Sales Savvy: Self-Help for Small Business (Beat Big Business with Value-Add) is a sales handbook that helps small business people improve their ability to sell 'value-add'. To beat Big Business, we have to sell the customer on 'the little things' about our product or service that makes us different. Sales Savvy provides the reader with real tools - practical tools - that can be used to demonstrate that which differentiates us. Sales Savvy teaches the reader how to sell their expertise or craftsmanship for greater profits and, in turn, develop a reputation for being "More Expensive and Worth it". Sales Savvy is of value to the new salesperson learning the fundamentals (like prospecting, soliciting referrals, etc) as well as the seasoned veteran looking for a new sales technique (like 'Yes/Yes' questions). It is full of sales anecdotes and real-life experiences that make the lessons enjoyable and more memorable. Its the kind of book that you give to friends, employees, and other business associates.

Analyses and reflects upon the influence of history, research and procedures upon contemporary public health practice. This book explores the debates surrounding the meaning of public health and looks at the policy changes that are reshaping its context. It examines the contributions that epidemiology and health economics make to public health.

The theme of this collection of essays is partnerships between health and local government. Such partnerships are not new. Nor is discussion of the merits (or otherwise) of collaboration between the two sectors. The history of collaboration between these two sectors of the public services has been chequered to say the least; indeed, the boundary between health and social care has been described as a 'Berlin Wall'. However, New Labour's ascension to power in 1997 has rekindled an avid interest in this issue. The government's emphasis on partnerships and collaboration has been projected as a key element of its 'Third Way' philosophy. Partnership working in particular has been viewed as the most appropriate means of addressing endemic, obdurate social ills, such as social exclusion, poor health, poverty, and low educational standards.
