Publisher's summary

This business classic features straight-talking advice you’ll never hear in school.

Featuring a new foreword by Ariel Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell

Mark H. McCormack, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in American business, is widely credited as the founder of the modern-day sports marketing industry. On a handshake with Arnold Palmer and less than a thousand dollars, he started International Management Group and, over a four-decade period, built the company into a multimillion-dollar enterprise with offices in more than forty countries.

To this day, McCormack’s business classic remains a must for executives and managers at every level. Relating his proven method of “applied people sense” in key chapters on sales, negotiation, reading others and yourself, and executive time management, McCormack presents powerful real-world guidance on

• the secret life of a deal

• management philosophies that don’t work (and one that does)

• the key to running a meeting—and how to attend one

• the positive use of negative reinforcement

• proven ways to observe aggressively and take the edge

• and much more

Some advice is never outdated

it is full of advice and insight which I believe some people may bat an eye at because it might seem outdated, but I don't think it is, I found it very insightful and sort of feels like having a very wise and experienced grandpa giving you business advuc3 and it is up to you to adapt it to today's world, I will register constantly, too much to digest, would recommend!

Top 5 All-Time Favorite

So many great nuggets in here. Comparable to “How to Win Friends and Influence People” in terms of its readability (or in this case, listenability) and the value in the quantity and quality of ideas shared.

It’s old school and helpful but outdated

Good information if you were to start a business 25 years ago! Some of it is timeless however todays environment is much different
