The strong points of this book are that it gives you tons of advice on how to deal with various types of people and situations. Written years ago it is definitely NOT Politcally Correct as it has sections on how to deal with Jewish and African American customers etc. At least my old yellowed copy I found does. not sure if that has been edited out since.

The story that supposedly happens for the author to learn the selling skills has to be the cheesiest thing I have ever read. Complete with a Mr. Miagi-like character who cries while he gives his "most serious selling lesson ever." It culminates in him literally disappearing, leaving the author to ponder the wisdom of this old man. Absolutely ridiculous. My whole office loves it actually as it is relentless at times, no holds barred and over the top cheesy. Kinda like a bad Jerry Bruckheimer movie.

I see the world in a whole new light...seriously! No fluff in that statement. After reading this book, I can truly say that I know how to sell anyone, anywhere, at anytime. It is so exciting to know that I can start my own business where I will be able to sell just about anything, and I know I will succeed at it. If you are like me, you hate to hear all of the inflated qualities of any topic. You want the bottom line! Well this book gives you just that. So, if you want one book that tells it all, here it is. When I open my business, I am going to give every salesman this book, and I know I will have a very successful business.
