A Book Builds Credibility in Your Industry
I had a conversation with a client this morning. As we were exploring the book publishing process, she mentioned her desire to build credibility within her industry. I asserted, "If nothing else a book will definitely build credibility." Another friend of mine I said, "Imagine giving a prospective employer your resume and your book... who do you think they're going to be more impressed with? The guy with JUST the resume or you?"
Books definitely build desired credibility. People are generally impressed that you had not only the knowledge and expertise, but also the discipline and skill to sit down and write a book. We all have a story to tell, but can you tell that story in a captivating and interesting way?
And one thing that our company can do is help just about anyone get the book out of their heads and onto paper. While we can never promise how a marketplace will respond to a book, we do promise these benefits (as they are assured):

- Credibility as an expert
- Potential to be asked to speak to groups, associations and organizations as an expert
- Potential to be interviewed with various media organizations as a subject matter expert
- Increased clientele and business from those who read the book and know you're an author
- More networking opportunities
