Business Lessons with Sharkmaster, Jr.
By Randy Clay

      Who better to write about business management than a man who has genuinely and productively lived it? In Business Lessons with Sharkmaster, Jr., Randy Clay steps out of business Guru Harvey Mackay’s shadow to write his own book on business management. (Mackay is known for his book, Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive.)

       Instead of going off to college, Clay started a screen printing business that eventually grew into a sign and logo company for the oil and gas industries. Aware of his lack of higher education, Clay points out that one can hire others to do the things one cannot, such as bookkeeping.

      Clay gives advice on handling customers, sales, clients, and all that comes with owning a business. I am greatly impressed on how personal Clay becomes with his clients (It’s not WHO you know, but WHAT you know about who you know). Most businesses want a customer to spend her money and move on. Another impressive point is keeping a Rolodex and using it often (The most important word for business people is: R-O-L-O-D-E-X). Even in this technical age, a Rolodex still has its place.

      Business Lessons with Sharkmaster, Jr. is effortless in understanding and generous in the amount of information given. Just one evening with this book and one can’t help but come away with a new vision. I know I have. My copy now has its place my desk with my reference books.
