    Ninety  percent of dissatisfied clients will take their business elsewhere  and never tell you why.  However, ninety-FIVE  percent will become loyal customers again if their needs and  problems are addressed and remedied.  Speaker and  salesperson Michael Aun shares these secrets and many more in  It's the Customer, Stupid!, a guide to growing any business  by gaining new customers, and - more importantly - keeping happy  the ones you have.   The book explains the common myths about sales and customer  satisfaction, starting with the fact that most businesses think  they're customer-centric, but they just aren't. The book explains  how to do things that may be inconvenient for you, but your  customers will love. And you'll love the effect on sales!   Hard-hitting principles include:      In  many service industries, the quality of service is one of the few  variables that can distinguish a business from its  competition.

Ninety  six percent of dissatisfied member clients do not complain of poor  service. They figure, "What's the use? Nobody's listening!" Treat  the people who do complain like gold, because they speak for all  your dissatisfied customers. Return calls the same day in which a  complaint comes

    A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder—exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish. 
As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her “symptoms”--only ever labeled as anxiety-- were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity—a framework that moves away from pathologizing “abnormal” versus “normal” brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups.    
When it comes to women, sensory processing differences are often overlooked, masked, or mistaken for something else entirely. Between a flawed system that focuses on diagnosing younger, male populations, and the fact that girls are conditioned from a young age to blend in and conform to gender expectations, women often don’t learn about their neurological differences until they are adults, if at all. As a result, potentially millions live with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed neurodivergences, and the misidentification leads to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and shame. Meanwhile, we all miss out on the gifts their neurodivergent minds have to offer. 
Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are “different.” Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it’s not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it). 
Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

    It only took five years for two brothers-in-law to create a billion-dollar, award-winning, take-no-prisoners cannabis company called HEXO. How did they do it? That’s the story.

    CEO and award-winning business writer John R. Brandt offers concrete examples of how any organization can innovate in ways that delight customers and attract top-level talent. 
Nincompoopery--terrible customer service, idiotic business processes, and soul-crushing management practices--surrounds all of us. We lose time, patience, and profits as stuck-in-the-past organizations actively prevent us (and our customers) from getting the value we (and they) deserve. 
In Nincompoopery, Brandt leverages research across thousands of companies to show leaders how to find and kill the corporate stupidity that drives customers crazy. 
It usually starts by asking simple questions, such as:Why should our customers have to rekey their data multiple times to make a single purchase?Why are there four levels of approval just to order basic supplies?Why can’t we get qualified candidates for open positions, or provide new employees with decent training?In short: How did we become such nincompoops? And when will we stop? 
Brandt has worked with hundreds of companies to help them outwit competitors, and in this book, he shares his unique blueprint for success. Nincompoopery offers leaders the answers they need--and the profits they crave--with a scoop of humor on the side.
