What will make customers decide to give their business and their money to you--even when your products may be virtually the same as others in your industry?

​Saying YES instead of no--and being ready to show the customer you'll go the extra mile--is successful businessman Howard Brown's answer. He should know. He built and sold three thriving office supply companies, going up against big-time competition and winning every time. In Yes Is More, Brown shows you how to create a unique added value--that something special for your customers--that will make your business stand out from all the rest, no matter what you're selling

In the end, and in good times and bad, loyalty to your employees, your manufacturers, and your customers--along with that unique something special--will always lead your company to a place at the top.

About the Author


Howard L. Brown graduated from Syracuse University in 1967 and went to work for one of his father's plastics companies. By 1972, he had purchased Summit Office Supply, a small office supply company, which he successfully sold to Dutch company Buhrmann-Tetterode (BT) in 1987. He remained with the company until 1998, when his contract with BT expired, and in September of that year, Brown purchased ten office supply companies in one day, including Allied Office Products in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. By 2006, with Allied reaching sales of $375 million, Brown once again made an impressive sale--this time to Office Depot. In 2007 and 2008, Brown, his family, and investors purchased Rentacrate and ShredX. In 2010, with a running start supplied by Rentacrate and ShredX, Brown announced the founding of HiTouch Business Services, Inc. Brown is presently the chairman of HiTouch, a full-service provider of a range of business essentials from office products, supplies, and equipment to total workspace environments. He enjoys golf and giving back to the community with his wife via their local charity work.
