Publisher's summary

There are an endless number of sales books that purport to let the reader in on the secrets of great selling. And many of them even have useful ideas and tips. But it doesn't matter how many tricks a salesperson has at hand if he or she doesn't have the one most important weapon in any salesperson's arsenal: the motivation to get out there and sell!Rhetorical tricks and clever devices, even if they're occasionally effective, don't make great salespeople; hard-working, self-motivated, optimistic people do. The cold, hard truth is that there really isn't any great big secret to sales success. There's only the simple truth: motivated, positive, goal-oriented people are usually the ones who sell the most.

Fortunately, even if you don't think you have these vital qualities, you can develop them in yourself - with the right help. You can learn to motivate yourself to action. You can learn to project a friendly, positive attitude. The Best Damn Sales Book Ever will show you how. Plus, it shows you how to design a set of goals and an action plan that help you focus your efforts and stay on a successful track.You'll find wise and practical advice on:

• Motivating yourself today, tomorrow, and into the future
• Setting long-term goals that spur you to action
• Creating a written action plan for your life, career, or business
• Developing a positive mental vision of yourself
• Becoming an expert advisor and resource to your clients
• Doing more than you have to do
• Constantly practicing and preparing
• Creating and selling value, rather than products and prices
• Being persistent but not pushy
• Knowing your customers inside and out
• Loving what you do every day!

This audiobook doesn't cover the art of prospecting, closing, gathering referrals, or presentation. There are a thousand books that rehash those basics. While those skills are important, they're practically useless without the right attitude and motivation. The Best Damn Sales Book Ever is a one-of-a-kind guide to what it truly takes to achieve and maintain real sales success.

great book

absolutely love this book this is for anybody who wants to learn anything great job

Good tips AND energizing!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Best Damn Sales Book Ever to be better than the print version?

I would never recommend the print versio because the author's voice and spirit is so empowering and energizing to me that the words alone would not be more than half the value.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Best Damn Sales Book Ever?

Warren tells many anecdotes and stories, both from his own life and others', and one story about a desperate man worked his way up from having nothing at all, to being financially successful, was particularly inspiring.

I won't give away anything because I want you to experience it yourself, but the story illustrates, PROVES, that what looks like crushing defeat, IS really an opportunity in disguise. I never understood this until now.

What does Warren Greshes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I read/listen to a lot of sales books and this and Zig Ziglar's material have what salespeople need: an incessant, joyful, energizing, and empowering picker upper in your ear. We need this to deal with the profession we have chosen.

You cannot get this from print, well you can, but nothing beats Warren's and Zig's voices!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It has made me laugh out loud several times, and I am not finished yet!

Any additional comments?

Just get it and buy it for everyone you know. It is amazing!

Fast and ease and single point of contact.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book really surpised me, vert interresting content, no bull****, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the narrator's performance, it feels like you are having a personal lecture on sales by the author. Which is very close to the truth.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Definitely no, there is so many good tips you have to listen in bits at a time and reflect on them, a second and this listen are advisable too.

Any additional comments?

The main points I got from this book were Speed and ease, and being the single point of contact with the customer. Whoever listen to this book will undestand what I mean.

good info, but it is lead based

if you don't have to generate your own leads, you may no t find it quite as useful. there is plenty if good info though

Maybe not the "best ever" but worth a listen

Any additional comments?

This book is not just a book about selling but also is a series of life lessons. It is probably not break through material but what book about sales is? This book is about what successful sales people do to be successful. Warren Greshes gives an energetic performance that will keep you entertained. Full of true success stories, I walked away feeling that I could immediately my business income if I just reset some of my thinking.
