Jonatan Assad

"Oh boy, I remember that I desperately searched for a useful method guiding me through the preparation of my budget. I had two weeks to convince an executive to get a risky investment going and did not have a clue how to do it. Thanks to The Definitive Guide to Getting Your Budget Approved! I was able to prepare my budget within one week and got it approved. It even helped me getting more budgets to finalize other suspended projects!"

Jonatan Assad

Alexander Schlipf

"There I was, one week before the big presentation. I knew I had to get the budget for my project but I didn't know how! 5 days were enough to acquire the method described in The Definitive Guide to Getting Your Budget Approved!, apply it to my project, and to present it to the board. What can I say? Never before I've found a method to prepare a budget that can be adapted as easy as this one and without much time effort. And the best thing about it: I got my budget approved!"

Alexander Schlipf
Financial Analyst, Ex.-Metzler Bank,

Andreas Gdde

"The described methodology is the best for the measurement of soft benefits currently available. The authors do an excellent job of explaining how to measure qualitative values such as quality, innovation, information accuracy and customer satisfaction. I regularly use this method to demonstrate the hidden values of the SAS Business Intelligence Solution to my customers. In cases where we follow this method strictly during the sales process, the sales people were able to improve their close ratio tremendously and increase their income."

Andreas Gödde
Director Business Intelligence, SAS Institute,
Heidelberg, Germany

Jepser Schleimann

"This book is quite an eye opener. It not merely reveals the importance of intangible benefits, but clearly explains how to measure them. As a Divisional Director I depend on true-to-life methods and this book finally represents a helpful guideline for the measurement of soft benefits!"
