Books about Outperform from Amazon.com

Marketing wiz Jay Abraham provides some powerful strategies for boosting your career or business in Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got. Abraham believes that anyone can advance in life by tapping into hidden assets and developing the right mindset. He writes, "You are surrounded by simple, obvious solutions that can dramatically increase your income, power, influence and success. The problem is, you just don't see them." Over the course of 21 chapters, he shows how to get ahead by treating bosses and clients as valued friends; find better and more exciting ways of doing things; develop "unique selling propositions"; persuade people to follow your lead; master the art of selling on the telephone; craft a formal referral system; sell on the Internet; and forge strong, established business relationships. Abraham's central theme is that everyone is in sales. In almost any profession, people must be skilled at selling themselves and their ideas, not just their company's product or service. Engagingly written, the book features more than 200 examples of people and companies who have successfully used these techniques, from Bill Gates and Dennis Rodman to Sharper Image and Federal Express. --Dan Ring.

CEOs and managers live and die by delivering superior performance to shareholders This is why expectations-based management has been developed Outperform with Expectations-Based Management (EBM) introduces a revolutionary new performance metric that links performance standards, performance measurement, and the achievement of performance.

It's easy to say that if a CEO can get performance measurement right, then performance improvement will follow. But what is the "right" measure of performance, and how do you use it to improve performance? Authors Tom Copeland and Aaron Dolgoff answer these questions and many more, as they show you how to find the measure of performance that has the strongest link to the creation of wealth for the owners of both public and private companies. They answer the puzzle of why growth in earnings is not correlated with shareholder returns and explain the under- and over-investment traps. And they explain how clear communications to investors and managers alike improve value.

The bottom line is that share prices go up when companies exceed expectations -- short-term and long-term -- of income statement and balance sheet performance and daily operating value drivers. Gain a complete understanding of EBM and discover how to do this, and much more, while staying competitive in an unforgiving business environment..

TECHNOLEVERAGE Using the Power of Technology to Outperform the Competition "Respond to customers " "Cut costs to the bone." These are time-honored business tactics. But marketing consultant Michael Hruby has seen that getting technology "under your business" will do far more to boost sales, lift profits, and keep you competitive. His new book, Technoleverage, proves that today it is technology that drives competitive advantage. How? One way is to create technological breakthroughs (or borrow someone else's) that radically improve products. Hruby explains what injection molding did for the lowly tennis shoe, what robotics did for roadside billboards, and provides dozens more fascinating examples. Technology can also deliver products and services fast -- and to a customer's exact specifications. And of course, technology also improves the efficiency of operations (aka: cuts costs). Using real-world stories from companies in dozens of industries, Technoleverage shows how wise use of technology is the differentiating factor in exponential success. It shows how to get technology under your business to literally "lift" its profits, visibility, size, and value. A technology-driven business strategy applies to all types of firms, whether they invent new technologies, manufacture technological goods, sell technological services, integrate the technology of others, distribute technology -- or just plain use it. Whatever business a manager is in, Technoleverage explains how to seek out and fully exploit high-value technology improvements, for maximum profit improvement. F. MICHAEL HRUBY (Acton, MA) is president of Technology Marketing Group, a firm founded in 1984 to help companies manage and market their technologies. Technoleverage was prompted by managers' response to the idea that technology, when properly managed, can be an engine of growth for any business. His clients include Amoco, Avery Dennison, Fraser Paper, Georgia Pacific, Halliburton, Hercules, Rohm & Hass, and Unitrode. .
