In business, there's no standing still. The trick is to become an elephant―big enough to make a difference, healthy enough to withstand financial currents, strong enough to influence your market―and smart enough to avoid the pitfalls of growth. With Be the Elephant, bestselling author Steve Kaplan provides the business-growing playbook for every entrepreneur, CEO, sales professional, small business owner, and manager alike. The strategy, the process, the toolbox. Written in a friendly, no-nonsense style, Be the Elephant takes the mystery and the fear out of growing bigger. It shows you how to address potential downsides, point by point, and provides a 25-question quiz to gauge your business's current health. There are lessons in strengthening sales, a business's front line. Vertical and horizontal growth. Risk versus reward. How to avoid the twin dilemmas inherent in growth―grow too slowly and wither, or grow too fast and lose control. And finally, how to chart it and start it, from developing an all-important USP―unique selling proposition―to avoiding the Five Killer Mistakes that can ruin a company. And from there, how to go forth and Be the Elephant

Now available in paperback, Steve Kaplan's Bag the Elephant, is the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Business Week bestseller that has received praise from around the business community: "Steve Kaplan's elephant strategy is right on the money, as long as you're willing to roll up your sleeves and go to work."―Daniel M. Snyder, Owner, Chairman of the Board, The Washington Redskins. "Kaplan shows you how to think BIG, act BIG, and win BIG."―Jeffrey Gitomer, author of The Little Red Book of Selling. "A terrific read! From now on, when I think about building business and sales, there's no way I'll ever forget the Elephant."―Harvey Mackay, author of Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive. Bag the Elephant is all about how smart businesspeople can woo and keep those all-important elephants―the big, make-or-break customers. Like its companion, the New York Times bestseller Be the Elephant, it is filled with dynamic advice and real-life examples, delivered in an energetic, straight-shooting fashion that gets right to the core of its powerful idea―how to land the account that will put you over the top. Here are six keys to achieving the elephant mindset and understanding the big customer. How to map and use a big company's red tape to your advantage. Why the elephant needs you as much as you need it. Preparing yourself and your pitch. How to negotiate with elephants without losing your profit margins. And how to avoid the five killer mistakes, from mismanaging client expectations to losing sight of the numbers. For small business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and sales people, stalking and landing an elephant can be the most profitable adventure of your life, and Kaplan explains everything you need to know.

In his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Bag the Elephant! and Be the Elephant, Steve Kaplan showed business owners how to win the big customer and maintain growth. In Sell Your Business for the Max!, Kaplan covers another and even more necessary skill: selling the business for maximum payoff. The need for this book is enormous—according to a recent study by Mass Mutual Financial Group, 40 percent of CEOs of family businesses will consider retiring in the next few years. In a survey conducted by the author, 95 percent of owners said they think about selling their business at least once a week, and 94 percent said they have no one to turn to for advice. Now they have Steve Kaplan, who has owned 35 businesses and sold 30 of them. Selling a business requires a completely different skill set than running a business. In addition, it's often entangled in highly emotional issues. Are you really ready to retire? Should you pass the business on to your children or sell outside the family? And how do you quantify the blood, sweat, and years of hard work you devoted to make your company thrive? In this step-by-step workbook, packed with indispensable advice and real-life examples, Kaplan breaks down the process into three easily navigable stages: preparing for the sale (including how to value your business); negotiating the sale; and, like follow-through in a golf swing, optimizing the outcome. In addition, he explains the Five Killer Mistakes to Avoid (here's one: Don't share the news too early!). Included with the planner, and greatly enhancing it, is a suite of downloadable business-building tools, online templates, charts, and interactive calculators—making this not just the book for every small and large business owner, but a complete practical kit.

While other books give you tips on how to “write funny,” this book offers a paradigm shift in understanding the mechanics and art of comedy, and the proven, practical tools that help writers translate that understanding into successful, commercial scripts. The Hidden Tools of Comedy unlocks the unique secrets and techniques of writing comedy. Kaplan deconstructs sequences in popular films and TV that work and don’t work, and explains what tools were used (or should have been used).

A comic hero or heroine also goes on a journey, but for the comic hero, it’s often quite, quite different. The hero decides to go on the adventure; the comic hero often has no choice. The hero has a wise old man; the comic hero often meets an idiot who inadvertently says something that can teach him a thing or two. Steve Kaplan will show you the diverse paths that comedy takes in The Comic Hero’s Journey.
