Jenkins Group Inc., announced recently that “The Asking Formula,” created by author and speaker John Baker, earned a 2014 Silver Axiom Business Book Award. This is the 7th annual recognition announcement from the publishing firm, honoring the best business books published during the past year. This is the second award “The Asking Formula” has received, as it was recognized last spring as “Book of the Year” by the American Association of Inside Sales Professionals (AA-ISP).
Baker has shared his methodology outlined in “The Asking Formula” through programs and keynote addresses across the country and in Europe during the past year. Participants learn and practice a six-step repeatable process they can apply in professional and personal situations to “ask for what they want… and get it.” Baker’s humor, expertise and coaching style create an entertaining learning environment.
“I am delighted to be a multiple Axiom award winner and gratified that my simple, straightforward message in The Asking Formula has been so widely embraced. It's an honor to be recognized among these authors and it’s been rewarding to help so many people advance their professionalism and improve their communication skills,“ said Baker.
Baker’s previous book,“Ready Thinking, Primed for Change” was also recognized with a Gold Axiom Business Book Award in 2009.
The Axiom Business Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary business books and their creators, with the understanding that business people are an information-hungry segment of the population, eager to learn about great new books that will inspire them and help them improve their careers and businesses.
“This year more than ever, the Axiom Award-winning books share knowledge that will help businesses grow and thrive, with advice and inspiration from the world’s best business minds,” said company founder Jerrold Jenkins. “Today’s innovative business people keep up on the latest trends through reading. These awards are meant to bring great books and great business people together.”
