Great message but poor delivery

The message and stories are good advice but sometimes can reeks of sly methods.

Delivery was poorly recorded and extremely poorly edited. Every chapter starts and ends with this very cheesy annoying music that overlays the message. The music volume is so high that you cannot hear the main message.

I want to love this book but the music makes overlay makes me want to delete this book Everytime I hear it.

annoying music during voice over.

what is with the music during the reading? Very distracting and annoying. Otherwise it might receive five stars. But this was absolutely annoying.

Interesting points, but feel Gen Z will disagree with most concepts…

I learned a thing or two, but not sure how relevant it is to 2023. A whole new generation and thought dynamic. Interesting perceptive nonetheless.

Great info

What did you love best about How to Be a Rainmaker?

Loaded with tips and tricks. This first listen was just to get familiar. The second listen will be for taking notes.

great information unfortunately from Nightingale

The content is excellence and actionable, at least what is not drowned out with music. The narrator is clear, when not drowned out with music. Unfortunately another poorly produced Nightingale production. If I did not know that it was great information, I would have skipped it when I say it was from Nightingale.

No nonsense. Practical. Easy to understand

If you are a newby in sakes, this book will give you a great idea of what professional salesmanship should look like.

Meh

A lot of frivolous information with a few profound and very helpful points woven in. I will likely listen again somewhere down the road, but for now, I’m very happy to have finished this one.

Less than I expected

I have read this book and hoped this program would have had more elaboration and discussion about what it takes to be a true "rainmaker" instead it was filled with the same content but anecdotes about how to some of the stuff mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, I found some of the content valuable, I guess I was just hoping for more.

If you've never read this book, get this program, if you have, don't bother.

The book feels like one big sales pitch

I already bought the book. I understand starting out with a few sentences talking about what a rainmaker is and why I should care, but the first 1/3rd of the book is just pitching the book. It got so boring spending 2 hours to the author talk about why you should be a rainmaker. Hell, the author breaks into poetry on why you should follow their method at one point! I couldn't even finish the book. In all that time the author made 2 small suggestions, and then went back as too why you should be that person rather than why the suggestions work.

Hot garbage

This is easily the worst, most childish, most emotionally stunted sales advice I have ever heard. Stay far, far away from this poorly written, incompetently read screed.
