I'm one of those people who hates cold calling, and so having read Bruce's book, I now know why I've been averse to it and what I can do about it. The book is so much more than just cold calling though, it is a step-by-step through the entire sales and referral process. If you are brand new to sales, this book needs to be your bible.

You really will become World-Class if you follow Bruce King's advice" Thomas Power "At last a great book on telemarketing ..it's the complete antidote to the scripted, robotic approach we all suffer. Bruce has created a thinking, practical handbook for real people who want to generate rapport and trust with their clients and not get the 'digital door' slammed on their fingers twenty times an hour." John Donnelly "Well - I didn't like it. I LOVED IT!! Bruce's latest book "Telephone Sales and Appointment setting" is - just as it says on the cover "world class". I've read a fair few sales and marketing books and this one is exceptional. It is simple and easy to read. It has NO waffle, gets right to the core of the issues facing those who want (or don't want) to make cold calls. I dare you to read this and NOT feel motivated, inspired and ready to pick up the phone. I found the worksheets on time management and the results monitor particularly valuable. I also loved the conversation scripts and the section on handling objections is very useful. This book stands out because it really offers something that little bit different, even de-bunks some of the bunkum around sales. In my work supporting great coaches to become successful coaches, I find they resist cold calling and will do almost anything to avoid picking up the phone and speaking to people. This is a book I will definitely be recommending to them." Dr Lisa Turner- CEO Psycademy

In Build Beyond Zero, carbon pioneers Bruce King and Chris Magwood re-envision buildings as one of our most practical and affordable climate solutions instead of a leading driver of climate change. They make a case for a "carbon smart" built environment that absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits. While the industry pursues net zero emissions focused on improving the energy efficiency of buildings, a carbon-smart approach also considers what we make all those buildings with, and the supply chains that deliver all those products and materials. Build Beyond Zero offers an exciting vision of climate-friendly architecture, along with practical advice for professionals working to address the carbon footprint of our built environment.

The book examines the intersection of two philosophical developments which define define contemporary life in the liberal democratic west, considering how democracy has become the only legitimate and publicly defensible regime, while also considering how modern democracy attempts to solve what Leo Strauss called the "theologico-political problem."

King shows how Naipaul modified Western and Indian literary traditions for the West Indies and then the wider world to become an international writer whose subject matter includes the Caribbean, England, India, Africa, the United States, Argentina, and contemporary Islam. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of V.

Discusses literature written by those who have chosen to make England their home since 1948. Ranging through Black and Asian British prose, poetry and drama, and writers including V S Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, and Zadie Smith, the author reveals the development of the literature from writing about immigration to becoming English.

Bruce King towered over the political landscape of New Mexico in the last half of the twentieth century. Born the son of a homesteader in the tiny Santa Fe County farm-and-ranch community of Stanley, King decided in seventh grade to be governor of New Mexico. The story of how he accomplished that goal-three times!-plays out against the tremendous transformations occurring in the society, culture, politics, and business of New Mexico since World War II. When King won his first Santa Fe County Commission seat in 1954 at age 29, running for office was a down-home affair. Politics was personal. But as he served in office and climbed the political ladder toward his lifelong ambition, New Mexico changed. The state's population shifted away from the rural communities to the rapidly expanding cities, while the once-dominant agricultural interests in the legislature yielded to the emerging urban voting blocs. Meanwhile, the challenges of governing grew ever more complex. King's well-recognized skills of mediation and conciliation helped him lead the state through a time of often-bewildering change. This book is rich with colorful stories as King recalls the major events of his career and conveys the human side of campaigning, governing, political deal-making, and sparring with the press. He also talks about his friendships and encounters with many of the leading national and state political figures of our time, including President Bill Clinton, President Ronald Reagan, President Jimmy Carter, Senator Pete Domenici, and then Energy Secretary Bill Richardson. A classic tale of political intuitions spiced by New Mexico flavor as unique as Hatch green chile, "Cowboy in the Roundhouse" is lively reading. As famed mystery writer Tony Hillerman writes in his introduction to the book, "While I count myself among the many who wanted Bruce King to write an autobiography, I doubt if any of us had much hope he'd get around to doing it. Now he has and it's even better than we'd expected." **8 Charles Poling is a journalist and author who could not remember a time when Bruce King was not governor. Poling writes fiction and true stories about the history, business, politics and daily life of New Mexico. He currently makes his home in Placitas, where the past, present, and future blend together and resonate with the peculiar harmony and dissonance known as New Mexico.
