5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, March 7, 2006

By	Carlos Ortiz (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ziglar on Selling: The Ultimate Handbook for the Complete Sales Professional (Hardcover)

This book helps to keep your chin up. Sometimes in sales it can be discouraging. You can only take so many `no's. This is a useful tool to help you get on top and stay there. Ziglar is an incredible teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Responding to "slow down ziglar", July 25, 2006

By	Robert Mckee (tucson, az) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ziglar on Selling: The Ultimate Handbook for the Complete Sales Professional (Hardcover)

This is a great book. Most of the stuff that Tony Robbins teaches in his 300$ influence programs has the same exact tenants that Ziglar teaches. Ziglar is the best teacher for success principles, period. I have studied in depth brian tracy, anthony robbins, earl nightingale, jim rohn, and anyone else of note in this field. Ziglar is the best all around. Earl did start it all with lead the field and that may be the best condensed program out there BUT Zig is the best today. Tony and Tracy are 5 star speakers also.

With that said, this book is awesome and really teaches you the most important factors in learning sales. It is all fundamentals.

As for the guy who said, "slow down zig", I find that funny. A human can only speak at about 250 words per minute, 400 words per minute if they are blazing fast. As for how fast your mind can think, probably 1,000 words per minute or more. Good readers read at about 500 wpm or more. So when you say that he is moving too fast for you, I have to wonder if you have issues. That must be a mental block for you because there is no problem at all with the speed of his presentation. STEP UP and STOP WHINING! Start selling!

How good of a salesperson can you be if you complain and can't focus on the material. Everyone is a critic nowadays. Get out of selling and get into movie criticsm. GOOD DAY SIR! lol
