Roger Parker is a real pro when it comes to book proposals and the publishing business. Working with him
online, completing a detailed table of contents for my next book took less than an hour, when my previous
book took several weeks. Roger makes it that easy and it's actually fun too!

Roger's presentation, “Positioning Your Store for First-Time Buyers,” was a highlight of our convention and a
turning point in our channel reorganization efforts. He made his points in a very visual, entertaining way
which our dealers appreciated. Dealers left wanting more.
