5.0 out of 5 stars Offers a solid basis for selling, June 12, 2006

Reviewed by Bette Daoust, Ph.D. for Reader Views (6/06)

I have read a great many books on sales and selling in the past. I am constantly reading materials so that I can grasp the true meaning of what it means to be sales professional. Even though I really think I would be great in sales, I freeze in my tracks as with any other person that hears the words, "Go and do the sales." Reading and trying to practice all that I can get my hands on does not do the trick to ease the queasiness when I am forced to sell. This book is the first one I have come across that actually explains how to prospect without trying to find excuses for not calling for potential business.

If you read any book on sales, then this should be the one you choose. Winnie will set your mind at ease and then have you following a regimen that will turn you into a Superstar Sales Professional. Her years of experience and her own successes come through loud and clear, "It is truly a matter of going about selling using the right tools."

This book starts with giving you an understanding if you have what it takes to be in sales and then leads through the preparation and attitude necessary to achieve the superstar status. The examples and dialogs presented in the book are clear and easy to follow. My favorite chapter is on prospecting skills. This is the one roadblock many sales people face without enough success to make it a worthwhile activity. Winnie will lead you into discarding old ways of prospecting into something that will lead to solid business relationships by simply just asking for the business. No, this is not a hard sell tactic; this is a well thought-out and realistic approach to getting more business.

Learning good questioning techniques and how to touch base with a potential new client is discussed in detail. So how are your selling skills? Even if they are perfected, this book will give you a solid basis for the new style of selling. If you want to be a great prospector and closer, this book delivers!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you need a great book with sales strategies that are simple to implement you must buy this book!, August 10, 2006

By	C. Markee (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Over the course of my 20 year career I have read many sales books as a sales person and as a sales manager. This book is very simple to read, to the point, no bs, no hard strategies and formulas. Just sound, simple, easy to understand ideas and methods. I have already ordered copies for all of my sales staff to read. I use this book as the focus of all my new staff sales trainings.

One of my all time favorite quotes is "Common sense is not so common." -Voltaire. This book is about using common sense with good common sense ideas and strategies to implement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Run don't walk to buy this book!, June 29, 2009

By	Traci A. Browne "www.red-cedar.com" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Aside from being a great book for sales professionals this is exactly the kick in the pants every small business owner needs. Winnie keeps things simple and straight forward and leaves the BS out. Almost all books on sales I've read talk about how to trick the customer into calling you back. Most tips they gave seemed just a bit swarmy. Not this book. Her tactics are extremely professional and feel good when you implement them.

It's only 118 pages but I ended up with 20 pages of great notes and scripts, every objection I could think of and a clear concise response to every one leading me closer and closer to getting the appointment or closing the deal.

I've already told 10 people to run out and buy it immediately. Can't wait to track my progress.
