One more time Jan 24 AAAAAAAAAAAAA

aaaaaaaaaa

I first got the inspiraction for Grail C onspiracies when I visited La Rochelle, in 1990, and heard the legends of the Knights Templar and their roles as alleged Guardians, and the stories of what and how they spirited their treasures oout of France ahead of the attacks byu the greedy King of France and the Pope, intimidated. After a lot more reading, and visiting or revisiitng the places in the book–Oxford, London, the Germand and Austrian Alps, and Washington (which I already knew well from my years livng in the area),

What was that grail that the Templars allegedly guarded? I wondereed (as many many before me) Was it the legendary cup, or something else? Was the myth of the Grail “disinformation” for something else? While I was pondering and studying, Dan Brown came out iwth his DA VINCI CODE (which did pretty well in the market! Though I thought then and still do that he got the answer wrong.)

Now attemtionmg to post on a page Jan 24 f

Speculative thrillers

These speculative thrillers flow from my exploration of the filmy boundary between science and the untapped potentials of the human mind and psyche . . . and the millenia-old conspiracies to keep us from discovering the possibilities  dormant within us all.

THE GRAIL CONSPIRACIES

The Grail: Not what we think it is. Not where we've been looking. The most powerful force ever known . . .  a dormant power within the human mind that can direct and focus energies from other dimensions!

In cities around the world, flash-mobs composed of an “army” of angry, rootless kids riot nightly in what they term “pre-celebrations” of the up-coming concert of Twisted Messiah, an international rock group with nihilistic neo-Nazi overtones, and a rumored worldwide political agenda.

An e-mail arrives, offering “the truth” about what happened to your uncle, an OSS agent missing since D-Day, 1944. Your family has long been convinced there was a government cover-up of where and why he died.

Following up that e-mail, you go to the old French port of La Rochelle, where Paul was last seen. The promised contact doesn’t show, but you learn that he may have uncovered what was “perhaps the most powerful force or weapon ever known. Or perhaps even the Holy Grail,” (which they tell you) “is a coded reference to the highest human potential.”

In London, a man flashing apparent CIA credentials advises you to back off your search for information on your uncle, implying that the “chatter” picked up from a “certain terrorist group” (clearly Twisted Messiah), indicates they are also on the trail of Paul Tapscott and what he turned up . . . and hence on your trail, as well. “You are swimming in a sea of sharks.”

THE LIFE AFTER LIFE CONSPIRACY

They say we only go around once in life. But what if?

What if life has changed . . . for a few?

What if today's emerging bio-tech and regenerative medical technologies --- including the ability to regrow and implant body parts and organs --- offer the chance for another whole new go-round in life to a select, secretive few . . .  a chance to come back, as one of them puts it, into "healthy, horny 21-year old bodies complete with all our accumulated savvy from this lifetime"?

What if the project is almost successful . . .but  opens dangerous doors . . . doors that cannot be closed?

 Business and career self-help

These career how-to books are drawn from my earlier "day-job" as a management consultant, part of which involved developing workshops and sales training materials for various Fortune Top 50 firms.

For an more information on these books . as well as links to posts my sales blog, www.SellingFaceToFace.com 

HOW TO SELL FACE-TO-FACE: SURVIVAL GUIDE

The Survival Guide is short (126 pages) and to-the-point, focusing on the need-to-know for someone getting started in the process of finding prospects and making face-to-face sales calls. It's short enough to be read in one sitting, but packed with practical ideas to guide you through the first weeks of refining and selling your product and service.

It's especially attuned to the needs of career-changers and people going off on their own, including consultants, free-agents, and independent contractors.

Looking for a new job, or exploring a new field?  The how-to tips will guide you through refining your "product" (your key abilities), and in working face-to-face with potential employers to find the specific needs that exist, and how your skills will fill those needs.


SELLING 101 -- Third Edition

This third edition of SELLING 101 is a revised and refocused look at the practical how-to, taking the user through the process of finding viable prospects; working with gatekeepers and screens; getting appointments; making face to face sales calls; using a consultative selling approach to build the prospect's awareness of needs, and how your product or service will best fill those needs; handling objections and questions; and closing the sale.

SELLING 101 is based on a sales training workshop developed for experienced sales professionals, and covers in significantly more detail than the Survival Guide.

SALES PRESENTATIONS AND DEMONSTRATIONS: Self-Instructional Handbook

This focuses on the practical how-to of presenting or demonstrating in front of the prospect, as well as the very important matter of reading (and sending) non-verbal messages.

It also addresses the essential point that demonstrations, presentations, proposals, free-trials, discounts and other special deals are "proof sources," given for a specific, defined purpose, agreed-upon in advance with the prospective buyer. Unless the prospect is willing to make that up-front commitment, then it usually makes little sense for the sales person to proceed.
