Become a Recognized Authority in Your Field

Leading the Pack is the first book to show the average practitioner in any field how, through a deliberate plan of self-promotion, they too can quickly elevate themselves to expert status-and become the preferred source of advice and service in their market, and eliminate the need to make cold calls and do the selling ordinary vendors do. The book is based on both the author's personal experience in becoming the recognized leader in his niche (direct marketing) as well as case histories of others who have established "leader" status using the methods outlined in the book. Examples include Robert C. Parker (desktop publishing), Tony Robbins (peak performance), Jakob Neilsen (Web usability), Seth Godin (permission marketing), Peter Drucker (management), and Martha Stewart (entertaining at home).
