4.0 out of 5 stars Like Gitomer's Books, April 17, 2006
This review is from: Stop Whining! Start Selling!: Profit-Producing Strategies for Explosive Sales Results (Hardcover)
Gitomer wrote "Customer Satisfaction is Worthless; Customer Loyalty is Everything" and this book is in that category. It's a book about sales and service that is written in an easy-to-read format, but doesn't just repeat the same old thing that is in most sales books.

He has thought provoking advice like "tell people who want to 'think it over' that it is an important decision and when you're buying a quality product like this, you should make sure you're making the right decision." This will then be followed up with a question like, "WHat exactly do you want to think about, so I can help by providing you with literature?" Most sales books just say to ask the question without laying the foundation that suggests your product is valuable.

I really liked the book. It's my second favorite next to Dave's "Selling with Science and Soul". That book is still my top book for selling.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimare roadmap to sales success!, March 2, 2004
By 
This review is from: Stop Whining! Start Selling!: Profit-Producing Strategies for Explosive Sales Results (Hardcover)
In Stop Whining! Start Selling! Profit-Producing Strategies for Explosive Sales Results Jeff Blackman has written my kind of sales book. It reads as if Mr. Blackman, mentor, instructor, and sales expert, were right there insisting that you do what needs to be done. His book is the perfect roadmap for breaking into, thriving and advancing in one of the highest paying of all professions, sales! It's, full of pithy reminders, sage advice, and best of all, it is instructive and motivating. I own numerous books on sales, and some I've thumbed through, reading bits and pieces,some the reading of which is a chore. This book however, is a sales seminar on paper. Well crafted and full of down to earth information as of how to thrive, survive and advance in the one business where, once you master it, you'll never have to ask for a raise or for that matter work for anyone other than yourself. Sales is the ultimate profession and Jeff Blackman's book is the ultimate guide for any novice or pro who want to be more do more and sell more.
