Jack Falvey as Author

In 1981, Jack Falvey sold his first article to the editorial pages of The Wall Street Journal.

Being a business professional and not trained as a journalist required both the initial Manager's Journal and the subsequent thirty-some pieces that followed to be worked back and forth many times before they were given the benefit of tasting Dow Jones' printer's ink.

After about a three-year, mid-career apprenticeship administered over the phone from New York, the skills required to write for a worldwide audience were acquired, if not mastered.

How the Best get Better in Sales

People need more to be reminded than informed.

On Flag Day, June 14, 2000 a new concept in professional development for sales representatives and sales managers was launched. Jack Falvey, the founder and Chief Creative Officer of MakingTheNumbers.com, announced to a capacity audience of the Smaller Business Association of New England that beginning on July 4, 2000 a "Sales Tip of the Day" would go out by email FREE - FOREVER! And so it began with 44 initial registrants and a single subscriber to the Sales Management Strategy of the Day.

Hot Negative: Why the Media Miss the Business Message

Hot Negative: Why the Media Miss the Business Message

This book is a set of actual case studies illustrating the critical details left out of the business reporting of big and small stories by an untrained and less-than-knowledgeable media at all levels.

The Saturn automobile launched with such fanfare by General Motors was designed and manufactured in such a way that it could never be profitable. Its unique organization has been drawn back under the folds of the G.M. small car group, and thus has effectively disappeared from the business pages. It is a massive untold story which occupies a major chapter in the book.

The demise of Digital Equipment Corporation gets similar treatment by documenting how its experimental management system created on day one of its existence eventually led to its downfall.

The positive examples of Gillette and Coca-Cola as well as McDonald's indicate what it really means to go global and make it work.

The final chapter is on business ethics, which is alive and well in the form of ethical people doing business each day of the week in ways which are not considered news by the media.

After College: The Business of Getting Jobs

After College: The Business of Getting Jobs

Entering this "real world" is a daunting task if you don't understand how it really works.

It works all together differently than how it is described by those who work on college campuses.

The book tells how to get out of the herd mentality fostered by on-campus interviews and résumé workshops.

Life is a great interactive experience if you don't get tangled up in the bureaucratic nonsense being portrayed as "the job search." It's not a search; it's a treasure hunt.
