Book everyone needs to read to learn from experts

It's been said there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. Perhaps if would be fitting to amend this to include the fact that sales are an absolute certainty in this life. Who has not dreaded the purchase of a vehicle or trip to a retail store where a hoard of salespeople surround you looking to score the latest commission? A closer look at "sales," however, indicates it is a fitting filter to understand many vocations. Isn't the minister actually a salesperson who is intent upon moving his parishioners ever closer to a "close?" What of the school teacher who daily sells the student on the need for an education so that they can live their dreams? Of course, those who actually sell goods are what are stereotypically imagined by the term sales. Everyone can benefit from the refreshing book, Masters of Sales, a work full of practical ideas born out of the actual practice of modern "master sellers." The work is skillfully divided into short vignettes grouped under a common theme, such as: The Buyer's Perspective. Those who sell on a day-to-day basis will be inspired by sales legends: Zig Ziglar, Martha Stewart and Brian Tracy, just to name a few of the 73 who have corroborated on this work. The vignette that resonated the most deeply with me was the one supplied by Jack Canfield, of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame. He elaborates how he and co-creator Mark Victor Hansen sought the advice of Ron Scolastico and utilized his Rule of 5. Every day, ask yourself, "What five things can I do that will move me closer to my goal that will make a quantum leap for my career?" Then do them. If everyone read and then put this vignette into play - the very nature of industry would be changed in a few months. If your career even peripherally involves sales, then you would love this book. If I purchased only one book in 2007 - this book would be it, hands down. I inhaled this book and look forward to more books in this series. Armchair Interviews says: Super book about sales that should be on your bookshelf.

The Best Of The Masters Series

The title just hits the tip of the iceberg! Masters of Sales is really Masters of Life. Whether you are in sales or not this is a must read. My first instinct was to read the stories from the big names like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy & Martha Stewart but the lesser known names have tremendous content as well and very enjoyable to read. I would definitely recommend this book!

The masters share their secrets

Sales used to have a negative connotation but this is no longer the case. Just look at the line-up of contributing authors. This book gave me a wider perspective through the eyes of the masters. We all relate differently to each other and I am sure you will find an author in here that you can relate to, and better understand systems and ideas that will help you become a master of sales. What I liked in this book was the wide diversity of the contributing authors, and getting an insight into their philosophy of sales. This book not only talks about the theory of sales but rather gives tangible solutions.

Masters of Sales truly gives you all of the inside secrets of the best sales people out there! Each chapter has plenty of great tips, new strategies, and even proven sales tactics. This book is exactly what you need if you want to become a Master of Sales!!
