 Heresy or Religion? March 26, 2008

Are you new in the field of sales? Then read on!
This book provides you with almost anything on sales except for the latest technology tricks. Selling a product isn't easy and if you're inexperienced selling is even harder because you're probably insecure. That's why you need books like this.
Being new in the field of sales myself when I read this book five years ago, this book gave me a head start. Motivational and inspirational writing is being combined with common sense and it really makes you act. Several ideas can be implemented at once when a new or existing customer rings you on the phone, that's great about this book.
You don't like to be a salesman? Then at least pick up 'Integrity Selling' by Ron Willingham (available through my reviews). For all you out there who can't wait to start selling, buy this book!
 No Grace for Sales Bible March 19, 2008
When titling his book, I suppose Gitomer was very concerned with drawing your attention away from (much) more enlightening and inspiring books on the subject of selling. "The Sales Bible" offers little inspiration beyond its title.
If you're new to the sales profession, Gitomer's bible is a fair introduction to old school thought on selling practices. If you're an experienced sales person interested in fresh thinking, certainly do not judge this book by its cover!
My recommendation for a fresher approach to the topic: Selling Sucks: How to Stop Selling and Start Getting Prospects to Buy!
same old stuff September 27, 2007

No new information. The man has written 7 books on the same subject. I learned nothing my 20 years of actual sales experience did not already teach me. I was hoping for more than suggestions on how to "out fox" prospects. Nothing really useful here.
 A Definate "Must Have" Book September 18, 2007

If you don't have this book on your shelf, get it!
The Sales Bible is definitely one of the most comprehensive books written for sales people. It is a fun read and Gitomer uses different fonts and bolding to give you a feel of the author's sense of humor and style of "ranting".
This book covers it all; cold calling, networking, the sales process, handling objections, questioning, trade show strategies, 30 second commercial development to name only a few key elements, skills and processes of selling. This only skims the surface. The lay out is simple and the table of contents is detailed for easy reference.
This book is full of proven sales strategies, tactics and techniques that work. Even though this book is a few years old, it still comes out on top as The Ultimate Sales Resource today.
If you are looking for a resource book that contains many sales secrets - this is the book to buy. It will make it to your "favorite's" section in your personal library.

Great resource for sales and marketing September 16, 2007
This book has been very helpful in my venture into marketing our new product. The content is really geared toward sales people. Jeffrey Gitomer is a well-seasoned sales person and offers great advice and personal experience in his trek down the road of sales. His book deals with cold calls, followup, what to do and what not to do, and how to approach sales from a more friendly and uninhibiting direction, among much else. GREAT RESOURCE!!!
