Compose clear, incisive questions
Write easy-to-follow directions
Ensure response to your questionnaire
Analyze and evaluate the data

Cox has written a practical, step-by-step manual to help you get the answers you're looking for. The author includes examples of good (and bad) ways to ask for information, samples of pre-questionnaire letters and follow-up forms, and a checklist for you to use in evaluating your survey.

Book Description

"To succeed today, businesses must be online!" scream the headlines. Owners and managers of smaller businesses know they need a Web site but often don't have the time to design and operate one themselves--or the budget to hire a team of experts. What they need is someone who can explain the ropes without making them feel inadequate for not understanding HTML and other confusing techno-babble.

The Get-Started Guide to E-Commerce is written for them--busy people who are looking for reasonably priced, effective, and straight-talking ways to help their companies join the new era of online business. This step-by-step guide discusses:

* The varying levels of e-commerce, and the promise and drawbacks of each
* Strategies--technical, legal, and financial--for actually getting online
* Techniques to keep costs low and still pack a marketing punch
* What not to do--including eye-opening information about stock slumps and true stories about a slew of unsuccessful online ventures.

The Get-Started Guide to E-Commerce helps newcomers to e-commerce maximize their potential online--and avoid joining the ranks of high-tech has-beens.

The Get Started Guide to E- Commerce.......2001-06-07

I had a very limited understanding of computers, and this book was very easy for me to understand.The writer made an intimidating topic very simple and now I think I'm an expert.

The Get Started Guide To E-Commerce.......2001-06-05

I bought three books to use in order to get fully acquainted with the electronic commerce field. Zilliox's was clearly the winner, and as a result of its broad(er) coverage, I was able to get everything I needed from this one title. It ended up being the only book that I actually used to really get started and implementing our web strategy. It's well written, concise and clear.

As a mid level manager, and working with executives in order to coordinate our small firm's entry onto the Web, I needed a concise guide and "how to" on the topic. This was the only book that I really needed; I'll donate the others to the library. The flow of information, website methodology and hints were very good. The author's writing style is inviting and pitched at the right level for someone who understands what the Internet is about, but who needs a better and deeper insight into how to approach it given the myriad choices that every business person is faced with. I rank the book at the top of the lot.

Making Wood Signs.......2006-11-02

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in signs. I rate the book the best Spielman has written on this subject to date.

Excellent Book for Learning SignMaking.......2005-09-09

I used the original book about 1986 and was able to make signs just like the professionals since I already had graphic training and experience. The college courses I took for graphic design did not go very far into actually producing the final product. This book made the difference. And now its even better and bigger than its predecessor.

Useful, practicaal reference book.......2002-04-21

A wonderful instructional/reference book for any woodworking hobbyist or for those wanting to make wood signs as a professional business. There are hundreds of photos along with the informative text. There are sections on: handcarved signs, power tool use signs, sandblasted signs, as well as traditional and unique techniques and tactics in the craft.

Great info on national account management........1999-09-08

An excellent book on national account management that emphasizes 'customer delight' as a primary sales goal. I like how the author covers the foundations and then moves through planning to implementing the account plan. Lots of charts, tools, and minicases clearly illustrate the concepts. A must-read for the sales professional!
