Review Quotes

"If you want the real nuts and bolts of how to profit from day one in your ecommerce business, you must read this book! So often, as ecommerce entrepreneurs, we have all the drive, product, marketing, and skills needed to make the monster grow, but lack the tools to tame the business and make it serve us and our employees. Cyndi has thoughtfully given us a book that can do just that, and without making our heads swim."

"I have been fortunate to both read Cyndi's book and hear her speak at several ecommerce events. No one is bored when Cyndi starts sharing about accounting and Profit First! What Cyndi teaches is different from what many "guru's" teach about ROI and how to have a successful and profitable ecommerce business. Cyndi knows the ecommerce business better than most CPA's, her advice is solid and if followed can lead to a profitable
business. Her experience with using the Profit First system is not just "head knowledge" but something she has used herself and knows from experience that it will work. Both newbies and experienced sellers will have better, stronger and healthier ecommerce businesses if they read and implement the steps outlined in Cyndi's book."
