It's no good having a good idea if you cannot communicate it to someone else. John Simmons, in this stimulating and readable book, demonstrates how we can write and use words more creatively and persuasively in business today.

John Simmons' method of writing powerfully for business is based on his "WE, ME, THEM and IT" model, which over the past 25 years has been adopted by tens of thousands of marketers and other professionals around of the world.
