5.0 out of 5 stars Bill Good updates his classic work, August 6, 2008
This review is from: Hot Prospects: The Proven Prospecting System to Ramp Up Your Sales Career (Hardcover)
The concepts in this book have changed the way I think about prospecting and have helped me dramatically improve the results from my prospecting calls every day. I have used Bill Good's concepts to build a niche business (retirement plan advice) from the ground up. I have used the Internet resources in this book to find the names of retirement plan participants to call at work, during the day. I then present and briefly qualify those who are interested. I routinely open 10-12 new client relationships each month.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, September 11, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hot Prospects: The Proven Prospecting System to Ramp Up Your Sales Career (Hardcover)
If you have read Bill's earlier book, Prospecting Your Way to Sales Success , save your money! His new book is nothing but a tired rehash of his older book, tidied up to comply with the Do Not Call laws.

However, I'll give Bill credit for one great idea. If a prospect says they're not interested - believe them. Our profession has such a bed reputation due to the old-style training that you shouldn't give up until you hear "no" five times.

4.0 out of 5 stars A step-by-step, proven approach to better sales prospecting, March 23, 2009
This review is from: Hot Prospects: The Proven Prospecting System to Ramp Up Your Sales Career (Hardcover)
If you want to learn how to cook, watch old reruns of Julia Child on TV. If you want to learn how to handle a racecar, enroll in NASCAR champion Dale Jarrett's driving school. And if you want to learn almost everything about sales prospecting, read Bill Good's durable book on the topic. It's a classic. Good is a noted authority on selling - on sales prospecting, in particular - and colleges, trade schools and sales seminars teach his techniques. If you search for his name and the word "sales" on the Internet, you will get more than 40,000 hits. A master sales trainer, Good fully details his sales lead and prospecting program in this popular book, now updated with information on how to use e-mail, the Internet and other technology to enhance your prospecting efforts. If you sell or manage salespeople, getAbstract recommends reading this book - it's a Good thing.
