Rich Dad Advisors: Sales Dogs

You Don't Have to Be an Attack Dog to Explode Your Income

By: Blair Singer

Narrated by: Blair Singer

Length: 7 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

The number one skill for any entrepreneur or business owner is the ability to sell. Why? Because sales equals income. Yet many fail financially, not because they do not have great ideas or even good work ethic, but typically because they don't know how to, refuse to, are afraid to, or don't think that it is important to know how to sell.

Sales Dogs was written as the very first of the Rich Dad Poor Dad "how-to" advisor series to teach in a very fun and impactful way how to overcome the fears, the myths, and the obstacles to selling your products, services, or yourself. It teaches a simple, time-proven process of selling that will generate great income in most any business. The listener will learn to master the five most important selling skills, how to overcome any objection, manage a territory, and much more.

The audiobook quickly de-bunks the idea that you have to be an overly aggressive "attack dog" to be successful. It uses the metaphor of "man's best friend" to say that a great sales person is a like a loyal, persistent, and lovable canine. It stipulates that there are five different "breeds" or personalities of Sales Dogs that can each make a lot of money by playing to its strength. You will learn how to identify, maximize, and train to that strength, and also how to teach others on your team to do the same.

Great for those who are new to sales, those uncomfortable with selling, and those who want to get better fast.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

EYE OPENING! VERY RELATABLE! GREAT ANALOGY!

His personal experience gives a lot of credibility to the narrative.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I like Sales Dogs

Any additional comments?

As a realtor and dog-lover, I have to say that Singer does an awesome job with the comparisons between sales people and types of dogs. He is very detailed oriented and his previous experience makes him very credible. Definitely a book I would recommend!

Dogtalk

Good basics, but to much "dog talk" 😴.
If you don't care at all about dogs, the book can be very annoying.

Different Than Other Books on Sales

Blair uses a unique approach to teaching sales. Different than most sales books. Thumbs Up

expected more

the comparison of types of sales dogs kept my interest for several chapters but then slowly faded into too much repetitive jargan. expected more from this book.

Beginners guide...annoying narrative

I wouldn't say this book was a waste of time, nor was it particularly inspired. Covers most of the basic ground rules and advice all sales books cover, without really giving anything new. The Sales Dogs angle was interesting, if you can get past the fact that every possible attribute is given the doggy makeover, which can become tedious.

For someone new to sales, it will be a good foundational book. For those more experienced in the field you might find yourself wanting.

As a point to the author - never self-narrate, stick to what you're good at, which is writing.

Very funny and entertaining as well as informative

If you could sum up Rich Dad Advisors: Sales Dogs in three words, what would they be?

What a crackup! So funny.

What about Blair Singer’s performance did you like?

He did a great job of making the content interesting and fun to learn.

sales dog

I could go with out every other word being sales dog lol other than feeling like I had a product or phrase shoved in my ear I loved the content and information! and it had some humor that was fun as well.

A Good Motivator For all People

The dog analogies throughout the whole story was a bit annoying,and a little hard to keep track of.But outside of that it was a really inspiring book.Not only for sales of self mastery and emotional discipline.
