Product Description
Businesses can plateau, stall, or stagnate...without the owners or key executives even realizing it. The purpose of The Sticking Point Solution is to help entrepreneurs and executives recognize the ways in which their businesses may be stuck, and to then give them tools for getting unstuck and enjoying exponential growth. To achieve this, Jay will help you to identify the nine “sticking points” that keep entrepreneurs and executives alike grinding just to survive, instead of growing and thriving. Unlocking that true business potential and diagnosing the specific issues that each reader/business owner/entrepreneur/employee faces is the mission of this book. The results: freedom from stagnation and stalling; new levels of profitability and success; and a much greater sense of control and pleasure from running the enterprise.

A terriffic book December 20, 2009
H. Khirala
This is by far one of the best business books I have ever read. It shows the business owner how to use simple rules of leverage to grow any business. A must read. Much better than other business books including those by Dan Kennedy. Based on this book, I was able to uncover hidden opportunities to grow my business and instantly raised $6000 in 2 weeks from 2 private investors! Thanks Jay.
Very Practical and Insightful December 12, 2009
Kim Skildum-Reid (Sydney, Australia)
This is my second review of a productivity/business book today and I am pleased to say that, unlike the other one (168 Hour Week - don't buy it!), this book is very, very good.
I read a lot, and a lot of books in this genre, and I believe The Sticking Point Solution is one of the best. It takes some very interesting, provocative, and insightful angles on situations and I have got a lot out of it, in contrast to most in this genre, where I'm 2-3 chapters in and thinking, "seen it all before". Instead, I took pages upon pages of notes while reading this book. Some were big ideas, some small, but all actionable and realistic.
One of the things I liked best about this book is that it is totally devoid of inane, patronising rah-rah - "you can do it, I know you can!!", "you are the architect of your own future", etc. I understand that some people prefer cheerleading to ideas and really do need a way up from rock bottom, but I'm not one of those people. I really appreciate that this book is directed at smart, motivated professionals.
I'm beginning to sound like one of those suspiciously positive (astroturfing?) reviewers, but I'm not. If you read any of my other reviews, you'll see I have no problem taking the mick out of terrible books. I just really liked this one.
Get Unstuck for the Upturn. October 16, 2009
Dennis Erokan (California)
We are all waiting for the business upturn. The Sticking Point Solution by Jay Abraham is a book that gives you lots of ideas on how to get back into marketing for the upturn, even if you have to start your own up-turn! This starts off with a section that is inspirational. He wants us all to realize that if things are going to start happening, then we have to make them happen.
What Abraham does is go through all the strategies and very specific action items across a broad spectrum of marketing and communications ideas. If you're looking for a book that gives you lots of ideas and then answers the question of "What do I do next," The Sticking Point Solution is your book.
My copy now has so many bookmarks pointing to places I want to read again. There are specific ideas of how to build a strategy for growth, how to do consultative sales and even how to improve cash flow. He clearly explains how to take care of clients. But he stresses having an overall plan. That's something I agree with on every level.
Abraham says that there are 9 ways to move your business forward. The nice thing is that at the end of each chapter he gives a list of bullet point reminders and an immediate action step. That really is the good thing about this book. He starts off at a high strategic level, gives an excellent example of a company he worked with, then not only does he give you a list of things to do but he makes sure you realize the first thing you should do.
In his chapter about sales and marketing, he takes you through identifying how to sell to new clients- including key points on how to "Change Your Message: Make Whatever You Offer Irresistible," how to do consultative sales, and how to advertise what you are selling. Then he even gives you "Ten Terrific Advertising Headlines That Delivered Great Business Results." That's just in the Selling Chapter!
This is a book that could very well help to Unstick you! At this stage in the economic recovery, I think we can all use a dose of this type of thinking. Ok, now go buy The Sticking Point, 9 Ways to Move Your Business from Stagnation to Stunning Growth In Tough Economic Times by Jay Abraham.

Actually, I have not finished the book. I just know Jay Abraham to be number one in his field of coaching people to success in their businesses which, I assume, spills over into their personal lives also.
I have been interested in Jay's works for about 20 years since I first heard about and ordered a set of his tapes from NIGHTINGALE-CONANT. Thanks for asking.
