Think Jeffrey needs to start coming up with something new or fresh - this is a third book from the author I have read (listened to in audio format in this case) and it just seems rehashed stuff from his other books slightly altered to make it seem different where he has bothered
And his shitty annoying method of talking doesn't help the cause either when he tries to mimic a weak salespersons persona - just makes the listening more annoying and if anything cocky because his style in sales is by no Think Jeffrey needs to start coming up with something new or fresh - this is a third book from the author I have read (listened to in audio format in this case) and it just seems rehashed stuff from his other books slightly altered to make it seem different where he has bothered
And his shitty annoying method of talking doesn't help the cause either when he tries to mimic a weak salespersons persona - just makes the listening more annoying and if anything cocky because his style in sales is by no means the only answer - more than 1 way to skin a cat to put it best - rest some seems common sense or dated
Waste of time if you haven't read anything from him before in my opinion
This book is gold. Jeffrey Gitomer's style is no holds barred, so be prepared! He pulls no punches while offering both philosophical and practice advice to make more sales. He doesn't offer a rigid step by step process but recommends methods and processes that peppered with tips and tricks to make rain.
Here are my notes:

What can you ask that differentiates you from your competition? Look at your products and services in terms of ownership instead of purchasing. Where would be the first place that you would drive this car when you own it? NOTHow much money do you have for this project (budgetary questions)
Make a list of the ten best questions that you ask and cross off the ones that your competitor says. Keep doing it until you have questions that can beat the competitor into the ground.
Bring along a customer to a prospect
Why did the last ten sales say yes and why did the last rejections happen and why? That will tell you what to do.

Two most killer questionsWhen you are buying X what are the three biggest mistakes that people make? (larger the purchase the less people want to make mistake)When I say X what one word comes to mind? (give top of mind awareness and feelings on it)
Know what is takes to get their business don’t ask
Ask the right questions: “people don’t like to be sold but they like to buy”What’s been your experienceHow that this helped your profitHow have you experienced?
Price objection brings up
If customer asks how muchAsk permission to ask a question (qualifying)Ask question quick questions that leads to a price offering that assures purchaseNeed DesireStatusBe certain they perceive value“Our prices are fair and firm” then establish their value
Be proud of the price
Testimonials are the best way to overcome price objections
Difference between a stall and an objection (let me think about it / too high no) they are mostly not the real reason
Prevent objections don’t respond to them, deal with it during your presentationA lot of people tell us X but here are some testimonials that explain or whateverOr some people tell us X but we’ll deal with it later in the presentation because I wouldn’t want to waste your time
Buying signalsIf they ask a questionMost powerful: how much is it (prospect is thinking ownership)
Ask for the saleAsk: what’s the risk? (when do you want to start next risking)Ask: when is the next job? (get one job to prove yourself)Ask for an indirect commitment (how many people need to be trained / how many?)What’s preventing you from doing business?If obstacle, is that the only reason?SenFair enough? (Let’s do this trial job and if you’re happy X if you’re not no price, fair enough?)Ask with humor..When would you like to do that?
Ask for the sale when the mood is right
Ask for the sale in a sincere friendly and professional manner. Ask early and often!
How do buyers decide and what they are looking for. Perceived difference in your product and service with competitorsBetter perceived value than competitor (not price)Little or no risk from purchasing from youBuyer must like, believe, and have confidence and trust (begins with like)Lowest price (only after the first four fail or need more room)Decision maker needs to be feel comfortable about the deal

Wow me or lose me
The objective of selling is engaging and harmonizing

Following upCreativityGive valueGain their interestNothing about your walletSomething different thanOffer something to advance saleTell them a new dealExpect a package in the mailMake an appointment before you leave the office
Add enough value that they are attracted to you: value added services or products are something that you sell and you want people to buy not to sell
What is give value first? They bought it and you don’t have to sell it.
Angry customerEmpathizeDetermine speed of needFigure out what you are going to do about it nowTell them what they want to hearDon’t blame other people etc
Dealing with price issuesSupport price as the true price “why”Higher price reason better customer service, follow up, etcTestimonials of customer who were anxious but glad they didSell competitive edge not pricePrice with relationshipSell on everything but price, value / quality / etc

Keep talking to a prospect until you believe that you can no longer provide the best solution to the customer or until they start screaming in your face.If customer says no, explain this to them. I believe in the product or service so much that I am going to keep communicating with you until we can find a workable agreement or you start screaming at me and call the cops.This demonstrates that you truly believe in your product or service

Personal commercial (ask first and then commercial) less than 30 secondsGive first: Exchange names and then “I meet a lot of people and one of the best for me to get to know them and them to get to know me is to ask ‘what’s the perfect customer for you?’ and after you’re done I’ll go through my mental database and see if I know of anyone who might be a good prospect for you.”What do you do commercial: Hand coin business card “I’m the best sales trainer in the world.” Chat // How many of your sales people didn’t mean their sales goals last year?Deficit commercial: How much $ do you think it will take you to retire? and how much of that do you have right now? // My job is to take you from where you are to where you want to be. I don’t know if I can help you or not but if you’re willing to bring some of your pertinent data to maybe a breakfast, I’ll take a look at it. If I think I can help you I’ll tell you and if I don’t I’ll tell you that too. Fair enough?Make sure to tell you what you do when you’re *done*

One of the best sales books on the market. Short easy to read sections means anyone can get through it as time allows. Full of great insights and useful, practical knowledge. I buy multiple copies and send them out to sales reps because I know the value it provides and how it can help any sales person increase their closing rate and become a better sales person.
If you are in sales, this should be on your desk.
Very straightforward, easily applicable ideas for sales. Many of the “99.5” tips can be applied in other lines of work. I’m a teacher and I found several excellent takeaways.
Gittomer uses language that feels like he’s talking to a guy or a group of men. I suppose he would say to the women readers or listeners “if you can’t deal with that little bit of discomfort, then toughen up lady”.
It’s still an excellent book - for anyone.
I liked the second Little Red Sales Book by Gitomer even better than the first. I think the presentation of this one was much easier to digest.
Gitomer takes 100 questions and breaks them down into 1 to 3 page summaries. The summaries contain what to do, or not to do or some suggestions on how to come to the best answer on your own. The book itself is a great confidence builder and proves there are answers available to every question.

Honestly, I think the first chapter was the most influential. In this section Gitomer talks about bettering yourself and your attitude. This is a critical foundation for success and I'm glad the author takes his time explaining how important this part of life is.
There were a few sentences that came across as arrogant but that's not surprising. Gitomer not only believes he is the best in the world but has quite a bit of proof to back him up. If something struck me as too over the top I simply ignored the sentence and moved on. There is more than enough high quality advice within to overcome that one tiny flaw.
After this I am very tempted to pick up the Little Black Book of Networking, also by Gitomer. There are many suggestions for further reading within both of the Little Red Books as well and many of them were not familiar to me. So Gitomer not only provides you with highest quality advice but also the means with which to educate yourself further.
Overall, I was extremely impressed by this work and look forward to using the techniques within. This is one book I'll be reading many more times and expect the value of the advice to grow in the long run. . more
This is a great little sales resource book - it's a bit cheesy (and self promoting) but I did think it had some good tips for someone starting off in sales with a million "How do I. " or "How should I. " or "What's the best way to. " questions. There are suggestions on setting appointments, how to ask for the sale, how to close a sale, how to get past the gatekeepers, how to structure messages (email, voicemail, and written), how to stay ahead of your competition, etc.

A great book to set right foundations for your sales career. I have not been in sales but yet this book helped me understand sales and identify the key skills I need to groom to be successful in sales. The author explains his 12.5 sales principles in simple and straight way with examples of the real world situations sales people face on daily basis.
I would recommend this book to everybody who wants to get started in sales or even an experienced sales professional. Highly recommend !!
I don't know if I am not in a place to read and absorb this information or if it is the same information that has been presented in his other books just recycled.
The first two I read were fun and easy reads. This one was not. Infact, I couldn't finish it. After 3 months of trying, I gave up.
I may revisit it in the future.Disappointed. I don't know if I am not in a place to read and absorb this information or if it is the same information that has been presented in his other books just recycled.
