From Booklist , January 1, 1997
When he was 30, Boylan left two companies he had owned and run to pursue his dream of a career in the recording industry. He made a demo of 10 of his songs and hawked it at all of the major record studios. After being told by each one that his music was not good enough, Boylan reconsidered. What he also came to discover, however, was that recording-company executives receive thousands of unsolicited tapes. For his to have been listened to at almost every place he tried was apparently unheard of, more a testimonial to his ability to get in the door than to the quality of his singing. So now Boylan has decided to share his secrets. He calls the techniques he has developed to gain access to decision makers the "circle of leverage," and he shows how to use it to get past voice mail and unsympathetic receptionists. David Rouse
