Praise for Seal the Deal
by Suzi Pomerantz
“Seal the Deal is an excellent source for anyone in business. Suzi’s powerful insights and practical tools will enable business people in organizations of all sizes. Whether you are inside a large organization and want to increase your visibility, a retiring executive about to launch your own consulting effort, or a sales executive wanting to unlock your best performance, you will find valuable ideas, tools, and methods in this book. For those newer to solopreneurship, Pomerantz’ book is an integrated system that functions as a personal sales coach throughout a 10-week course. I’m hooked! I kept intending to just skim but I couldn’t seem to skip any of it. Of the 14 books ‘in progress’ on my reading table, none has captured my attention like Seal the Deal! This is a ‘must have’ for anyone who wants to increase the effectiveness of his or her networking, marketing, and sales efforts.”
