Critic reviews

"Written by a British sales pro, this book is a well-organized collection of every philosophical, strategic, and scripting idea that’s ever been offered on the process of selling. Hazeldine is a leisurely writer who unfolds a lot of thoughtful advice on gathering information from customers, reading their signals, and closing the sale. David Rintoul’s performance is a joy to hear. With his total command of the spoken word and believable engagement with the author’s mission, he provides a smooth way for listeners to comprehend the principles of high-level selling as well as the tactics. Rintoul’s relaxed pace may be frustrating for listeners accustomed to high-power sales audios, but for most the pacing will help the process of absorbing this satisfying lesson."

Good Basic Information for the new sales person

What did you like most about Bare Knuckle Selling?

back to basics selling tactics some i have used many times but brought back things ii had forgotten, makes me want to go out and teach some of the very poor sales people out in the field today !

What was one of the most memorable moments of Bare Knuckle Selling?

10 closes, they are very useful and once in the mind you will use them in the subconscious mind

Have you listened to any of David Rintoul’s other performances? How does this one compare?

no first one

Any additional comments?

This book is worth two visits at least, you need to think about it. Think for the long in the tooth salesperson am i doing this every day, am i missing out things because they don't need to hear it, then miss the sale. this book makes you think about all aspects of selling nothing changes, just us as salespeople become complacent and lazy we the look to others to blame, every time we point that finger always remember how many are pointing back at us !!

for the new sales person looking for a way forward read or listen to this book as many times as you can don't be listen to local radio, or pop music, on your way the next pitch, listen to something like this and Close that sale stay focused, stay positive. you will WIN..

Stop And get this Book !

Would you listen to Bare Knuckle Selling again? Why?

This book offers a lot to a salesperson - I'm in business to business sales over 12 years and A lot like driving a car you pick up bad habits along the way over time.
This book is entertaining in a sales way and the narrator subtly challenges you to up your game and operate at your highest level while at the same time giving you some great tools. Most of this is not Rocket science but the truth is a great salesperson develops a consistent structure to sell their products this book captures this nicely.

What did you like best about this story?

Simple but effect comunication tips, personally I loved the chapter about discovery and questioning an area that I believe is key and so often skipped in the sales process.

Have you listened to any of David Rintoul’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Sorry but no, I liked his style and found it engaging.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Moved me is a bit strong a term :-)

Any additional comments?

I liked it and great point of reference and a must have for any budding go getters!
