Summary: Just What I Needed
Review: After reading this book, I found many of the words and phrases from the book creeping into my head during difficult sales situations as well as person situations. This book provided me with several new perspectives on sales even though I've been in the field for many years. It was just the sort of optimistic refocusing I needed at this point in my career. I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking more than just better sales numbers -- it is for those who want success in conjunction with continued personal growth.

Summary: Passionate Tools For Success
Review: As Livesay reminds in Chapter 3, "to effectively sell your assets, you must first be sold on yourself. You have to believe in your heart that you deserve the job and moreover, that you deserve the best that life has to offer..."
I think if there is one belief that is sadly missing from many individuals today, it is this simple, core truth. What 7 Most Powerful Selling Secrets does is beautifully remind us that we can not go through life putting the cart before the horse - if we do, we will continue the same struggle year after year.
We must first start with ourselves. Developing a passion for our unique individuality and gifts will ALWAYS catapult us on the road to success.
Livesay gives us this reminder and does so with great warmth, depth and insight.

Summary: A nice read but nothing new
Review: I bought this book because Tim Sanders, author of "Love is the Killer App" recommended it. I wanted to like this book but I'm sorry to say there's nothing new in it. Save your money for the next Seth Godin book.

A friend told me about it and the things that I have learned from John Livesay are worth a lot more than what I paid for the book.

Summary: Wonderful, easy to read, inspiring
Review: I LOVE this book. I read it in manuscript form when I first received it, and I couldn't stop reading. It was full of wisdom and knowledge and years of proven methods that worked for John. I loved it. I think it will go down as the number one most inspirational book on selling with intregity that has ever been written. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to be successful in business, in the world of sales or otherwise.

Summary: Surprisingly Powerful!
Review: I recently prayed and asked for guidance about what steps to take in regard to moving into the next phase of my business, and surprisingly one of those steps involved reading Mr. Livesay's book. And so I did. What I learned about myself was almost as priceless as the secrets so passionately shared through this very timely book. I was challenged, humbled and encouraged as I discovered and/or re-discovered each new secret. I now see why I was directed to read it. The Affirmations alone go to the heart of each matter they address, whether it's doubt, fear, rejection, etc., and provide words that are fresh and quick to comfort, build up, rejuvenate and empower. In fact, the entire book reads as from Mr. Livesay's heart to ours. I look forward to soaring to success, not only with my business, but in my personal life as well, as I continue to allow myself to be moved with compassion, kindness and love.

Summary: A New Age Book Even a Curmudgeon Can Love
Review: OK, I'm not the most New Age kind of guy. Truth be told, I actually only read the book at the recommendation of a friend. But I'm sure glad I did. I don't think a day goes by now when there is not some incredibly practical idea from the book that I find myself benefitting from.John Livesay is a talented writer (he apparently even has a sense of humor--all too rare in this genre of writing), and is obviously a successful salesperson. My career has nothing to do with sales but there is still so much to gain from reading this book and applying its lessons to my own life and the way I interact with other people. I really feel like with this book under my belt, I will "win" more and feel better about doing it. I'm going to buy 10 copies of the book and gift it to some of my less evolved friends. You should, too.
