A great review of selling fundamentals
There is no escaping the fact that this book is from a bygone era, but if you can see past references to index cards, using the customer’s telephone and the general assumption that all businesspeople are men and all women are wives and secretaries,the principles (and they should be regarded as principles, in that they are timeless) remain highly relevant. In fact I’d go so far as to say they are even more important given our current susceptibility to being seduced and distracted by tech and the promise of ‘social selling’. After 30 years of selling technology, I found this book to be an excellent reference to bring me back to some long overlooked fundamentals. The fact that the audiobook is delivered in such a gentle and unassuming way made it feel like being in a fireside chat with your favourite grandfather who has been mentoring you for years. If you like Grant Cardone and his pace of delivery, you may find this a bit pedestrian. For that very reason the contrast provided by this audiobook is the yang to that particular ying and to the typical go-getting brashness of other ‘how to’ books. I loved it.

Best book on selling I've read so far
Very in depth explanations of timeless principles and techniques. The narrator did a good job of bringing the book to life .
This book is a classic I'm surprised that people don't talk about it more. Some of the ideas are applicable to more than just sales; like improving your memory, organising informaion etc.
This books covers everything from giving a structure of the sale to breaking down the individual steps. It also discusses the psychology at work during key moments of the sales.
I will be recommending this book to my friends

Basic but some good logical bits
The content is a mix of obvious bits which just need pointing out and outdated tasks and thinking.
Good value if you take the simple things and action them.
