If only we’d known early on how book writing made easy can join with heart marketing to create a joyful experience of both self-expression and selling and marketing.

But no… instead…The other day we found the first document we wrote together (an advice doc about relationship problems that we advertised in the National Enquirer in 1987…shhhhh)

Fortunately we sold only one of them and promptly put ourselves out of that ‘Mail-order” business idea -

AND thank goodness! The writing was horrible! Truly a mish-mash with no organization, no focus - quite a mess!

Now we later went on to become the authors of 5 best-sellers - 4 books about romantic relationships and our latest - The Heart of Marketing - Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back (Morgan James)

BUT - oh what we would have given for someone with the right expertise to guide us through the book writing process to make it easier and faster. And if only there had been someone who could have guided us through the process of discovering the soul-felt service of heart marketing our books -

But there was no one…

Now we know that the real fact is, writing a book is easy when you have a step-by-step roadmap to guide you from start to publish - and beyond - and The Story Lady Ronda Del Boccio’s program helps you plan for your larger future with your book - even before you start writing.

In fact, here’s the link for her special program where you even get personal time with her to get her input on your book project!

And while your call with Ronda will be live, her program can be used at any time.

We’re both proud and delighted to let you know about a couple of Google Alerts we received recently which let us know that our bestselling book - The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back (Morgan James 2009) – is showing up with praise and recognition in other people’s blogs.

The two examples below are from blogs written by people we do not know. AND we want to stress that we don’t have a professional (or even amateur) publicist creating stories and “feeding” them to these blog hosts.

This kind of heart marketing material is spontaneous and the result of the writers’ response to our book — however they found out about it on their own.

Michelle Blakeley named The Heart of Marketing to her Top 31 Best Books for the Solopreneur and Small Business Owner. She said:

—>>> The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back by Judith Sherven, Ph.D., and Jim Sniechowski, Ph.D. - It is the solopreneur’s guide to heart-based, client-oriented, soft-sell marketing.

And in Writer’s Weekly
Alice J. Wisler wrote in her article “Selling Books Like a Client Advisor”

—>>> In their book, The Heart of Marketing: Love Your Customers and They Will Love You Back, authors Judith Shervin and Jim Sniechowski are more interested in creating a relationship than closing a sale. They use the soft-sale approach to marketing products and services as opposed to the bottom-line driven method. Much recognition has been given to them as they lead others in this heart-inspired style of doing business.

(note Sherven is spelled with an e, not an “i” — but Alice is more than forgiven!)
