The Little Red Book of Selling: 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness
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.

He markets himself well, but a lot of things are obvious or questionable
While Jeffrey Gitomer seems to really do an effective job throughout the book of cross selling you on both his other books and his websites, I don't really find this book to really be highly compelling. Early on the in the book he emphasized that he thought an unnamed salesperson was an idiot...

Sell THIS!
Do not read this book if you are a sales person with thin skin... but then again, if you have thin skin WHY are you in sales?! ;-) Jeffrey Gitomer does not waste time on niceties (hence the word "little" in the title). Instead he uses his tongue-in-cheek humor to illustrate key ways that one can...

Needs work... a LOT of work
This book is poorly written, poorly formatted, poorly laid out... that said, there are some good things (else he gets 1 star) but they are few and far between and almost not worth searching for. Mostly a self-aggrandizing tome to himself. Not worth the money or your time as he makes the reading...

The Best Book on Sales I Have Ever Read!
It starts with a "kick" (in the a**) and works its way through to your head. Get your "head in the game", believe you can, and get to work. Even before the suggestion near the end to re-read this book, I had already made up my mind that I had to go back through it. There is so much useful info...

Selling always selling
This is a catchy little boook and I thought it would be inspirational for my sales team so I purchashed one for each. While it has some interesting ideas it tends to be repetitious and covers little new territory.Some of his "inspiration" is a bit crude and offensive. My major objection is the...
