Good News and Bad News
Issue #181

Hi Friend,

Today I am writing with some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news.
The release of my latest book - Spare Parts Inventory Management - has been delayed until Dec 16th 2016 for Amazon.com and even later for other retailers. This means that anyone that has pre-ordered the book will have to wait another couple of weeks. For this I sincerely apologize.

Now the good news.
I have been promoting a special bonus for people that purchase the book either in pre-release or in the first week of release. The delay means that if you have not yet pre-ordered your copy it is not too late!

Here's the deal:
Purchase the book at Amazon.com, either as a pre-release order or during the first week of release and, in addition to the book, I will give you:
  • A complementary 3-month subscription to SparePartsKnowHow.com. This will enable you to complete the Spare Parts Inventory Management Certificate online (yes, we have a certificate in spare parts management - see more below). Normally, access to the course costs $499.
  • Access to one of three online ‘open mike’ sessions where I will be on hand to answer your questions about spare parts inventory management. This service is normally only available to consulting clients.
To claim your bonuses you just need to visit the Contact page at PhillipSlater.com and use the form to provide your name, email address, and receipt number.

Then after the first week of release we will advise everyone who registered of their 3-month membership so that they can start their certificate and we will provide dates and times for the online sessions.
That’s it! Too easy!

Using the above link you can also get access to a download of the Preface and Introduction.

Keep on improving!
