My book has just been released from the publisher and is now available! Thanks to all of you for your encouragement, sponsorship, and sound advice during the process.
You can order The Persuasive Wizard: How Technical Experts Sell Their Ideas to Non-technical Decision Makers at Amazon.com for the retail price 0f $12.95. However, the publisher has permitted me to offer it to my blog readers, for a limited time, at a special discount. Go to this site, Wizard and enter the code 7PBGMXNC. (I apologize for the complex code but the publisher was intractable and did remind me I was writing for technologists. Although, in reality, the book is an easy read and excellent for anyone who needs to persuade others).
You know someone who needs this book. That technie who can never communicate. That coworker who cannot explain anything she is doing. That manager who can never get funding for your organization. Make this book a “must read’ for them. Get it to your acquaintances. It is being reviewed by colleges and should be available soon as an adjunct in communications classes and engineering. Personally, I believe all college graduates in a technical field need this book.
My aim is to transform every technoloigst into a persuasive force to gain entrepreneurial funding, to secure research investment dollars, to create startups, to improve resources, to fund new products, to find a new job, to be promoted to a better job, or to fulfill any of the hundreds of other desires that technologists have.
This book will make a difference in their lives. It will make a difference in mine, too, as I have an expensive wife, and two kids in college.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity.
I welcome all comments either at this site or as a reviewer for Amazon.com. The book is available through national booksellers Baker and Taylor and Ingram. Local bookstores can special order through them if it is not available in your local area.
