I learned nothing about selling from this book!,
I was very excited about this book – until I started reading it. The first half of this book focuses on telling us why we need to have sales skills and insisting that salespeople are really not horrible people. (If I really wasn’t interested in selling, I obviously wouldn’t be reading the book in the first place!) The second half of the book covers several topics on living a productive life in general, such as striving for excellence rather than perfection. While all of this may be good advice, most of it is just common sense and there is virtually nothing that relates specifically to selling.

|Outstanding work on sales for everyone (even shy people),
This entertaining, engaging work left me laughing! Brigid’s style and real life examples showed me how sales are a part of everyone’s life — and a valuable skill set that one must embrace regardless of their vocation to be successful. This book should be required reading for anyone in the business world who want to be successful!

|The subject is selling but the authors wonder off subject….,
Found this in the library and since I deal with customers daily I need some guidance. Instead of covering the art of selling, finding leads, upselling etc, the authors starts out by first saying no matter what your job is you are a salesman. Your selling your service, making an impression for the company you work for with each contact with a customer or potential customer. The next chapter gave a test on myths of being a sellsman but then they got totally lost. The authors covered communications, managing meetings, writing a 30 second message, preparing a presentation, comparison between being perfection and excellence, and the whole book litterd with idiom. but nothing on selling. The author gives stories of consulting jobs and being a customer walking a way from sales like a badge of honor on 4 occasions. It seems the authors did very little selling but is a consultant that specializes in finding faults in others presentations in selling to get customers. I did like the message regarding everybody is a salesman but the author has little experience to pass on to the reader even with the support of a ghost writer. There were only 180 pages and I get everything from world opinion on changing and things aren’t the way they use to be. Little selling to be learned from this book. The author also borrowed heavily from other books some I’ve read already making this a more a book about working smart than selling.
