READ IT, STUDY IT May 14, 2008
Author of: One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel
Gitomer is a marketing genius. The book covers the basics of selling with some very "Gitomer" style messages. If you've read any of his other books, then you know what to expect. Some of it is covered elsewhere in many other sales books. But this revised edition takes the most important aspects of selling and puts them all together - with very specific details. And he doesn't waste words, but gets right to the point - I like that.
From the very beginning of prospecting for clients to follow up and keeping the customer for life, each page covers so much wisdom and material that it's something to use over and over again. I can see it getting worn out quickly. If there is only one sales book that you should own. Then this is the one.

Imagine a sales trainer looking over your shoulder as you work, telling you specifically what you should be doing. He's endlessly optimistic but also incredibly driven and intense. He loves to bark out list after list of advice. He quotes himself, often.
Sound irritating? In person it would be, but as a book it works. I got my copy this afternoon, and it's already full of Post-it notes, each one marking an intriguing idea I can't wait to try.
Here's one. When you call someone and they're not there, "leave a partial message that includes your name and phone number, then pretend to get cut off in mid-sentence as you're getting to the important part of the message. Cut it off in mid-word." Some examples: "I found your..." or "Your competition said..." The person won't be able to resist calling you back.
There's no index, and the table of contents is hard to find, but those are quibbles. This book delivers on its promise: The Ultimate Sales Resource.
Here's the chapter list:
1. The Rules. The Secrets. The Fun.
2. Preparing to WOW! the Prospect
3. Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself
4. Making a Great Presentation
5. Objections, Closing and Follow-up. Getting to YES!
6. Woes and Foes
7. All Hail the King... Customer
8. Spreading the Gospel
9. Networking... Success by Association(s)
10. Prophets and Profits
11. Up Your Income!
12. Can I Get an Amen?
Another masterpiece from the master! May 6, 2008
