Should be called Secrets of Closing Sales in the 1950’s by
Very outdated material. The book is completely disjointed and is an insult to professional sales people. The book uses outdated jargon and actually used the word “niggardly” to discribe a situation in the book. That word has been and should be scrapped years ago. Aside from a brief portion at the beginning of the book, I assume the revised portion of the book, the rest of the book is tough to read and outdated for today’s sales professional. I can’t believe some one actually recommended this book to me!

Comments from Marketing Times and Entrepreneur by Julia A. M. Arnold
With Secrets the reader gets Coach Torres right over the shoulder. This best-selling sales book helps salespersons make all the good calls all the time, buttressed with proof-positive case-in-pointers — Marketing Times

If I’d had this book a year ago I’d be on a yaght — or thinking about buying one. In a warm, lead-by-the-hand style, Alexander has been ther, done that - and that means implementing a fail-safe system of selling that rocks bottom lines for any business or serivce. —Entrepreneur

You Won’t Be Inspired Here by R. Peter Valentine
This is an OK book about sales. It sort of reminds me of the information I would get if I was talking to an average but intellectualized salesman. You can always learn something. An endorsement from a reviewer below is taken from Marketing Times, but maybe the reviewer is unaware that Roy Alexander (the author) was the editor of this journal. Feel my pain and read this book.

Three Stars

word nerd reviewer by Colleen Groch
I am writing this rebuttal to a previous reviewers misconception of the english language.
Dear reviewer who wrote about niggardly:

Before passing judgement and assuming on words how about picking up a dictionary. Text Book definition of niggardly: reluctant to spend or grant, stingy.

For future reference, reading allows you to articulate rescripts better in sales.

A Better Title for a Good Book by I. A Minor
This is a resource for a salesman with a few years in the field. The proper title should be

Packed With Knowledge! by Rolf Dobelli
Roger Dawson, a top speaker and writer on negotiation and persuasion, has written, in fact, a very persuasive book. Solid research that identifies effective sales strategies and explains why they work sets Dawson’s book apart from many other volumes on sales techniques - even when his advice is repetitive. He warns you away from manipulation, though he doesn’t hesitate to use some forms of it, along with psychological insight, time pressure, friendship, subliminal messages and outright emotion to persuade clients to buy. Dawson writes in an easy-to-read, breezy, yet authoritative style and includes tricks, techniques, clever anecdotes and chapter summaries. The book is as well organized as a speech in which Dawson tells you what he is going to say, says it and then tells you what he just said. We recommend this book to people who want to sell better, and who have the starch to use intense powers of persuasion.

Gimicks that may work selling pencils, but… by Ronald Davis
They sure won’t work if you are selling big ticket items, such as houses, cars, planes, factory equipment or the like.

If you are looking for a difficult to master but good book, go to Rackham’s SPIN selling. It is both research based AND effective. Dawson is just a rehash of every sales gimmick you or he has ever read about.

If you look, you will see I liked his negotiation gimmicks — but only if tempered with other’s work to set tone and style (and more). In sales, unlike negotiation, the gimmicks tend to be instant death.

Where’s the bibliography by Mark Wieczorek
I flipped through this book in the book store. It’s a great little book. It has all sorts of “tricks” for getting people to do what you want them to do. In fact, a lot of his ideas were paraphrased wholesale from Robert Cialdini. I read a little further. There’s some NLP thrown in too. I read a little further, and saw some things that weren’t familiar to me.

I really wish the author quoted his sources instead of making it seem like he was telling you all these things from firsthand experience instead of from a handful of books, but as a collection, it’s pretty good. I flipped around for footnotes, a bibliography, endnotes, anything to let me know what his sources were, but there were none.

Since I was only familiar with about 60 to 70% of his material, I’d pick it up just to have the complete list, but I’d rather go back to the original sources. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t include a bibliography? Otherwise he’d be generating sales for someone else.

Anyway, if you’re not familiar with these things, get Influence by Cialdini and Frogs into Princes by Bandler & Grinder. If you are, well, this book is a nice summation, and adds some new stuff as well.

Good Book not for begginers. by Alois Francois Larc Deli
This book goes to the psycologic side of the sales and how to convince tje people to buy from you instead to sale to Them. It’s very simple tom understand, has a lot of examples. It’s not a how to book. If you are new in sales read something elese.
