Step 1:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Reality Sells: How To Bring Customers Back Again And Again By Marketing Your Genuine Story

by Andrew Corbus and Bill Guertin
WBusiness Books, Publishers

Why don't companies tell the truth in their advertising or marketing? Is it because they want to say what everyone wants to hear? Or is it that they don't know what their "genuine story" is?

In this fascinating study of Authenticity, Andrew Corbus and Bill Guertin reveal the Four Laws of Authenticity, and give entrepreneurs and business owners specific examples of how successful companies worldwide are using these Laws to reap the benefits of "telling it like it is". The quick read of Reality Sells is a blueprint for your enterprise to find its genuine story, how to market that story to the buying public, and how to transfer that story to the front-line staff who are in charge of delivering the promises you're making.

• "In Reality Sells the authors help each of us to see--and feel--the power of Authenticity. And it's an idea that is needed everywhere. Too many marketers fail in their slick, manipulative ways. It's time to wake up to what works--and that's a genuine and sincere approach to customers. This book will get you there." John G. Miller, author of the QBQ! book and Flipping the Switch
• "Understanding how your business is different and how to profit from it has never been clearer. Be yourself, and market it. Reality Sells shows you how." Jack Canfield, Co-author of the Chicken Soup for The Soul® series
