Summary: Wisdom and Guidance from the MASTER!
Review: Zig IS THE MAN!

Most people in the world experience what is known as NSR... that is Natural Sales Resistance. That is not to say that people dislike sales... but most people dislike and DISTRUST salespeople. A few bad apples can spoil the bunch. For many years, I too was to be included in this catagory of sales reistance... until I discovered Zig Ziglar.

Here Zig presents the reasons why if one is to be successful in sales one must have integrity. One must believe in the product they are selling and _truly_ believe that it will benefit their prospect.

Anyone can be a high-pressure slaestype and force people to buy with gimmicks and tricks... but those people are amateurs. Zig teaches the foundation for building a sales career based on honesty and a genuine desire to help other people.

The entire book can be summed up in this quote... "You can have anything you want in life if you will help enough other people get what they want."

I love this book. If you are a seasoned sales professional or just starting out in this exciting field, get this book and read it. It will guide you in the right direction!

Summary: Practical and Timeless
Review: Zig provides his own indomitable spin on the sales process in this classic for salespeople. There are plenty of stories that you've probably heard before in Zig's tapes, but there are some cool ideas which are timeless. Zig avoids manipulation in favor of positive persuasion, and that means more money for you. As a speaker and consultant on business communications, I can appreciate that.

Summary: Learn and Laugh
Review: Zig Ziglar has some good advice for salespeople. He keeps it generic, so any salesperson will benefit. If you are looking for specific advice for your industry, you may find it less helpful. At a fraction of the cost of a live seminar, you don't have to use too much to get your money's worth.

The best part is the way Ziglar tells a story. I laughed many times listening to these tapes. My favorite story is the one where he tells about his house buying experience with his wife. It took place years ago, but the story is still appropriate and funny today.

Review: Zig Ziglar shares with the reader how he overcame obstacles in achieving success in his life, professionally, and personally. He uses stories to show examples of the "Secrets" to closing deals. Many of the stories he shares with the reader are stories about how he was closed by good, professional sales people. He also offers dozens of closes, throughout the book, and advice on how and when to use them most effectively. This book is a must for every professional's personal library,regardless of his or her field. If you want to be a great salesman, buy the book, follow Zig's advice, and his direction, then prepare yourself for great changes.

Summary: The only book you'll need on effective selling
Review: Zig Ziglar's "Secrets Of Closing The Sale" is probably the best book I've ever read. Not only does it provide you with everything you will ever need to be successful in the world of selling - it thoroughly entertains as well.

"Secrets" provides readers with interesting and humorous stories meticulously tied in with step by step actions and exact scripts for sales people to use in specific situations.

All you have to do is adapt these scripts to your situation and you are ready to start selling more of what you sell.

Zig covers - how to use a tape recorder to explode your selling power - how to use voice inflection to communicate your message more effectively - how to make you and your prospect both winners when you close the sale - and so much more.

Ziglar even has various free items that he will send you scattered throughout the book. Just by responding I've already received three free gifts including an incredible audio casette on voice inflection. It's incredible.

I hope to get to see Zig live one day. He's an incredibly powerful speaker and author. Get this book - even if you have to steal it.

If you do steal it though, read it, learn to sell, sell something, get your commission, then go pay for the book. Zig deserves to get paid. He did a fine job on this one.
