3.0 out of 5 stars A Succinct And Easy-To-Read Book On The Basics, January 19, 2004
By 
AliGhaemi (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
The 25 Sales Habits of Highly Successful Salespeople is a concise book on how successful salespeople go about their profession. The 25 'habits' are quite basic and hardly represent a revelation to anyone but the most novice of salespersons.
Nevertheless, the 130-odd pages can be a fast and quick review, or check list if you wish, for anyone interested in covering the basics.
The book's title might or might not be referring to Steven Covey's famous series. Either way, The 25 Sales Habits can apply to more than just salespeople.
Pro: A quick read with a quick reference summary at the end.
Con: Too basic for most and a partially dated entry in the ocean of sales collateral designed to launch a training career.

4.0 out of 5 stars Schiffmans' 25 Sales Habits Book Is Very Useful, February 4, 2006
The best thing about Stephan's 25 Habits book is that it summarizes what it takes to be a successful sales person.

It's easy to read, and even when you're an experienced sales pro like some of us grizzled old veterans are, you'll still find that there's things you could improve upon in what's explained.. so it's a great "self check" and tune-up, for all levels of sales reps.

Schiffmans' books (and Gitomers) are ones that I recommend all my clients read, as they're important, and their techniques work.

This one is useful, a good overview and primer of what sales success is all about. Nice work.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought the book was powerful., August 12, 1999
By A Customer
Sales is a profession where motivation is essential. The biggest problem that professionals encounter is their own negativity. This book is inspirational. It reminds you to challenge yourself.
