The global, go-to guide that started the Value Selling
Revolution-now updated for today's market "Value" is about more
than just price. Good salespeople understand that and know what
differentiates their products from that of competitors. In the
first edition of Value-Added Selling, industry guru Tom Reilly
tackled the most common problem that salespeople faced: overcoming
customer concerns about pricing. That book went on to become the
global, go-to guide for value-added selling. Since then, the
industry-and the world-has changed dramatically. Developments in
technology, including price comparison apps and search engines, now
provide consumers with more information than ever, making it much
harder to value and sell your product. Additionally, millennials,
who now comprise the largest population in the workforce, prefer to
do things differently than prior generations. This updated fourth
edition of Reilly's classic guide examines the latest trends and
technology that have impacted the market and provides expert advice
on leveraging current technology to increase sales. Value-Added
Selling, 4th Edition offers proven strategies and tactics to help
you not only close more sales but improve repeat business without
compromising on price. You'll learn how to anticipate the needs,
wants, and concerns of buyers from the very beginning of the sales
process. The book shows how to compete more profitably by selling
value, not price.
A distinctively realistic 'all killer - no filler' fictional
biography that bristles with controversy, sex, love, civil war,
slaughter, intrigue, redemption and - perhaps the ultimate crime of
all - regicide. Every effort has been made to accurately weave real
people around a narrative of historical precision. Meticulously
biographical in its substance, the plot is predetermined by a
landscape of true events that both enthral and educate. Perhaps
controversially, the subject is credibly portrayed as a tender
father, an admirable man and a reluctant overachiever. The
unrelenting pace of the action truly reflects Cromwell's compelling
life story. Think you know Oliver Cromwell? Think again.

Film production veteran Tom Reilly has worked on the sets of
critically praised films and commercial blockbusters for more than
three decades?including seventeen years alongside director Woody
Allen. In "The Big Picture," he explores the art and the craft of
filmmaking from the vantage point of someone actually running the
movie set. Using examples unlike any of those in other books on
film, Reilly exposes not only the power and the personalities, but
the secrets of the pros. He shares the insights he gleaned while
working with more than sixty Oscar-winning professionals?from Al
Pacino, Robert De Niro, and Vanessa Redgrave to Sydney Pollack,
Sven Nykvist, and Barbra Streisand.
In these fifty entertaining, illuminating short essays, Reilly
invites you to join him on the film set. What is it like to shoot a
love scene? How do you do a full body burn? What is it like to film
in the Everglades or in a morgue? What is blocking or matching, and
how long should a script be? How do you decide when to build a set?
Why is the color palette so critical? Is night shooting worth the
suffering?
"The Big Picture "delivers the surprising answers to these and
other fascinating questions about what it takes to make a feature
film, offering a glimpse into what it's like when the lights are
bright, the camera is rolling, and the moviemakers are calling the
shots.

The publication of "Cromwell: An Honourable Enemy" fifteen years
ago sparked off a storm of controversy with many historians
publically deriding the divisive and groundbreaking study.
Dissatisfied with the counter-explanations of these
seventeenth-century experts concerning Cromwell s complicity in war
crimes in Ireland, amateur historian Tom Reilly now throws down the
gauntlet to his critics and issues a challenge to professional
historians everywhere. In this entirely fresh work Reilly tackles
his academic detractors head-on with original and radical insights.
Breaking the mould of the genre, for the first time ever, the
author publishes the actual contemporary documents (usually the
privileged preserve of historians) so the authentic primary source
documents can be interpreted at first hand by the general reader,
without prejudice. Among the author s fresh discoveries is the
revelation of the identity of two (unscrupulous) contemporary
individuals who, after exhaustive research, seem to be personally
responsible for creating the myth that Cromwell deliberately killed
unarmed men, women and children at both Drogheda and Wexford, and
that a 1649 London newspaper reported that Cromwell s penis had
been shot off at Drogheda. Whatever your view on Cromwell, this
book is persuasive. Conventional wisdom is challenged. Lingering
myths are finally dispelled."

The story is set in the Thatcher era with the struggle of
industrial reform and the threat of the Falklands War. The IRA is
taking advantage of the political turmoil by increasing terrorist
attacks on the British mainland such as the Brighton bombing.
Immigration is also becoming a major issue as Britain became the
haven for social security. A new organization has sprung up, "The
National White Front." Their objective is to bring down the
Thatcher government. What better way than to join forces with the
IRA. "White Light" is the code name for what is to be the most
controversial terrorist attack in the history of Great Britain. The
main character, Taylor Armstrong, at forty-three, is going through
a midlife crisis, with his marriage seriously in trouble as the
result of being a workaholic and his pursuit of power and wealth,
believing that money solves everything. He is handsome and has no
trouble attracting the opposite sex, sometimes to his detriment.
Armstrong is pressing for a main board appointment with his
company, Global Inc., a multinational conglomerate, on the
acquisition trail. His new assignment takes him to Malaysia to
investigate the financials of Global's latest acquisition, ATE,
only to find himself in a real-life drama where sex, murder, and
drugs are everyday events. His outrageous womanizing only adds to
his troubles when he uncovers the real meaning of White Light. He
now knows too much and his life is in danger
