Not *just* for full-time sales professionals..., April 23 2006
By Thomas Duff "Duffbert" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little Red Book of Sales Answers: 99.5 Real World Answers That Make Sense, Make Sales, and Make Money (Hardcover)
While I'm not "officially" in sales as a career, one of my jobs in software development is "selling" the technology. To that end, I'm always open to new ideas to become a better "salesperson". Jeffrey Gitomer has a very nice, fun little book that has a wealth of practical advice... Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Red Book of Sales Answers : 99.5 Real World Answers That Make Sense, Make Sales, and Make Money. It's targeted to sales professionals, but you can glean quite a bit from it for all areas of your career.Contents: Part 1 - Personal Improvement That Leads to Personal Growth; Part 2 - Prospecting for Golden Leads and Making Solid Appointments; Part 3 - How to Win the Sales Battle AND the Sales War; Part 4 - Sales Skill Building... One Brick at a Time; Part 5 - Building the Friendship. Building the Relationship. Earning the Referral. Earning the Testimonial. Earning the Reorder; Part 6 - Building Your Personal Brand; Part 6.5 - The Final AHA!
Each of the "parts" consists of a number of two and three page questions that Gitomer proceeds to answer. It starts out with basics like "What is the meaning of sales?" and "How do I make a cold call?" to "Am I available to my customers when they need me?" and "What do the leaders in my industry say about me?". Using cartoons, a range of fonts, and a very direct, conversational style of writing, the essential points that answer the question are spelled out for the reader. Gitomer uses his experience in sales to help you understand the steps you need to take to be successful at this thing called "sales". He also includes a number of references back to his website where you can get additional information and/or freebies to help you along. In fact, you can judge the effectiveness of his answers by looking at how he's practicing what he preaches by writing a book like this.
I mentioned I am a software developer and *still* found this book useful. If you're a consultant, a book like this is a no-brainer. You need to be selling your services and talents, and this book can help you do that. And given you're probably a techno-geek, most of the information here won't be intuitive to you (or comfortable, either). Regardless, mastering these skills can ensure that you have a steady flow of customers. Even if you're not a consultant but a regular employee at a company, you should still view yourself as a "sellable" item. Applying these ideas can separate you from your coworkers and make your position much more secure than the guy who is keeping his head down, hoping not to create waves...
This is a small investment of time and money that can pay off in large returns down the road. Even implementing two or three ideas from the book might change your career. If you've never considered "selling" yourself on the job, this book might just change your perspective in a positive way...

Gitomer's 2nd Red Book Highly Recommended for Sales Pros, Mar 11 2006
By Kenneth Calhoun "StockTradingSuccess.com" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Little Red Book of Sales Answers: 99.5 Real World Answers That Make Sense, Make Sales, and Make Money (Hardcover)
In Jeffrey's 2nd "Little Red Book", he delivers again, this time providing practical nuggets and gems of wisdom for sales professionals -- this time taking the other side of the "questions" part of selling, and delivering thoughtful answers.What I liked best about this book was it's readability and easy-to-digest format ... as with all of Gitomer's books, this one helps sharpen your salesmanship by giving you the perspective, the frame of mind, and the "attitude" of a successful sales professional.
Plus, all the answers and techniques he provides are absolutely invaluable for anyone who sells for a living. Also useful at sales meetings, to kick off discussions and more.
Here's what I'd do if I were:
a) an individual sales rep: first, read the book. Twice. Mark it up. Identify which 3 areas you're weakest in (rate yourself on a "great/so-so/need improvement" scale and develop a specific action plan to boost your sales skills in areas needed.
b) a sales manager: I'd pick a topic each week and use that to facilitate individual coaching sessions w/my reps, and/or use it at your weekly sales meetings, for a quick 10-minute "share success stories" to have your sales team kick around ideas for what works, to IMPLEMENT what Gitomer's teaching you here.
Highly recommended - thanks again Jeffrey for a practical, insightful book that's sure to be yet another bestseller.

Every Tough Sales Question Answered - Love the No BS Approach, April 3 2006
By Dave Lakhani - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little Red Book of Sales Answers: 99.5 Real World Answers That Make Sense, Make Sales, and Make Money (Hardcover)
There are a number of things that make this book very good, better than other Gitomer books even.Like Gitomer's Little Red Book Of Selling, this book is designed to be read fast, it doesn't matter where you start or where you open to, you get a complete idea on every page. The other thing that makes this book great is the "No BS" approach. The answers get right to the point. Even when the answers were not as detailed as I hoped (they were great, I just wanted more of them) they did provide immediately actionable steps.
The book is packed with dozens of great ideas and no matter what page you land on you'll find something that you can use. Yes, you've heard some of the ideas before (but chances are you are not implementing them) but, the new nuggets are really very good.
I strongly recommend this book, I believe that any salesperson beginning or expert will learn something and find several new ideas that they can implement today.
