  • Persuasive Communication: Get What You Want Without a Gun! on May 12, 2011
    star star star star star
    The following is a special article about Persuasive Communications written by Veronza Bowers. As I write this from 37 years deep inside a Federal Prison the first thing that comes to my mind is : Warning: If you are committed to being a thief, a swindler, a flam-flam man/woman, a drug dealer, in a word, if you are one who wish to "get ahead" at the expense of others, all for "self", then you should not read this book, you should not buy it, and most definitely you should not attempt to steal this book. This book is not for you! On the other hand, if you want to get what you want without a gun and stay out of prison and possibly make a better life for yourself, then do yourself and family and loved ones a big favor: buy this book, study it and apply these lessons and teachings and principles in your business dealings and in your personal relationships...your life will be better for it. When I let a few of my fellow prisoners read this book, their comments ranged from the "Wow!" to "Man! Why didn't someone hip me to these concepts before I started a life of crime?!" Bookstore shelves are filled with more "Self Help" books and manuals than you can shake a stick at. For the most part, Self Help books main focus is to give you information, inside "secrets" to guide you in helping you to help yourself, improve your ability, arm you with more knowledge to help you to do this or that...and in the final analysis, it is for self. Persuasive Communication---”Get What You Want Without a Gun", the product of the author's life's work, his passion, takes the very concept of "self help" to a whole "new" dimension. When Mr. Maynard M. Garfield (Garf, as he is affectionately called), says: "Some people like to grow flowers, I like to grow people", he really means it. From the very first chapter in which Garf renamed his company to "Persuasive Communications, Inc.", through 'til the last chapter, he hammers home the idea that it's not just about selling and buying, but rather it's more about giving and thus receiving. Of that "golden thread" that weaves throughout, Garf puts it this way:" Your advocacy has substance:it fulfills a need of yours, but it also fulfills needs of the individuals you are trying to persuade. in the long run your proposal will benefit both parties." "This work has only one claim for its existence and that is to fulfill the need to help you realize a higher level of proficiency in Persuasive Communications." Thank YOU for sharing your life's work with us, Garf.
