Friar Raj Goel Gets Roasted by Gothamite at the Friars Club Book Warming for His Newly Published Book

New York, NY, June 22, 2012 –(PR.com)– Last Thursday on June 14, 2012, the Friars Club, located at 57 55th Street in New York City, hosted a Book Warming party for Information Technology expert and fellow Friar Raj Goel’s recently published book, The Most Important Secrets to Getting Great Results from IT: Everything Your Computer Consultant Never Told You which focuses on the various options of using technology to help a business run more efficiently.

A fellow Gothamite and roast mistress stole the show when she roasted Goel at the Book Warming. Commenting humorously on the painful task of writing the book, as well as reading the book, she praised Goel and Brainlink International, Inc. for providing “an amazing service,” but also being “always there when we need them.” Finishing up after a few jokes at Goel’s expense, she introduced the author to the audience. There were also other Gothamites from the Gotham City Networking, Inc. who attended the event including Kelly Welles, David Stein, David Henry, and Mark Bernstein. Notable Friars that celebrated with Goel were Fred Klein, Michael Salloway, Nathan Lewkowicz, Toni Haber, Mitchell Sockett, Michael Appell, and Miguel Friere.

Raj Goel wrote his book to inform business owners to invest in current and past clients, but also current employees. These are in fact the “biggest assets,” according to Goel. He advised the audience to “keep in touch with every client that you’ve ever had,” and also “keep reminding them regularly what you do,” because business owners tend to forget that this can be an important resource to the company. With the help of Goel and his new book, a company can reduce costs, increase and maximize revenues, and increase profits.
