Summary: Packed with knowledge & fun to read
Review: If you're involved in providing financial advice or services, this book will make a tremendous difference in your business. The Winner's Circle is full of ideas that can be immediately implemented into your business; and backed by the proven successes of these superstars, this book is a reall win-win. Additionally, the author has made it a fun read with numerous stories provided by these top FAs. (These FAs have some great ideas.) This is truly one of the most useful books I have ever seen for the securities industry.

Summary: This book is a "Winner"
Review: Shook takes a very forthright approach to this topic, and uses anecdotes to get the points across. Relevant "case studies" make up much of the text, with ideas reinforced by way of actual success and failure stories. There are lots of advice books around for financial advisors, but no other provides this high level of information. This one's great for people who think they're too busy to read, or just want to read about particular interests, because you can read it through or open it almost anywhere, and learn something. When I read this, I came up with tons of new ideas from many of the different advisors that are profiled, and these pros provide the blueprint for how to make it happen.

Summary: Best book on the subject
Review: There are many ideas that are new, as well as many that aren't. Either way, it's interesting to read about the execution and results; especially the failures. For me personally, many of the tactics are ones my team has utilized successfully for years and we firmly believe work. In this vein, the book was reinforcemnt to continue. For the tactics that are new to us, we are already planning to adopt. The book is fun to read and understand.

Summary: This book was better than my training class
Review: This book provides lessons from the cream of the crop, the mistakes they've made along the way (and what they learned) and the successes. These are lessons based on actual experience. After reading this book, I wrote a new business plan for my team based on the ideas presented in The Winner's Circle.

Summary: Extremely interesting and informative--lots of ideas
Review: This is absolutely one of the most interesting and informative books on our industry I've read in a long time. One of my biggest complaints about books about our industry is that many authors suggest ideas with little back up or prescriptive methods of application. I have been unable to put this book down. The logic and organization of the book is easy to follow, and the techniques make sense. I find every section has a practical application to my business. I will immediately apply many of these techniques and ideas to my business.
