence of the Internet and the World Wide Web has created a new journalistic order, and the Fourth Estate, the print world as we have known it, is quickly becoming obsolete. The Digital Estate, a new internetworked world, with content, and distributed through the Internet, has taken its place, and now fundamentally represents the new face of publishing. This book is for every businessperson who wants to capitalize on the exciting opportunities emerging on the Internet and the World Wide Web. From his connections with industry leaders who are on the frontlines of the new media revolution, to insights which he includes from "new readers" who are just beginning to consume and utilize this information in radically different ways, Charles Martin will help you see what lies ahead in the digital marketplace. He fearlessly discusses the controversial business issues that govern the cyberage in the next millennium, such as: Why are the world's media empires helpless to maintain their dominance?; How has the playing field of information providers been leveled?; What challenges face us as advertisers become content providers?; Which new principles will govern business and media in the coming century?; Sure to provoke controversy, The Digital Estate clarifies the profound changes in media that are already affecting all aspects of business and consumer behavior. It's an eye-opener and lifeline for anyone who wants to survive the avalanche of the Information Age... and prosper from it.
Customer Reviews:
Good book detailing realitites and possibilities of the net!.......1998-05-02
If you've been awake and actively using the net over the past few years, you probably already know just about everything in this book. Martin has very good insight into what the web can really be...beyond all the technology hoopla, building virtual communities, supplying appropriate content, making a corporate web site that is actually useful to consumers, etc.. A GREAT read for those trying to make sense of the web, understand how people use the web, and see how other companies have created successful enterprises or applications integrating the internet. The copy I got had some duplicate/missing pages in the introduction of the book.
An important analysis of the state of business on the Intern.......1998-01-22
This book is a "must read" for all company owners and managers involved in the corporate planning process. The Digital Estate digs into the successes and failures of pure on-line businesses and electronic efforts of other companies to define the principals of doing business today. This is not a "technology book" and is not targeted for "net heads" or persons already in the Internet business. It is a business book for executives that contrasts the "old way" and new methods that are transforming business thinking. It is a book for business heads that need a grounding in business on the Internet. Written in a clear and concise manner, sans hype and jargon, it is engrossing, clever and insightful. I can not over emphasize the importance of this book to all business executives.
Great review of the Internet Revolution.......1997-09-19
If you are looking for a book to really understand the outgoing Net Revolution, don't look further. Martin takes you to the center of the digital movement in a cristal clear writing. This is a book to change the way we think, the way we live. The beggining of a personal revolution
Sound, detailed, helpful at all levels. Get this one........1997-09-04
In a domain positively viscous with lame literature, this book doesn't have any serious competition. It's very helpful at all levels, but its witty and humane approach is particularly good for business people moving onto the Web for the first time. Martin gives sound, detailed explanations of Web advertising, branding, business planning and building an on-line community by using the actual experiences of Net companies that are building today's new Internet economy
Don't get the net? GET THIS BOOK!.......1997-08-10
An *EXCELLENT* book, written in a very easy-to-read style, that puts the Internet revolution in perspective. If you are a confirmed 'nethead, then this book is not for you - it is only telling you what you already know. If you don't "get it", and/or you are sceptical about the net, then GET THIS BOOK. It has changed our lives and will continue to change it for some time to come. Chuck uses real examples from real companies and people to drive home his points. Some of the links need to be updated on his website, but other than that, I highly recommend this. A good companion read would be James Martin's "Cybercorp"
