First, thanks so much for buying my book. Since you're here, you already know that there is a  PowerPoint presentation included with the book. I use this presentation to sell the membership website concept to clients, partners, and others who are interested - basically anyone who'll listen!

Do not underestimate the power of the presentation. Done correctly, it can help you close a development or partnership deal that is far superior to selling "website design" or "web services".

This audio walks you though the presentation and I give some insight as to why certain slides are in there.

Again, thanks for buying my book!
