Customer Reviews

Solid Strategies from an industry insider

I know and admire Scott McKain. He is Vice Chairman of a business conglomerate and a veteran media personality. His insights into how regular businesses can learn much from the entertainment industry are right on target. Learn, as I have, how to attract an audience, win them over, hold their attention, stimulate word of mouth promotion and gain their allegiance. Build a following for your business like entertainment companies do for theirs. Not only is this fascinating, it is also fun to read. Scott has visited with John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and scores of other celebrities, many of the stars of the music industry, TV executives, talent agents, business owners and best selling authors to bring you ideas that will create a blockbuster for you!

Great book from a great speaker

I heard Scott McKain speak at a meeting recently. Following the presentation, our company gave each dealer a copy of this book. I am now buying more copies for my employees. I think this is one of the better business books I have read. It is one of the few that combines ideas with specific points on how to use them. I don't know that I could give it a better recommendation than the fact that I have read it and now I want the people who work with me to read it.

Wow! This man knows his stuff!

What an incredible book, based on a powerful premise! Indeed, all business is Show Business, and McKain, a veteran of both types of business, shows us precisely how to do it. I read a lot of business books every year. I recommend this one highly. The man knows his way around. Lights, camera, read!

a terrific book

This book has more practical suggestions and ideas than just about any other business book I have read. What I liked the most is that the author has been a part of building and managing real companies and is not some "expert" just talking about theories like we see so much of in business books today. This book and "Good to Great" are the two best books out there.

Great Book!

This is one of the best business books I have ever read. It is filled with great ideas that I am putting to use in my company immediately, and am buying copies for all of my employees as well.
