Salesforce's standard reporting tools provide a rich set of features that, when combined, support a wide variety of analytics needs."--Provided by publisher.

By employing the recommendations in this book, you'll elevate your speaking business to new heights in our "new normal" speaking world. REVIEW FROM ONLINE BOOK CLUB ... January 2023 The Speaker's Edge by Ken Lizotte is, at its core, a comprehensive guide on how to become a successful (and well-paid) public speaker. However, unlike most other books that fall into this category, Lizotte's novel focuses much more heavily on learning how to land speaking engagements and how to engage in proper marketing rather than how to effectively deliver speeches. Bringing in the opinions and strategies of a variety of experts, this book offers far more than a one-size-fits-all approach to reaching success; instead, readers are offered multiple different methods to achieve each goal, and are able to pick and choose what will work for them. In short, it is a highly useful book for those who are willing to explore and utilize the tips and strategies it outlines. My favorite aspect of this book was the fact that it was so engaging. The author appears to readers to be interesting, likable, and experienced in the field of his expertise. His "voice" in writing is smooth and articulate; it simultaneously brings forth the positive aspects of his personality. The book has a logical and well-organized structure, and the concepts are well-explained to the extent that beginners and experts alike can engage with the content outlined by Lizotte. Overall, this book has an excellent flow that pulls readers in and holds their attention until beyond the very last page. Aside from one minor punctuation error, there were very few aspects of this book that I felt needed improvement. My only suggestion would be to combine the survey answers from experts into more author-explained sections rather than having the quotes "speak for themselves" on such a regular basis; I would also like to see the author provide more of his own experience and expertise at times rather than relying so heavily on the responses of others. However, while following these suggestions would likely strengthen this book, they are by no means required. In fact, the "lack" of consistency of these aspects did not detract from my reading in any way. In the end, I decided to rate The Speaker's Edge by Ken Lizotte 5 out of 5 stars. Although there are certainly a few ways to improve the book in my eyes, these improvements are merely suggestions rather than solutions to actual errors. As a result, I felt that this book was worthy of a perfect rating. I would recommend this book to anyone in the field of marketing and/or public speaking, as well as anyone who might be interested in these fields. There is no one in particular that I would not recommend this book to; even people without an interest in these topics would likely find this book interesting.

'Funny and readable, [it] will make us all see the world in a very different way' Dr Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People'Brilliant ... if you thought your brain was being gently warmed by the advertising industry, read this book and you'll realise it's being fried' Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2Advertising is selling us a dream, a lifestyle. It promises us fulfilment and tells us where to buy it - from international flights to a vast array of goods we consume like there is no tomorrow. The truth is, if advertising succeeds in keeping us on our current trajectory, there may not be a tomorrow.In Badvertising, Andrew Simms and Leo Murray raise the alarm about an industry that is making us both unhealthy and unhappy, and that is driving the planet to the precipice of environmental collapse in the process.What is the psychological impact of being barraged by thousands of prompts to buy things every day? How does the commercialisation of our public spaces weaken our sense of belonging? How are car manufacturers, airlines and oil companies lobbying to weaken climate action? Examining the devastating impact of advertising on our minds and the planet, Badvertising also crucially explores what we can do to change things for the better.Andrew Simms is the author of several books including Tescopoly, Cancel the Apocalypse and Economics: A Crash Course. Leo Murray co-founded climate action charity Possible, where he is currently Director of Innovation.

This book presents developments and future trends in e-commerce, which is shaped by customers' new digital communication and consumption patterns. Gerrit Heinemann sheds light on e-commerce business models, channel excellence as well as success factors such as digital time advantages and customer centricity. He analyzes the digital challenges and highlights the consequences and opportunities associated with online commerce. Recognized best practices illustrate how successful digital commerce works and what the "lessons learned" of the past years are.The 13th edition describes which new approaches will shape the future of online retail and which developments will remain long-term issues. While, for example, app and smartphone commerce, including mobile payment, continue to be long-running issues, the environmental issue is coming at online commerce with a concentrated charge. This means that people's growing need for more sustainability and consideration for the environment hasnow also arrived in e-commerce. This work is therefore devoted to sustainable e-commerce in the context of online logistics, which runs counter to the new trend towards quick commerce. The topics of climate neutrality and returns management are also increasingly coming into focus. In addition, current topics such as the marketplace theme and social commerce will be explored in greater depth. Furthermore, numerous new legal requirements are taken into account, which place increased obligations on marketplace operators in particular.
