Last week Verne Harnish’s newsletter [sign up here] reminded his readers of the opportunity to sign up for  Dr. Robert Cialdini’s first ever 90 minute LIVE video webcast Nov 17, noon -- 1:30pm ET. Having had the opportunity to see Dr Robert Cialdini speak at the Growth Summits, listen and read his books, I can assure you that when Verne offers that he is the leading expert on Influence and Persuasion, and as an author considered by critics one of the top 100 business books of all time and by most in the Top 10, he is on target. If you have the opportunity, consider signing up for his video webcast tomorrow.
