Resumen del Editor

From the best-selling authors of The Go-Giver, Go-Givers Sell More, and The Go-Giver Leader comes another compelling parable about the paradox of getting ahead by placing other people's interests first.

The Go-Giver Influencer is a story about two young, ambitious businesspeople: Gillian Waters, the chief buyer for Smith & Banks, a midsize company that operates a national chain of pet accessory stores; and Jackson Hill, the founder of Angels Clothed in Fur, a small but growing manufacturer of all-natural pet foods. Each has something the other wants.

To Jackson, Smith & Banks represents the possibility of reaching more animals with his products - if he can negotiate terms and conditions that will protect his company's integrity. To Gillian, Angels Clothed in Fur could give her company a distinctive, uniquely high-quality line that will help them stand out from their competitors - if Angels Clothed in Fur can be persuaded to give them an exclusive.

At first, the negotiations are adversarial and frustrating. Then, coincidentally, Gillian and Jackson each encounter a mysterious yet kindly mentor. Over the next week, while neither one realizes the other is doing the same, both Gillian and Jackson learn the heart of both mentors' philosophies: The Five Secrets of Genuine Influence.

The story ends in a way that surprises everyone - and with lessons we can all apply in our efforts to resolve conflicts and influence others.

wonderful approach

this is an excellent book and will give people and approach of how to create winning solutions for all parties. Influence a negotiation , as stated in the book have some negative connotations, this book brings out the positive, and how to use it..

Great lessons

I loved the book and the lessons about influence. I just wish it was longer.

Life changing

This is the second Go-Giver book I have read and find them to always impact my life positively. The parables illustrate positive, life affirming values.

A must read!

I love the book! I couldn't wait to turn it on again to see how it ends.

Rich & Precious life principles !

This book demonstrates valuable principles that can apply to any relationship brought, through an interesting and captivating real-life like scenario.

Great Book

This book does a great job on breaking down the importance of influence and how to achieve it. I highly recommend this book for those who need help or polishing in this area of life.

Good but not great

It has very good content and the final 'chapter' is an excellent part of the book since it summarizes everything in an organized manner. The allegory is good but overall I do not believe this matches the first book of the series which was excellent.

Please understand, the takeaways are very good but it seems the story isn't 'believable' reducing the impact and effectiveness of the lessons. I walk a few miles nearly every day and this was one of the 'listens'. A PDF of the points and outline would have made this a solid 4.

I would rate this a 3.5 if possible.

Practical application of how positive influence is attained!

Articulation of each principle and why it was effective, with specific details on how it was achieved!

Great lessons in an easy to follow story line

So many of the growth and self-help type books are written from such a high-level birds eye view with often little reference to realistic situations, and that makes them sometimes hard to really grasp and use - this is not one of those books. Instead, the authors put you on a journey behind the scenes of several people whose lives all cross in interesting ways. You see realistic situations from the perspective of both sides, and get a little glimpse into how those in a negotatiation may be thinking. More importantly, you learn how and why to proceed into a situation with honesty, integrity, humility and empathy. Sometimes the solution to a problem is not even one of the scenarios you envisioned at all - sometimes the answer is something completely different (and better!) than you ever thought possible. Perhaps the story is too idealistic - but regardless I enjoyed it thoroughly and since this is the first of the Go Giver books that I've read, I'll now be going back to read the first two!

Giver's do gain!

Excellent way of explaining why everyone should be a giver. The things we gain giving is too numerous to explain!
