Review of Bly on Direct Marketing (Hardcover)

I'm a bit prejudiced when it comes to Bob Bly. I don't know him on a personal level, but he has put over $100,000 in my pocket. How, you might ask? About a year ago, I took information from one of his books (he's the author of over 60) and put it to use in my business--massive profits were the result.

When I saw that "Bly on Direct Marketing" had been published, I bought and devoured the entire book in just two days. Now I'm going back through it and compiling a new action list for my business; I'm certain I'll double my revenues in the next 12 months.

Not everyone's results will match mine, of course; but I'm hard-pressed to think of any business that would not benefit from the real-world, tried-and-tested instructions contained between its covers.

The best thing about this book is that it's not a collection of wide-eyed theory and empty catch-phrases (like so many business books these days); it's more like a to-do list. Pick the items that will make the most impact on your business, and get to work!
