ABOUT THIS HANDBOOK
Several years ago, I wrote a handbook called
How to Establish Service Level Agreements,
which I adapted from one of my seminars. I knew there was a need
for information on this subject, but I vastly underestimated the
extent to which this SLA handbook would lead to demand for
my seminars, presentations and consulting work.
What is a handbook? I use the term to describe a document that
provides concrete information on how to (and how not to) carry
out a particular task, achieve a particular goal, undertake a
particular activity, learn a particular process, develop a
certain skill, or the like. A handbook features case studies,
examples, guidelines, directions, recommendations and lessons
learned, with information structured as concise, easy-to-grasp
chunklets.
My SLA handbook leads people to recognize me as an expert who can help
them address their SLA challenges, and a handbook that you write
can do the same for you. As a result, the “profit” in
the above title refers not to sales of your handbook but to the
profitable work that it can generate for you.
The amazing thing about my SLA handbook is how little time and
effort it took to write it, compared with my experiences in
writing several full-scale books.
I've written this How to Profit handbook to share what I've
learned so that you can write your own handbook and achieve
similar results. My objectives are:
- To provide tips, techniques, guidelines and recommendations to
help you plan, write, market and profit from your own handbook(s)
- To use this very handbook to illustrate the tips,
techniques, guidelines and recommendations that I describe.
