“No Longer Awkward” is the definitive guidebook for professionals who want long-term relationships with their clients. Inevitably, those clients face divorce, aging, death, dementia, retirement, terminal illness, and other life changes. Yet professionals are never taught what to do and say to truly support them. And their clients will switch until they find someone who can. Avoid the well-intentioned mistakes most people make. Gain effective skills and protocols to guide clients through these tough times in ways that others can’t because they don’t know how. Find out what to write in condolence cards for different situations, what books to recommend, and what your clients wish you would do and say. Set yourself apart in ways that make a difference. Learn to do the right thing when your clients need it most, and you will also build life-time loyalty and referrals.

Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships by Thom Singer is based on the premise that people do business with people they know and like. In a world where more and more products and services are commoditized, having the advantage of being liked will become more and more important to career development. The examples given are things that anyone in any profession can do to stand apart from their competition. The strategies presented appear deceptively simple, though they are basic; few professional businesspeople actually follow through and do these things. You must take action to succeed.
