This book contains powerful techniques to help you sell your ideas to those with approval power. Youll find tips from designers, writers, marketers and other creative professionals, along with meaty advice from selling and branding gurus. In no time, youll be able to convince those who hold the purse strings that your ideas are worth pursuing and investing in. "Designers have a little known secret: Designing something is the easy part, getting others, specifically clients, to embrace that design is the real hard part. Harrison has put together dozens of tips that, if applied correctly, independently or in unison, will help you get those great design ideas approved." —Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio, authors of Graphic Design, Referenced
