Martyn Morgan, Managing Partner, QualitySolicitors Talbots “This simple no nonsense approach to business development and practical advice regarding customer service provides a recipe for success for any business regardless of size.” Wendy Atkin-Smith, Managing Director, Viking River Cruises UK Limited "It is worth getting this book for the 21 common sense business development truths alone. Painfully brutal in places, these truths should serve as a much needed wake up call, and I have never met a business that wouldn't benefit from applying them honestly to their situation. Ian Cooper has done UK Ltd a great service by spelling them out with such clarity, simplicity and power." Steve Pipe FCA, author of "The UK's best accountancy practices" and "Stress proof your business and your life" and former UK Entrepreneur of the Year "I thought I knew business development inside out.

If you have a business that needs a boost, then it shows how anyone can become a ninja at business development".

Packed with amusing anecdotes and practical tips, everyone in business would benefit from the lessons it provides. I challenge anyone to read this book and not find at least one area they can improve". Craig Holt, Chief Executive, QualitySolicitors “Ian Cooper's book is packed with jaw-dropping anecdotes of opportunities lost and custom going begging because suppliers of goods and services have forgotten who their customers are and what they actually want? Ian does not preach or hector but his insights into how business is getting it wrong are delivered with his usual gentle humour". Len Tingle, BBC Political Editor - Yorkshire, veteran BBC broadcaster / writer on business issues. "Considered, down to earth and straight to the point. This guide is a true testament to Ian Cooper's knowledgable and no nonsense approach". Brett Dennis - Marketing strategist for Every1. “Ian Co Show Less
