Zig is amazing, his son, not soon much!

Zig is a genius! I only wish his son didn't ride his coattails and speak. Unfortunately, he doesn't add any unique perspectives or insite, just restates the obvious. Hard to add to perfection. Not his fault though, no one knows George Washington's son either....bet you gotta look it up.

Total shock for most, the father of democracy, only had step kids, no biological offspring.

See You At the Top!

What did you like about this audiobook?

The audio edition is definitely better than the print version.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

Jesus is the greatest salesman and to get a red letter Bible to study how Jesus would use the power of questions expertly.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

I love how you get two perspectives, one from the father and another from the son. It's cool learning about their practical examples and perspectives.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

It's too long for one sitting, but I'll listen to it again for sure. Next time I plan to increase the speed though.

Do you have any additional comments?

It's an all-around great message of empowerment and importance of ethical sales.

Combo

Zig is a genius. Too much redundancy in presentations. Add-in off Tom Ziglar was klunky, should have been left out.

Worth it

An amazing amount of useable information packed into this book. Worth the time and money no question. Just perhaps listen to at 1.5 speed.
