\n

Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey<\/i> tells the story behind Highclere Castle, the real-life inspiration and setting for Julian Fellowes’s Emmy Award-winning PBS show Downton Abbey<\/i>, and the life of one of its most famous inhabitants, Lady Almina, the 5th Countess of Carnarvon. Drawing on a rich store of materials from the archives of Highclere Castle, including diaries, letters, and photographs, the current Lady Carnarvon has written a transporting story of this fabled home on the brink of war.<\/p>\n

Much like her Masterpiece Classic<\/i> counterpart, Lady Cora Crawley, Lady Almina was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Alfred de Rothschild, who married his daughter off at a young age, her dowry serving as the crucial link in the effort to preserve the Earl of Carnarvon’s ancestral home.\u00a0 Throwing open the doors of Highclere Castle to tend to the wounded of World War I, Lady Almina distinguished herself as a brave and remarkable woman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Does your competitor always get the sale, even though your products and service are just as good, if not better? Why are some companies\u2019 once-trusted brands now deemed worthless? Do you have to continually sell to your existing customers as though they are brand new ones?
\nAfter many years of diligent research and work with a wide range of clients, consultant and speaker C. Richard Weylman has the answer to these questions.<\/p>\n

When customers decide where to buy, they have one thing in mind: Why should I do business with this company? Will it solve my problem, today? Buyers want to do business with companies willing to make a customer-centric promise of expected outcome: up-front and unconditional. This isn\u2019t just a slogan; it has to be in the company\u2019s DNA, consistently delivered through all parts of the organization.<\/p>\n
