Summary: "A Sales Book For The Beginner"
Review: A beginners sales book which gives little value to the more experienced salesperson. Was expecting a more dramatic representation of what are the "habits" of the more successful salespersons. Unfortunately this book is somewhat dated and the title is "overselling" the substance of the book.

Summary: 25 Habits of highly successful people
Review: Fantastic book. As a salesperson and the author of the book "Double your Income" I found the book to be highly insightful and well thought out. The sales snippets are easy to use and effective. This is a must buy book.

Summary: One to HAVE
Review: Great book, it just tells you the tools you need to keep your customers with you at all times and ofcourse gain new ones. A must have for a salesperson and I may say that it is a very strong entry to be the bible of the sales bussines. I Very strongly recommend it from expert to beginner.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I am not a negative person, however I do have some negative feelings about this book. I have what I consider "moderate" sales experience, selling everything from shoes, to real estate, which is my current profession. If you are looking for a book that gives you practical, applicable advice, this is not it. It is more of a feel good, hey heres a few ideas that may help you in general type book. Basically a lot of mush. I found myself having to sell my own self on even finishing the end of the book. I made it, but my eyelids were heavy and I was totally uninspired. I am truthfully surprised that this book has recieved such positive reviews. In summary, it was a book of broad, unconnected ideas that will have little to no effect on actual sales performance or customer satisfaction.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I have read a few of Schiffman's books. I have attended a few seminars and I have met with him twice. Every time I come away unimpressed. There is no doubt that he is a good salesman but he is not capable of relating his skills to others. This book is no exception. I believe this book to be a bit simplistic and overall a yawner. It misses the boat for captivity.

Summary: Highly Effective Tool!
Review: I just finished reading The 25 Habits of Highly Successful Salespeople by Stephan Schiffman, and I found it not only to be a helpful and informative book, but also highly entertaining. I was afraid that this would be a dry, technical book that I would have to "choke down" in order to get the information that I needed, kind of like a kid eating spinach for the vitamins! But boy, was I wrong! I really enjoyed Mr. Schiffman's style, and I learned a lot from the information he included; a lot of it is common sense if you think about it, but he triggered the thought process. This is a handy and enjoyable reference book that I plan to keep handy, and have with me on so I can refer to it as I make my sales visits. I especially liked his summary of the 25 habits at the end -- a great "quick reference" to give you a last minute "pep talk"!

Summary: Even the most experienced need the basics.
Review: I like this book. It's has simple, workable, common sense actions. The book does spark the thought. After 23 years as a successful sales professional, with 4 years prior when I wasn't successful, this book is the tool I keep in my case at all times.
When in the midst of a sales action (cold call, needs investigation, presentation/demo or close) it is hard to remember the solid things that work. This book is that reminder. It helps to refer to it before a call, after a rejection or just to start the day.Advanced stuff is great when you have blown your quota away and have lots of time to experiment with NLP, Hypnosis, slight of mouth, etc. However, if you haven't brought home the checks you deserve, read this book. You will certainly get your money worth on this one! See you at club!
