			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you wondering how I can have a back cover to a book that isn&#8217;t written yet? Some folks will tell you that it&#8217;s an important exercise to write the back cover first for a couple of reasons:</p>
<p>1. Coming up with what others will say about your book can help you focus on what will actually go in it.<br />
2. It can serve as a catalyst for the process of putting your actual content together.</p>
<p>Please note: The quotes in this post are (currently) fictional. They are representative of who/what I&#8217;d like to see on the real back cover of my book, but I may only get my wife, son, and a cousin or two to endorse it. You never know.</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Talk to the Human &#8211; real world techniques for getting communication off-line and on-point.</span></p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s a taste of what you&#8217;ll learn from Talk to the</strong> <strong>Human™:</strong></p>
<p>- Leading-edge tactics for turning leading-edge communications into real, live results-driven dialog</p>
<p>- 3 Keys for developing better communications by building a better foundation, preparing for success, and succeeding in the moment</p>
<p>- Dozens of methods to get results today in your business through better communication</p>
<p><strong>What real Humans are saying about Talk to the</strong> <strong>Human™:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Get off of the E-train and back to real life dialog. If you&#8217;re looking for a strategic advantage in your live business communications, read this book&#8221; &#8211; <em>Business Week</em></p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re looking for real methods to be successful in face-to-face communications, this book is a must read&#8221; &#8211; Bruce Tulgan, author of <em>Not Everyone Gets A Trophy</em></p>
<p>&#8220;If you buy only one book today, this is the book!&#8221; &#8211; Scott Adams, cartoonist, author, and creator of <em>Dilbert™</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Rob does a masterful job of teaching you methods to know and understand your audience, prepare your message, and deliver it professionally and memorably. If I would have had this 10 years ago, I&#8217;d be $1,000,000 ahead today.&#8221; Alan Weiss, author of <em>Million Dollar Consulting</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Rob is very Funny&#8221; &#8211; Darren LaCriox, comedian, 2001 World Champion of Public Speaking, and author of  <em>Laugh and Get Rich</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Rob&#8217;s lesson&#8217;s resonate with the speaker in all of us.&#8221; &#8211; Darren Hardy, Publisher and Editorial Director of <em>Success</em> Magazine</p>
<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;</p>
<p>Clearly (to me) this needs work. I&#8217;ll probably refine it as I go along, and when it&#8217;s a bit better, I&#8217;ll post a new version (maybe as a .jpg to add some color and realism to it).</p>
<p>By the way, I mentioned the quotes were fictional, but here&#8217;s a secret: The <a title="Darren LaCroix" href="http://www.darrenlacroix.com" target="_blank">Darren LaCroix</a> quote is <strong>genuine</strong>. He posted it on my Facebook page a few weeks ago.</p>
