Review:

Gerber’s E-Myth theory works well for billing and claims processing startups: most billing services fail because billers are “technicians” with little knowledge about how to manage successful business.

Billing is an especially difficult business because it must succeed in an increasingly adversarial environment, where billing complexity creates opportunities for providers to commit fraud and for payers–to benefit at the expense of the providers. A naive outsourced billing office owner is helpless against insurance companies armed with significant resources devoted to denying reimbursement and including professionally managed processes and leading-edge technology.

Read three books before deciding to start your own billing service:

1) “Claim Success!”
2) “Start Your Own Medical Claims Billing Service”
3) Gerber’s E-myth

Review:

I, like some other reviewers purchased this book based on it’s 5 star reviews, but this book is definitely not worth 5 stars.

The book began well by describing a couple of NLP patterns and went in to great detail about how they could be used in real life. This, I thought was really well done because it is not so much the actual patterns that are important in their own right, but how they are used in different contexts. Rintu’s coverage here really made it easy to understand how these patterns can be used. He then went on to describe supporting techniques such as pacing and leading, framing etc. His coverage of these techniques supports the use of these patterns, however it is really necessary to gain a deeper understanding of them from other authors. And to be fair, Rintu does state at the beginning that this book is not a complete course in persuasion techniques.

The style of the book I felt was more like an internet e-book put into print form due to Rintu using comments and stories from subscribers to his web site throughout the book, and also encouraging readers to visit his site. In this respect it seemed like a vehicle to self promotion. The language, grammar and spelling is also not up to scratch and it is quite poorly edited.

Except for the first couple of chapters where it looked like Rintu was really displaying a unique style of communicating how to use NLP patterns the rest of the book was downhill and very repetitious and I felt like I had not gained any further knowledge than from the opening chapters by the time I had reached the end. In fact the final section from page 138 on really did look just like filler.

Who is this book suitable for? Well, it would make a good primer for someone who has not done extensive study into persuasion techniques and wants to understand if it would be a subject they could be interested in. If you are looking beyond that then there is much better material out there.
