5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for every professional library Nov 20 2011
Format:Paperback
Let's face it, we are all in the business of convincing, presenting, positioning, negotiating...call it what you want, but at it's root we are all selling.

This book is the revised of the original (Ver 1 has been a staple in my library since mid 90's) I have used it on so many projects with success that it keeps being used.... and is in my top 5 of ongoing references.

If you've ever racked your brain for the perfect synonym word...you will love this book! Especially copywriters and marketers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Feb 6 2007
By Roger Bauer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Recently I bought this book and immediately made some textual changes to my company website based upon the contents of this and "Hot Button Marketing" by Barry Feig. The two mixed together have already begun to pay dividends in terms of conversions of visitors into prospects which will lead to customers and/or partners.

The lessons I learned as I read some of the material:

1) You may believe you're using the right words to sell (as I did prior to reading over the book), but there are always improvements that can be made.

2) Have fun--if your current campaign isn't working as well as you'd like, tweak the copy by using some of the suggestions in this book to see if a different word sprinkled in here and there improves things. It's interesting to see what a little change can do as enough of them can add up to one big success over time.

In a nutshell, this book is a great reference to have handy regardless of what you're selling.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most-used writing reference tool on my bookshelf May 29 2006
By Janice King - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Words that Sell" has long been the most well-used reference on my bookshelf ... I use it more often than my thesaurus. It is particularly helpful for finding just the right adjective, which is key for any kind of promotional writing.
