Never Fly Solo: Lead with Courage, Build Trusting Partnerships, and Reach New Heights in Business Review

Never Fly Solo: Lead with Courage, Build Trusting Partnerships, and Reach New Heights in Business
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm an authority on sales training and have lost consulting deals over the years. But I have NO IDEA what it would mean to lose as a combat aviator. Think about it. Rob "Waldo" Waldman has to make the best decisions possible or he loses - he doesn't return from his mission.
What an outstanding resource Never Fly Solo is for anyone in the work world.
His thinking reinforces what I believe is the best way to distinguish good from bad business professionals. That is to recognize everyone makes either good or bad decisions. It gets no simpler than that.
Read here how an Air Force officer who flies is humbled to learn he's not the hotshot in the sky, but a part of a team that includes ground crew, mechanics, controllers, wingmen and more.
And from that experience flows wisdom that you can apply in business today.
One of my favorite stories is his description of "chair flying," actually simulating a mission in a chair prior to experiencing it in the cockpit. Mentally running every possible scenario, good and bad, can prepare you to succeed in life, as Waldman did in the air over 60+ combat missions.
I most highly recommend Never Fly Solo.

The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure Review

The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hi,
Thisd book can potentially be life changing.
I've created many of my own products and sold millions online. Yet, I
took away some very valuable ideas from this book.
Here are the top 7 things I learned (or was reminded of in a positive way):
1. Instead of blaming the economy for down sales, blame your activity level for being too low
It's easy to get in the mindset that the problem is the market or the economy. He makes a
great case that the problem is the activity of you and/or the employees in your company.
2. Become omnipresent
He has a chapter about omnipresence. This is a GREAT mindset for marketing....become
omnipresent in your market.
3. Seek to dominate your market instead of being competitive.
Being competitive is the wrong target. This is a great point and changes your mindset
totally.
4. We consistently underestimate the activity level required to get a result
The problem isn't laziness or anything else. It's simply that we underestimate
the activity level required to launch a new product, make sales or create a
successful marketing funnel.
5. 10x thinking + 10x action
This isn't about thinking only (like Think and Grow Rich) or action only.
Action without the right thought behind it spins your wheels.
6. Set your goal to be 10x greater than you think you need
Expand your thinking. I like this idea. It changes the activities you
plan to reach your goal.
7. Plan to take 10x the actions you think you need
Now, there are a LOT of ideas and nuances I didn't list above. One
of the things he does that's terrific is covers objections to increasing
your activity level.
He made me think about some of the ideas in my own thinking and
re-evaluate them. Very useful.
I highly recommend this book.

The Never Cold Call Again Online Playbook: The Definitive Guide to Internet Marketing Success Review

The Never Cold Call Again Online Playbook: The Definitive Guide to Internet Marketing Success
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased one of Mr. Rumbauskas' books about a year ago. I thought it was pretty standard stuff, but not too bad. When I got the email announcing "Online Playbook" I was curious. I thought I would give Mr. R another shot to impress me. There are several free bonuses that come with the purchase, so I thought $14 would be worth the spend. As it turns out, this book does nothing more than scratch the surface and is mostly full of information anyone who has advertised on the net once or twice would know. To get the actual "power secrets" Mr. Rumbauskas entices you with, you will have to shell out $500.00 for Rumbauskas' Marketing Opus program, which the author will happliy tell you all about when you register for the free bonuses. A real bait and switch tactic that left me cold. I would also recommend stearing clear of some of Mr. Rumbauskas' team mates - Joe Vitale, Matt Morris - who use some of the same infuriating tactics. If you don't mind fluff, get this book and your free bounuses. Otherwise don't waste your time or money on this one.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Mapping Your Recovery: Growing sales in difficult times

Mapping Your Recovery is meant to be a guide for those business owners that have been beaten down by the poor economy and looking for help in growing their business. It is a compilation of articles I have written during the first few years of the recession (2008, 2009 and 2010) that focus on improving the value of a business regardless of what the economy is doing. There are a number of strategies that can be used to move your organization forward in difficult times, and the articles in this book will help you put them in perspective and put them to use. Share this book with your management team and use it as a way of stimulating discussion during meetings to start planning your improvement. Once you have developed a plan to move forward you need to do the most important thing... EXECUTE. Most businesses do a fine job of planning, but a poor job of implementation. The best plan in world does you no good sitting on a shelf! The information in this book is based on my experience in running four different businesses ranging in size from a start-up to a 1,600 person organizations, as well as working with a number of small and medium sized business owners in my consulting practice.

There's really nothing new in this book, but the method of presentation and short read time make it an excellent choice as a reminder to keep doing what we all should know works. Marketing, build relationships, close the sale. This is what has always worked and it hasn't really changed. Some of our marketing methods are new, but the great sales successes continue to go to those who focus on building relationships.
Good book and I recommend it because you can read it in 30-45 minutes and get a good kick in the seat of the pants.

How to Persuade People Who Don't Want to be Persuaded: Get What You Want-Every Time Review

How to Persuade People Who Don't Want to be Persuaded: Get What You Want-Every Time
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Bauer speak, I eagerly looked forward to reading his co-authored book. His commanding "Stage Presence" dressed in a tailored suit stands in my memory like a spot light in the night. This presence, one which ultimately mesmerizes you into believing that what ever he says is some how correct.
That said, I eagerly picked up his book and started reading, only to bog down every time I picked up! With massive effort I finally finished the material and was left wondering what "The Heck I Had Read"?
Was this a Sales Training Book, Was This a Simply Magic Tricks Book, or was this just a way to get published?
The book is filled with slight of hand, misdirection and numerous illusions all illustrating anything but The Title of the Book!
It is unlikely that anyone would be able to persuade anybody to do anything after finishing it...But Entertain You Might!
This book is truly simplistic but masterful in its ability to make much out of little! It is also unlikely the average reader of this book would ever resort to the slight of hand or magic tricks purported as Ice Breakers in any sales presentation. Perhaps more usable at the next family reunion or reception.
Granted if you already have a background in magic this book would likely be most entertaining. It is also unlikely that any body would be fooled by the presentation or intent of this message or your implementation in a business setting.
Perhaps after four or five martinis the story would be different
In summation....to utilize a famous marketing quote.....Where's the Beef?
Or in this case ...substance.

High Trust Selling: Make More Money in Less Time with Less Stress Review

High Trust Selling: Make More Money in Less Time with Less Stress
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm one of those who likes to read reviews before buying a book. In this case, I concur with all the reviews except for the two who seem to have skipped Duncan's Introduction in the book. After reading the other reviewers' comments, I was a little skeptical to buy "High Trust Selling" at first because of the two reviewers who say Duncan doesn't ever define "high trust." But when I picked up the book and read the Intro, "high trust" was clearly defined there, and then expanded upon in great detail throughout the remainder of the book. In the Intro Duncan writes, "...sales are made when trust exists. But in the sales profession there's more to steady success than being a trustworthy person - although that's certainly where it starts. Long-term sales success happens when HIGH trust exists - when you are a trustworthy salesperson running a trustworthy sales business. When it's clear to your clients that you are a person of integrity who will not only do what you say but who also has the means to deliver. It is one thing to be a trustworthy person with a sales job; it's another to be a trustworthy salesperson with a reliable business.
"A trustworthy person will do everything in his power to follow through on what he has promised - and that's very important. But if a trustworthy person is not ALSO an efficient salesperson running an efficient sales business, trust will only go so far. It may land a sale or two, but it rarely will last beyond that. High trust is necessary to climb to the top, whether you're selling cars or copiers; hats or home loans; footwear or financial services. And high trust happens by design, not by accident. It's earned and preserved, but never finagled. Despite what you've read or been taught to this point in your sales career, it takes more than fortitude and flattery to become great in the sales profession. If you are a trustworthy salesperson running a respectable, reliable sales business, you will succeed in the sales profession . . . in less time than you think and with much less stress than you're accustomed to. More than that, with high trust on your side you will climb to the top of your industry and remain there."
All things considered, this is a very valuable book - even if you're already successful in a sales industry. This book will both teach you and keep you focused on the keys to staying on top as a salesperson. I highly recommend it.

Connie Podesta has written a great line of books in her career, and this is no exception! I've gotten a lot out of reading most of her books and am really impressed with this one. It's got great How-to info on gaining the trust and respect of women so you can finally close the deal with them.
Now, I've never needed any of these sales guides, but everything in there seems great and makes sense. I'm such a fan of her work that I felt I should read this one too. And I'd say it's actually helped with my overall communication skills. I loved this book. Other great works by her: Life Would Be Easy If It Weren't for Other People (Live) & How to Be the Person Successful Companies Fight to keep

#1 : She doesn't want to play the game
#2: She doesn't think the salesperson views her as a legitimate decision maker
#3 : She doesn't like the salesperson
#4 : She doesn't trust the salesperson
#5 : She doesn't think the salesperson is the right person for the job

Riddled with revealing anecdotes, Make a Fortune Selling to Women describes the male and female approach to the buying experience--without being condescending to either gender. And both salesmen and saleswomen will rely on this book to help them secure more sales with women.

SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times (PAPERBACK) (Millionaire Real Estate) Review

SHIFT:  How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times (PAPERBACK) (Millionaire Real Estate)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Any agent, new or experienced, independent or franchised, big broker or little broker, can benefit from this book!
Shift is truly a guidebook for real estate agents/Realtors old or new, IN ANY MARKET even though it's marketed as (see the title) helping agents through the current "buyer's market". Many agents - with experience limited to the booming "seller's market" we experienced in the US between between 2001 and 2007 - were (and some still are) SHOCKED by the shift in the market and what that did to their business, income, lifestyle, etc. Gary Keller explains what happened (and how it's happened before and will happen again) and what the options are for real estate agents. Those that choose to tough it out and stay in real estate, can learn viable strategies to get leads, convert the leads to contracts, and close and get paid in the current market. In fact, the strategies can (and will) be aptly applied in any market.
Tip/hint: Gary recommends taking the book to a local office supply store and having them spiral bound it so it can be used as a field guide of sorts. VERY GOOD IDEA. Thanks for awesome book-delivered coaching/mentoring Gary!!!

Secrets of Question Based Selling: How the Most Powerful Tool in Business Can Double Your Sales Results Review

Secrets of Question Based Selling: How the Most Powerful Tool in Business Can Double Your Sales Results
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is perhaps the best all-around sales book I have ever read. While other books point out much needed information, or say the same thing with a different perspective that is sometimes necessary to understand a point, this book should be THE starting point for any sales professional. This book has helped me greatly in my success as a sale professional. It is a sales book, a persuasion book, and a psychology book all rolled into one. Everyone seems to try to start people off with "You Can't Teach a Kid to Ride a Bike at a Seminar" by Sandler, but this book is everything that book is and then some.
Where are the differences? Other books take an elementary strategy to the sales process. First you prospect, then you get the appointment, then you interview the customer, then you give your presentation, then you handle objections, then you close, close, close! I have even heard one person ask what the point of "step 1" is....and his answer was to get to "step 2". while this is somewhat useful to understand, it doesn't help you DO it, it doesn't tell you what to do and how to do it, and it's little more than an outline.
Secrets of Questions Based Selling gets down to the nitty-gritty. He brings things to the table that you may never think about if you don't read this book. He talks about how people interact, how they need to ad value, how they mismatch, how different types of questions serve different purposes- some are solely for the benefit of the person doing the questioning and ad no value to the person answering (i.e.- What CRM product are you currently using in your company?), while others provide more value to the customer (How many customers do you think you are losing because you do not have voicemail and people are hanging up?), etc.
I have read A LOT of books on sales, and I keep finding pieces of this book in all of the other works. High Trust Selling, Sandler's work, Selling with NLP, SPIN selling, etc. They may build on things differently, but this book IS the foundation.
So, as yourself these questions:
1. Am I EVER going to read a sales book? (If so, this should be the first one)
2. Have I been reading sales books, but haven't read this one yet? (If so, this should be the next one you read)
3. Have I been reading sales books, but haven't quite found a useful one yet? (See #2, and this will be a useful book- if you learn it)
Overall, this is a GREAT book that provides a GREAT foundation to your sales knowledge. However, always keep in mind that you have to use what you learn (which means you have to LEARN it first), and that you can't hit a baseball by reading a book. Use the books to learn the mechanics, but then get up and swing the bat a few times, and then get out and hit the ball!

I've read over 500 books on selling, persuasion, and influence. This is the best book on telesales that I've ever read. It's in my top 5 sales books of all time.
Initially I thought the book was expensive..., but after I read it, I realized it's worth 50 times what I paid for it!
