Summary: Useful basic info
Review: "The One Minute Sales Person" is a book about sales. As the title suggests, the focus of the book is on various activities that you can do in "one minute". There is a lot of emphasis on the 80/20 rule, which says that 80% of the work is achieved by 20% of the effort. Basically it is a book about how to effectively prepare and present a sales presentation. The "one minute" stuff is just a brand and at times seems a little forced.I like the book because it is short and easy to read. It contains useful, practical tips that are good if you are a beginner to sales. It puts a lot of emphasis on caring about the customer and finding out their needs, something that we all lose touch with from time to time. Some things I don't like about the book include the third person perspective. Constant phrases such as "he had his doubts", "he wondered" etc become annoying and a tad confusing over time. The material is presented as a series of exchanges between a novice salesman and the mythical "One Minute Salesperson". Again unnecessary and garbles the message. All in all a good introductory text if you're new to selling. I got through it within an hour or so and did learn a few things.

Summary: One Star too Many for this book
Review: For simple people with simple minds with simple items to sell to other simpletons. Selling does not have to be a complex process, but this book would leave you to believe that life is a Saturday morning cartoon. Save your money, save your time, and buy any of a thousand other books on the topic.

Review: I bought the audio tape and listened to it on a cross country flight to a job interview. I restructured my presentation to comply with the principles on the tape. I sold myself and got the dream job by beating out twenty one insiders!

Summary: this book is not as good as it should be
Review: i was attracted by the book's tiltle, and, was ecouraged to buy it. After reading through the first pages,finishing the book felt like doing your school homework.It is totally unattracting to read and the way of authoring the book is really boring. it must be rated below 5 stars for sure.i would give it 3 stars; only for the very limited valuable information it contains within.

Summary: Excellent book for anybody in sales and customer service
Review: I've been a Financial Avisor for three years, and read a lot of books on how to understand the client. You first need to understand yourself and why you are doing the things you do for yourself and others. It is important that we work on purpose and that will give you a solid foundation on how to communicate with others. This book will teach it to you and you can use its pricapals to enhance your life. But you need to share it with others.
