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.

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.

Excellent read esp for the non sales professional

As a entrepreneurial MD this was eye opening. With zero sales background learning about different types of sales ‘dogs’ and how to maximize ones strengths was really excellent

Very well done book and worth every penny.
Thank you Blair.
Well organized and well written.
Easy to understand and some great gold nuggets and pearls throughout the book.

A BIG Thank You to Rich Dad and Blair Singer!

This audiobook has been a huge help in explaining the different personalities of marketing. I always thought that it was me having issues, which in part was my fault. However, it was also the generic expectations of management demanding that everyone has the same strengths and weaknesses when delegating tasks. I am primarily a retriever with some pitbull and poodle. I look forward to taking what I have learned from this book and applying it to my marketing skills. Thanks again!

Blair likes his own voice.

What did you like best about Rich Dad Advisors: Sales Dogs? What did you like least?

Blair keeps trying to sale you on learning sales after you have bought his book. It gets pretty annoying and old after an intro and two more chapters on selling me on sales. just get on with the book already.

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.
