5.0 out of 5 stars To the point, the basics about how to win in business!

Read this when I was 13 and was an eye opener. And guess what? This doesn't just apply to business settings, it applies to ALL settings.. where you learn that "all" people will cost you money! Those that don't mean to, those that are sneaky about it, and those that look you in the eye and tell you they are going to win and there's nothing you can do to stop them. Kind of an eye opener throughout my life as people cost me money & time, yet they had the best intentions.. and still screwed me. lolol

5.0 out of 5 stars Doing a "great job" and "getting paid" is TWO different things...
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2014

If you want to get ahead in life, this is a must read. Robert teaches you how to "leapfrog" to the top, instead of "working your way to the top", which btw is a BS method invented by the people AT the top, to motivate the people on the BOTTOM to work harder or surrender the profits THEY are scooping up.

If you want to get paid what you are really worth, this is a MUST read! Robert explains his lessons in business, which for him was in real estate, but the principles are true and applicable to anyone serious about their own success, especially if you work as a consultant.

Basically Robert talks about 3 different types of business people, who in one way or another tries to screw you over when it is time to pay you. He shows what tools and techniques to use, so you can get paid "impossible amounts" and don't get screwed out of your well deserved money by these three types.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST book I have read! A real eye-opener of the business world!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013

I probably would not have read this book just by reading the title of the book. Fortunately, I was given advise by a successful real estate owner to read this book to better protect myself in business.

This is a book of WISDOM for doing business in America. The title itself is a misnomer. It actually doesn't teach you how to intimidate others but to put yourself in a better position of authority to conduct business.

This is well written book that describes the business world of America. This just TRUTH in the USA.

It describes three kind of people in the business world. It teaches you how to deal with each individual.

This book is a must read for everyone that wants to succeed in doing business in the USA. It helps you strategically plan out and succeed in ever cut-throat world of business.

I emphasize in America because this book would not apply in different cultures of the world.

A few months ago my father and I had a conversation about self-help books. My father indicated that a book he bought back in the 70's made all the difference in his career. Winning Through Intimidation was this book and I feel fortunate that I was able to find it and read it. My father went on to become Vice President of three different Fortune 500 companies. The title of the book is misleading as it makes it sound that one has to be an #@*hole in order to get ahead. This is actually a book about not being intimidated, not being afraid of getting paid for your efforts, not being afraid of success, and the importance of being prepared. Ringer is still alive and well; I would love for him to re-print this book as it pokes fun at all the power of positive thinking books that are out there. If you want real self help this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have given many dozen copies away as gifts

A classic that all aspiring sales professional in EVERY field should read their first year and review every year thereafter. Bob rights to be understood and is as down to earth as a super sales professional ever could be. The book is pointed, frank and full of advice on how to win while everyone else is trying to steal from you. I first read it - thank God - when I went in to the Executive Search industry in real-estate. It saved me more than once the first year when I was working with and then fighting against sharks of all sizes. I highly recommend it and have given many dozen copies away as gifts because it is as relevant today as it was the day it was written.

I read this book quite by accident, picking it somewhere and flipping through it initially. the title is a put off and should have been changed. i simply loved the book. it teaches you how to be hard nosed and deal with difficult and crooked people and how to outwit them. the style is easy and entertaining and its not the sort of book that would bore you. i am a corporate lawyer with a keen sense of how one has to be smart,shrewd and cunning in ones dealings and this book tells it all. i made it required reading for all lawyers in my office. its one of the top 20 books i would give a lawyer to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book BUT SOLD BY OPPORTUNISTS!!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
First, let me tell you that I loved this book! I read it over twenty-plus years ago, and still use Mr. Ringer's insight to life situations. About ten years ago I bought this book for both of my sons and several friends, who also appreciated it. I recently found it again on Amazon for my wife's cousin. Luckily, I bought it for a great price, less than ten bucks, which included shipping! But now some OPPORTUNISTS ARE ASKING TOO MUCH FOR THIS BOOK! If Robert J. Ringer would have sold his book for what they're asking, he would have been a millionaire a lot sooner! $90.00? Not me, Buddy.

Truly a fantastic book and an easy read. This ties in with Dan Kennedy's sort of work when it comes to positioning yourself as the leader.
The book does not meant that you're threatening people; it has to do with compelling people 'have' to work with you.
It also tells you how to protect yourself against the type of people that will try to screw you in your deals (i.e. everyone), and it's damn funny.

4.0 out of 5 stars 相手を脅して成功する法則！
Reviewed in Japan on January 17, 2003
Verified Purchase
　intimidationとは、「脅す」という意味なんです。
　要するに、他人を脅して、成功する法則。本音の成功哲学です。サラリーマンや公務員で一流といわれる人は、やはりそれなりの成功哲学を身につけておられます。しかし、経営者として、戦って勝っていくためには、それらとかなり異なった哲学が必要になります。
　あなたのブレインストーミングの手助けとして、ぜひ一度読んでいただきたいと思います。
　蛇足ですが、日本では神田昌典、アメリカではダン・Ｓ・ケネディが、この書籍を読むことを薦めています。
