Do you fit one of these categories? Life Is a Series of Presentations is for executives, entrepreneurs, salespeople, negotiators and marketing pros. Don't wait. Buy this book for yourself - and be surprised and entertained by the valuable and useful content. Review by Dan Siedman (SalesAutopsy.com)
If you only read one book this year, read this one. I heard Tony Jeary speak in person in Eatontown NJ on 3/25/04 and bought his book at the seminar. The insights into making presentations to groups of any size that he provides in this book are incredible and very relevant to anyone who wishes to communicate more effectively. Through the school of hard knocks, he has truly mastered the art and science of making quality presentations.
This book reveals his common sense secrets. If you are serious about planning meetings and presentations that get real results (not snores or rolling eyeballs), this is the book for you. I am planning a new presentation using his 3D outline and find it extremely helpful and useful. His writing style is both engaging and informative. An absolute must read.
