Summary: I beg to differ
Review: I must say that I disagree with the previous comments. I have justed started a career in sales, and when I discovered there was a lot of money to be made in this line of work, I bought a few sales books to help me. This one was by far the best, detailing essential points in a very consumable way. That was only 12 weeks ago. My salary has already tripled from my last job. And belive it or not I have surpassed my peers already! A great book!!

Summary: Insightful!
Review: Noted sales trainer - and the head genius of cold calling - Stephan Schiffman succinctly describes 25 effective sales techniques. Each tip gets a short chapter with a nugget of advice, an example or two and a pat on the back to send you out the door charged up and ready to go. It doesn't matter if you've heard some of these common sense ideas before because Schiffman's compilation is so on-target, lively and encouraging. This little volume reminds you of leading sales techniques - or habits, as Schiffman calls them - that will build your customer base and increase your sales. If you're in the business of one on one product or service sales, this will boost your communications, planning, knowledge, rainmaking, visibility and confidence. Schiffman tells you to ask people what they do and help them do it better by selling into their priorities. Seems clear enough to us, given that the author doesn't only write - he also sells.

Summary: A Succinct And Easy-To-Read Book On The Basics
Review: The 25 Sales Habits of Highly Successful Salespeople is a concise book on how successful salespeople go about their profession. The 25 'habits' are quite basic and hardly represent a revelation to anyone but the most novice of salespersons.
Nevertheless, the 130-odd pages can be a fast and quick review, or check list if you wish, for anyone interested in covering the basics.
The book's title might or might not be referring to Steven Covey's famous series. Either way, The 25 Sales Habits can apply to more than just salespeople.
Pro: A quick read with a quick reference summary at the end.
Con: Too basic for most and a partially dated entry in the ocean of sales collateral designed to launch a training career.
Rating: 
Summary: Weak
Review: There are so many better books on the market and this is quite frankly unimpressive. If Schiffman is a good salesman he does not demonstrate it. I had phone interaction with him once and found him to be obnoxious. The only good thing about this book is that it doesn't cost much.

Summary: Good for 6 Bucks!
Review: Yes, you get what you pay for. Nothing more and nothing less. For 6 bucks what did the other reviewers expect? The book does cover many fundamentals of selling. But its really geared toward the neophyte sales professional. Not the seasoned sales pro. One thing that I did enjoy was Mr. Schiffman's style of writing. His relaxed style of writing made the book easy to read and very enjoyable. But if you want a book that covers the fundamentals in greater depth, then I would say you should buy the Sales Bible instead of this one.
