Disclosures

Book Review Policy: As a publisher of a weblog, I am often asked to review books. I am happy to accept and read books on sales, sales management, business, technology, and science under the following guidelines:

  • Review: I understand that the author has poured their heart and soul into their book, and as such, I reserve the right to not review any book sent to me for review. I believe it would be impolite to say anything negative about an author’s work, if I have accepted the book under the premise that I would review it and recommend the book to my readers. In such cases, I reserve the right to say nothing, writing no review at all.
  • Cover and Link: Regardless of whether or not I review the book, I will include the cover and the link to Amazon.com in one of the sidebars (On My Kindle, What I am Reading Now, What I Am Reading Now—Sales, or What I Am Re-Reading). This link will remain live and active while I am reading the book.
  • Preferred Format: My preferred format is the Amazon Kindle. It is very helpful to have the book sent in Kindle format through Amazon.com. If a Kindle version is not available, a soft cover version of the book is preferred and recommended.

For book review inquires, please email me at anthony [at] thesalesblog dot com.

Comments Policy

Hat tip to Fabius Maximus for the inspiration, ideas and the content for this comment policy.

Comments must be:

  1. Civil (it is okay to disagree, but don’t be disagreeable).
  2. Legal (avoid libel and copyright infringement)
  3. Topical (if you are really looking for a link to build traffic, ask for a link. If your blog or your website is relevant to sales people, I may add your link without burying it in the comments).
  4. Brief, but not too brief (if what you have to say is relevant, say it. But try to keep it to 250 – 300 words, so I have time to read and approve it.
