Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends

by Tim Sanders

Crown Publishing Group | July 22, 2003 | Trade Paperback

Are you wondering what the next killer app will be? Do you want to know how you can maintain and add to your value during these rapidly changing times? Are you wondering how the word love can even be used in the context of business?

Instead of wondering, read this book and find out how to become a lovecat-a nice, smart person who succeeds in business and in life.

How do you become a lovecat? By sharing your intangibles. By that I mean:
Your knowledge: everything that comes from all the books that I'll encourage you to devour.
Your network: the collection of friends and contacts you now have, which I'll teach you how to grow and nurture.
Your compassion: that human warmth you already possess-in these pages I'll convince you that you can show it freely at the office.

What happens when you do all this?
* You become a rich source of information to all around you.
* You are seen as a person with valuable insight.
* You are perceived as generous to a fault, producing surprise and delight.
* You double your business intelligence in one year.
* You triple your network of personal relationships in two years.
* You quadruple the number of colleagues in your life who love you like family.

In short, you become one of those amazing, outstanding people to whom everyone turns, who leads rather than follows, who never runs out of ideas, contacts, or friendship.

Here's the real scoop: Nice guys don't finish last. They rule!

    All you need is love!

    Just a little simplistic, however, nothing wrong with making simple concepts useful, on the contrary, that requires great intellect and creativity. Success is a 3 ways avenue according to Tim sanders... your knowledge and how you use it, your network and your compassion are their names. To use them wisely is what makes a difference in life and in order to do just that, you must bring the to conciouss levels all the time... read, read, read says Tim, that is if you want to be a good player. I enjoyed every aspect of his writing. If you're intending to bring yourself to the next level, don't let this book pass you on... and "Always give" might be the bottom line here.

    A highly recommended read for professionals inspired to lead!!

    Being known as a person who adds value to a person's day, a person's business, or a person's career is a sure fire way to be remembered.

    For those business people and professionals who are already inclined to care about their clients and colleagues, this book presents a compelling reason to work harder at finding new ways to express ourselves to the people we work with.

    Love Cats Rule

    I have always been a lovecat but never had it described as Tim does. Improve your knowledge, expand and share your network, but the kicker is ~ do it honestly and with compassion!

    The book is easy to read and delivers a positive, up-beat message! The average reader will digest this in a weekend, but I predict that you will come back to it over and over again.

From the Critics

"Tim Sanders shows us that being a 'lovecat' is a great business strategy and I wholeheartedly agree. This book teaches us the value of relationships in the workplace, and it's rich with practical, effective strategies for enhancing and developing them." -Philip C. McGraw, Ph.D., author of Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters

"This is not an 'easy' book. It is a genuine original. (And I know how overused that word is.) It will-should-must change your life. I know Tim Sanders-and he and this book are for real. Believe it. And become a (wildly successful) 'lovecat.' " -Tom Peters, author of the bestselling In Search of Excellence and Reinventing Work series

"Aretha Franklin knew the secret: RESPECT. Tim Sanders knows how to spin it. In business, you get ahead by helping other people get what they want-it's simple, it's obvious, but it's so easy to forget. Love Is the Killer App reminds us that maybe, just maybe, looking out for number one is not the way to get ahead." -Seth Godin, author of Permission Marketing and Unleashing the Idea Virus
