Agent of Influence

How to Use Spy Skills to Persuade Anyone, Sell Anything, and Build a Successful Business

By: Jason Hanson

Narrated by: Jason Hanson

Discover how to use proven spy techniques to bolster your business strategies—from self-advocation to selling to interviewing—and ultimately make more money with this unique guide from the winner of Shark Tank and bestselling author of Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life.

Spies communicate in code and employ a range of techniques to survive in diverse environments. But to be effective they must be business savvy—they must know how to successfully persuade others. In fact, intelligence agents are among the best salesmen in the world.

Whether we realize it or not, each one of us is a salesman. Every day, you sell yourself—your talents, your value, and your ideas to colleagues, to friends, and even to your partner. At the office you maneuver in code to receive a promotion, a higher salary, professional recognition. Now, you can learn to sell yourself even better.

In Agent of Influence, Jason Hanson, a former CIA special agent and founder of Spy Escape School, reveals how anyone can use spy tactics for increased success, from learning how to strategically plan your day to mastering the steps you’ll need to embrace challenges and set achievable, personal goals. He teaches you how to develop a winning sales personality and target the perfect business opportunity using the SADR cycle—”spotting,” “assessing,” “developing,” and “recruiting.” With this invaluable and unique handbook, you will become a more productive, confidant professional or entrepreneur.

In our evolving age of entrepreneurships, corporate careers, and self-run businesses, Jason’s message will appeal to those looking for a competitive leg up, and who entrust the insider secrets of spy practice to take them there.

Former CIA agent turns sales man

While not bad, not worth the audible price. Turned off by the sales pitches constantly. I draw the conclusion as he does for most things you always have to be selling. Just a vehicle to sale his wares.

I think he loses credibility to be by doing this.

But it is good information....

Best “How to build a successful business “ book I’ve ever read !

I’ve read a ton of business books and I haven’t been able to stop listening to this audio book it is so on the money with all of its nuggets of wisdom . Jason is really great at getting you to engage and really absorb his own lessons he has acquired over the years . You will not regret getting this book I promise !

Entertaining, not the right title.

The name of the book and content does not match.
Does not have much on persuasion. More of a storytelling book/ memoir, then an information packed guide on persuasion.
If the title was much clearer on the content, there would be no disappointments.
PS: Have good tips on getting on TV though.

Not too rough. Valuable info

Easy listen. The book should be a little shorter. Some info does not apply to all

Informational

The information provided is very user friendly and helpful. After reading this book you will start to notice the techniques in your every day life and know how to react.
