Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don't care or consider: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, or if you are new to sales or a veteran. For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs. Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind.

Just that... Closing the Sale
I sold timeshares. Ok.? Now I close deals. Thank you Zig Ziglar. This books not only gives you specifically titled "closes" to use at certain times but also goes into the psychology of the sale and where the prospect should be mentally when the close is performed. My closing percentage has almost doubled over the six weeks I've been studying these techniques.
If you're looking for a step by step through the sale process, this is it.

Dated materal
This has been republished with a recent pub date, however, the recordings were done back in the early 1990's. While I have no doubt that there is good information in here especially for someone new to the sales field, we are in a very diffrent sales market now than then.
Zig Ziglar is great at this type sales book, but this is recycled Ziglar and not new.

One of the most entertaining and useful business books I have read.
What did you like best about this story?
Zig's personality is very engaging.
What does the narrator bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

What disappointed you about Secrets of Closing the Sale?
This was just a rehash of previous material, spliced together. I was really disappointed and I am huge Zig Zigler fan. First two hours were painful and boring none of Zig's normal charm. Two hours in it switched to stuff he had recorded in the 80's, that I had heard before.

You're only considering getting this book because you want to improve your ability to close deals. This book will absolutely help you do that. Your just have to decide "when is the best time to get better at closing sales?". If it's now, then congratulations on your purchase. if it's later, then your competition would like to thank you, for giving them more time to close the deals you made the decision not to close.
Anyone who is in sales can benefit from this audio book. zig ziglar is a legend and touches on several key points that will remind you of how to sell effectively and the best way to do that is to remember you are selling for your prospects, not to them!

You would be hard pressed to find a more complete sales training book. Zig's credentials were without pier and to find a book of this quality would be near impossible. Enjoy as I have over and over again and maybe we will meet "at the top", or as re more recently used to say "over the top".

Great book, terrible audio version
This audio "book" is actually a recording from a seminar taught by Zig Ziglar himself. The problem is that Zig's elocution is that of a southern preacher which is something I absolutely cannot listen to for more than 10 minutes. It's actually distracting.

Great book on sales
This book by Zig Ziglar is the combination of “Ziglar on Selling” and “The secrets of closing the sale” In which he discusses the details of his sales life and how he can in his words see you at the top. Ziglar is a selling master but methods to get past every questions, objection and rejection. Being over 80 many people believe that his material is dated and of little use in the real world, however, he admits himself that it is up to each and every sales person to read listen and adapt the techniques in his book to each persons own sales system. No book on sales can give you the answers to every question but Ziglar certainly does deal with an incredible amount of them in this book, I would certainly be difficult not to learn new techniques from listening to this book.
Ziglar is an inspirational man, still giving talks in his 80’s. In the book he talks about procrastination as having a “little pity party for yourself”, discusses the fear of sales, the difficulty in asking for the sales, selling yourself, time management and much much more.
In conclusion this book is an excellent resource for anyone in the sales industry... which is everyone as Ziglar discusses, whether it’s a person selling his ideas to a boss, a wife, or children etc. His ideas are easy to understand and backed up with excellent stories which are well told. Many of these stories are about his days selling pots and pans door to door which is why some people believe his material is dated but to be fair if you adapt the material your sales are sure to increase!

Fantastic
Zig Ziglar at his very best.....The idea's and advice given in this recording are still as valid and real as they were on the first day of writing. Zig can sometimes take a little understanding the first time of listening, however, a few listenings and any serious listener/sales person will have an enhanced positve mental attitude. A must for existing sales people, those that are just getting started and anyone who wishes to enjoy a positive and healthy lifestyle. Zig Ziglar is regarded and praised as one of the greats on the motivational speaking circits

Very Engaging, Practical and Useful!
I'm a small business owner and have heard many great things about Zig so after much waiting I dove in and listened to this old gem.
I found the book so engaging and entertaining, Zig truly has a way with words and while it may be dated to some, I found his style fascinating.
The one key point that was hammered home throughout the book is that all of the closes should be translated to your own situation. I admit this requires some work especially in the digital age where the interaction is not live in the case of a website but I firmly believe the underlying principles can still be used and for that this is a 5 star book.
There may well be other books that communicate the principles in modern terms but for my first foray into the world of sales books, I'm glad I started with a classic!

OK for double glazing salesmen of the 80s
Would you try another book written by Zig Ziglar or narrated by Zig Ziglar?
No question Zig was a smart and successful man. Here is the issue, just because you have written a book doesn't mean that *you* have to read it. A truly talented person understands not just their strengths but their weaknesses too. Zig should stick to writing and selling.
Has Secrets of Closing the Sale put you off other books in this genre?
If they are as dated and out of touch as this one then yes.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Because it was a truly awful performance, perhaps not helped by the subject matter to be so dated.
Could you see Secrets of Closing the Sale being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Whoever does this will lose money.
Any additional comments?
If you sell double glazing via cold calling or some other form of home improvement and we jumped into a time machine and went back to the 1980s this would be fine. However its not. Yes cold calling *can* be effective but nowadays its all about making compelling offers to a carefully selected targeted market. Its all about permission these days, provide value first and get opt-ins and then build relationships before selling. With pay per click you can create very targeted campaigns, you can't just dial numbers from a phone directory.

An excellent book, very adaptable to today's world
Even though the book is very old school, the techniques are ver adaptable to today's world where we forget that social media is not the be all and end all of sales.
