Message Not Received: Why Business Communication Is Broken and How to Fix It

Thank You

Thank you for buying Message Not Received. I hope that the preceding pages will make you think differently about technology and how we communicate at work. Beyond achieving some level of enjoyment and education (always admirable goals in reading a nonfiction book), I also hope that you can apply your newfound knowledge at work.

And perhaps you are willing to help me. I am a self-employed author, writer, speaker, and consultant. I’m not independently wealthy. I don’t have a big public relations machine working to get my name out there. My professional livelihood depends in large part on my reputation, coupled with referrals and recommendations from people like you. Collectively, these factors enable me to make a living.

Each of these actions is very helpful:

• Write a review of the book on amazon.com, bn.com, and/or goodreads.com. The more honest you are, the better.
• Mention the book on your blog, Facebook, Reddit, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other sites you frequent.
• Recommend the book to anyone who might find it interesting.
• Give it as a gift.
• If you know people who still work in newspapers, magazines, television, or industry groups, I’d love a referral or reference. Social media hasn’t entirely replaced traditional media.
• Visit www.philsimon.com and read, watch, and listen to your heart’s content. I frequently blog, post videos, record podcasts, and create other interesting forms of content on a wide variety of subjects.
• Check out my other books.
