From AudioFile

If you need all the basics of a sales course in only 90 minutes--here they are. Created by a sales training expert, the program encompasses everything from sales-call rehearsal to effective closing methods. In between are tips for creating a professional image, handling rejection and prospecting for clients, along with a list of interest-generating questions to ask during sales presentations. Healthy emphasis is placed on the "new model of selling," which stresses a consultative approach. The practical information more than makes up for the dry presentation. D.M.G.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quantity doesn't equal quality, December 1, 2003

If the sign of a good book is having lots of pages, I'm sure that this would be the best sales book on the market. But it's not a good book. Not even close.

The content is valuable, but it's poorly organized. If I followed Brian Tracy's advice on Pareto's Law, then I'd be frustrated looking for the 20% of the content that is actually useful. This is Brian's worst sales book by far, and not a book I would recommend to anyone, let alone someone just starting out in sales.

It would be a better book if he cut the fluff by 75% and got to the point. Instead of "Advanced Selling Strategies", pick up "Be a Sales Superstar: 21 Great Ways to Sell More, Faster, Easier in Tough Markets" by the same author. The content is almost identical, and a much easier read.

Didn't learn much and I'm not someone who's been to seminars. Most of this is common sense and truthfully...a lot of it would work on a feeble minded 5 year old. There is some solid stuff in here but nothing earth shattering.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great cd for the read, May 3, 2009

This is a great audio series to keep in your car if you are in sales. Brian provides great information from start to finish to help keep your sales on track. Great to listen to before of after calls as a reminnder of how to get to or stay on top.
