Sales master Jeffrey Gitomer has created a real-world, practical, and fun book that salespeople will love and profit from -- and sales managers will buy by the case. Salespeople want answers. That's why the Little Red Book of Selling is short, sweet, and to the point. It's packed with answers that people are searching for in order to help them make sales for the moment - and for the rest of their lives. In the Little Red Book of Selling salespeople will learn why sales happen and a philosophy of success - long term, relationship driven, and referral oriented - nothing to do with manipulation or other old-world sales tactics. It has everything to do with understanding buying motives and taking ethical, relationship-building actions. People don't like to be sold but they love to buy has become more than Gitomer's registered trademark- it's a mantra. A mantra every salesperson needs to understand at the core of his selling success. Throughout this book the reader will begin to adopt a philosophy that drives them to a higher, value-driven purpose. There are 12.5 powerful principles of sales mastery. These principles are at the heart of sales success. They are the difference between red (putting your heart into your career) and black (having a job, coming to work, and making a commission). Other chapters include; What's the Difference between Failure and Success in Salespeople, The Little Salesman that Could, The Two Most Important Words in Selling, and Just Plain "How to Make a Sale." The cover is classic red cloth. The four-color graphics make it compelling and easy to read, and the content is easy to understand and implement. For your convenience there is a red satin (ok, polyester) bookmark so you can remember your place. It is small enough to carry with you - big enough to contain the answers you need — powerful enough to fill your wallet. |

Summary: Terrible I'm sure Mr. Gitomer is a good salesman since he, after all, managed to sell me his book. But he's not a good author and his book is not worth the time. His practical advice ranges from things like "don't whine", "buy your own laptop if your company won't buy you one" to "stay up late to prepare for next day instead of watching TV." Maybe there is some good advice in this book for children selling lemonade down the street, but its a joke for any true Sales/Marketing professional. There are tons of better books out there, don't waste your time on this one. For good books on complex sales, try "Solution Selling" by Bosworth or "Hope is not a strategy" by Page. They lay out a proven, scientific and structured approach to the entire sales cycle. My company uses it routinely to great effect. Solution Selling: Creating Buyers in Difficult Selling Markets Hope Is Not a Strategy: The 6 Keys to Winning the Complex Sale Summary: Gems of wisdom for all businesspeople Gitomer is a salesman at heart. He manages to distill old and known truths and success factors into a creative and inspiring book. He constantly uses the .5 element in all the lists in the book (and his other books) that thus have become his trademark. Nonetheless, it is not annoying but easy fun. This book might be too simple for experienced salespeople, but for me, who is just beginning this road was an eye-opener. And a very happy one too: sales is not about shoving people stuff down their throat and making them pay for it, rather it is an ethical profession in which you try to do your utmost to understand the customer and deliver him what truly brings value. This goes beyond pure sales, but should be fundamental to any business person or even every professional! If you can take a step back from your current profession, there are many lessons in this book that might be worthwhile in your everyday life: - how to build relationships - how to help the other person instead of (first) helping yourself - how to try to understand others allows for improved performance And it gives very practical tips and instructions on how and what do do each of these things, while challenging you to keep thinking. For me, an inspiration to buy all his books (although I am sure the same mantra is repeated there). People don't like to be sold, but they love to buy!! Summary: More about checking out his website than providing content Lots of good reviews but I felt it was primarily written to drive people to his website which was very distracting. Motivational? Telling people "You suck" lessens the impact of the point he's trying to get across. I'm passing on the rest of his books and maybe you should too. Summary: Love it! I really love this book- and I say 'love' and not 'loved' because I will re-read it several times. The author makes it easy to understand and I couldn't help but laugh when he poked fun at bad salespeople. I of course resembled many a comment! But I agree with him, you have to constantly read and stay away from the TV to get better at anything. Many ideas and tips to follow. Good luck! Summary: Little Red Book of Selling This is a great book! 'had my entire sales team read it. Easy to follow, great sales tips and words of wisdom that apply to anybody selling anything! |
