Those of us who need a big, delicious fix of Don Draper and his entourage will finally get it when season 4 of MAD MEN premieres on AMC TV July 25th.

“The Queen of the Business Lunch” – There is Only One!

I hosted more than 3,000 client lunches during my years in advertising sales - though I'm quite sure that is a conservative estimate. My guess today would lean more toward 4,000. During that time, I saw my sales increase by more than 2,000%! That told me that I was doing SOMETHING right. I was compelled to share my tips and techniques with the world ... and so I wrote "The Art of the Business Lunch."
