    ...and the great news is - it's as true today as it was then (even more so).


    Steve


    P.S. If the inter web and all its shenanigans are getting you down. Desperately trying to get traffic (at hellish costs). Baffling, expensive, never ending, constantly outbidding seo nonsense (and waiting months for it to kick in). Endless and mostly aimless emails reaching all the freebie seekers,who don't intend buying anything "cos everything is free on the net"...

    Just start sending out a few decent letters or flyers. With almost instant, measurable results. Do them well, and the money and profits start cascading in...wonderful.

    Yes, a great Ad.

    It would be fine with me if we make all the threads about the late great Mr Ogilvy.

    Here are the main books.

    "Confessions of an Advertising Man" - David Ogilvy

    "Ogilvy on Advertising" - David Ogilvy

    The King of Madison Avenue: David Ogilvy and the Making of Modern Advertising - a biography by Kenneth Roman

    And good news, soon to be re - published on 6 Dec 12 -

    "The Unpublished David Ogilvy" - David Ogilvy

    Previous editions of this book are selling for up to $634.21. The reissue will be around $17.00.

    (might be a good idea to get your beloved one to buy it for your christmas present - just say "Darling, forget the cologne, this is the greatest ever investment for 17 bucks." Read and apply the techniques and buy a chateau in France. Be cool wouldn't it? Get the book and do what Ogilvy did and buy the house).

      Steve,

      I know the book is awesome.... But, the title should be changed...

      "The Unpublished David Ogilvy" - David Ogilvy

      to

      "The Once Published David Ogilvy" - David Ogilvy



      God Bless,

      Rich Beck

    There's a photo in Ogilvy on Advertising of his castle--I think it's in France? It was amazing. Master salesman and businessman.

    And the real salesmanship started when he very successfully sold Aga's in the UK.

    He did publish a guide "How To Sell Aga's" I did have it, but lost it when a computer blew itself up.

    If anyone has it - it would be great to read it again.

    Cheers Andrew, brilliant to read it again, the way he handles the "objections" is top notch.

    First time that I heard about David Ogilvy. Newbie here. Another man to follow (read or listen to his works, I mean). Very wise insights, I wished he could speak faster though, but nevertheless, I am now a fan.
