Summary: Awesome Book!!!
Review: This is a great book. I am new in Direct Sales and this has helped me tremendously. I now know how to target prospective clients and identify their natural tendencies. This helps me out on how to sell to certain 'breeds' of clients and how to close them. This is GREAT!!! Thanks Blair Singer.

Summary: To sell, must you bark or bite...?
Review: This is a wonderful new book written as part of the new Rich Dad's Advisors series. Robert Kiyosaki has asked some of his closest friends to write books on their areas of expertise. Blair Singer stepped forward to contribute his take on salsemenship.'Sales Dogs' is pretty straightfoward. It's a series of comparisons between different types of sales people and different breeds of dogs. Have you ever seen the movie 'Glengary Glen Ross'?? I kept thinking of those characters as I read this book. There's the fierce Pit Bull (Alec Baldwin) who moves in quickly for the kill. There's the old fashioned, loveable Bassett Hound (Jack Lemmon)... who gently walks up to you and nudges your leg and then there's the ultra smooth talking, highly polished french poodle (Al Pachino). I loved this book. It makes some really great comparisions between man's best friend.. and man's (occasional) worst enemy. If you are in the pursuit of financial literacy, I highly recommend this one, with any or all of the other 'rich dad' books.

Summary: Don't spend the money
Review: This was a cute book with really great pictures. If you looking for real sales information don't spend the money on this book. You might want to check out How to become a Rainmaker by Jeffrey J. Fox. This is a great book with real information--and no pictures.

Summary: No substance
Review: Well written with some interesting theories and ideas. But there is nothing here that will help you do your job better, serve your clients and customers better or most importantly go to the bank more often. Some of the ideas and analysis about personality types may be useful to sales managers, but that's about it. If you're looking for good nuts and bolts stuff that you can put to use tomorrow look into Schiffman or Sandler.

Summary: Sales Dogs Weakest of the series
Review: Words cannot convey my disappointment with this book. I can appreciate the effort the Rich Dad books put into simplifying the complex subject of becoming rich. Mr. Kiyosaki does a great job of teaching the subject in his books as do the other Rich Dad advisors. I've read all the books and this one is the most disappointing. I feel the author gets carried away with the dog analogy even though I know he's trying to simplify the subject of good selling. He admits to not even owning a dog until he wrote this book. I would have liked to see this book tie in, or reference information in the Rich Dad books. Instead it seems this book was written quickly without thinking it through. I especially didn't like the cheesy illustrations. If you took those out this book would be half the size. Buy it used or check it out from the library. Not worth full price!
