Double Your Profits - 78 Ways to Cut Costs, Increase Sales and Dramatically Improve Your Bottom Line in 6 Months or Less
Robert Fifer
Published 1993

Washington Post : In Electric Company

Bob Fifer, chairman of Vienna based Kaiser Associates Inc. and author of "Double Your Profits," has found a way to double his book sales.

In bookland, an endorsement can be worth a thousand copies. And, it seems the $23.95 book, printed by Fifer, has caught the eye of John F. Welch Jr., chief executive of General Electric Co.

Bruce Bunch, a spokesman for GE, said Welch ordered about 125 copies for the company's top officers because it described in "simple and easy terms" ways to keep costs down and profit up.

The 255 page book contains 78 tips to trim expenses, increase sales and improve earnings in six months or less.

While Welch hasn't ordered management to read the book, the recommendation to top brass has resulted in 1,500 orders from other GE managers not on the original handout list.
