Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly If salespeople are worried about how to sell, Gitomer (The Sales Bible) believes they are missing out on the more important aspect of sales: why people buy. This, he says, is "all that matters," and his latest book aims to demystify buying principles for salespeople. From the red cloth cover to the small tri...

  Gitomer Delivers Big

If you think you've heard it all, seen it all and been there when it comes to keeping a positive mental attitude and making 10 more sales calls a day, Gitomer's Little Red Book of Selling is for you. It's not the same old cr@* here! Gitomer made me realize that I do make dumb mistakes like spend all my marketing money selling to new prospects instead of old clients. I learned dozens of ways to change my sales efforts--thank goodness Gitomer doesn't charge a commission.
 
  The Salesman's Constitution

If there is a better designed book, I have yet to see it. This is a little 219-page gem with cloth boards and rounded corners, a pictorial cover, a stitched binding that opens flat, four colors of text on high quality matte finish coated paper, hard-hitting cartoons sprinkled throughout, and a ribbon bookmark. With all these extras it should cost at least 50% more, but it's the content that makes it worth many times its $20 price (or $14 here on Amazon). The design makes it beg to be carried around, opened, read, and digested, and that's exactly why it will be valuable beyond the price.

I'm not the type of salesman this book is directed to, but if I were I'd make it the constitution of my professional life. And if I were the head of a sales team, I'd make it mandatory reading. Every sales principle is delivered with rifle-like accuracy, and every objection to these principles is demolished with hurricane force.

And yet, I hasten to add that we're all salesmen (or saleswomen), according to Gitomer, because to be successful the first thing we have to sell is ourselves. "Many salespeople believe that customers buy their products and services first. Incorrect. The first thing prospects buy is the salesperson. The first sale made is you" (page 199). He's right. He tells us how to do that, and that's why this book deserves readership far beyond the world of salesmen.
 
  A Treasure

If you love books, and I love books, you will the craftsmanship of "The Little Red Book of Selling. From the cover to the paper to the handy little ribbon bookmark it is a work of art.

Ok so what about what's inside. This will be a book I will keep with me for years to come. Wonderful reminders of what we all know and very few actually do. Not a book to be read and put on the shelf it is one to be read, studied and re-read. If you sell anything you should own this book.
 
  Could be the best sales book I have ever read....

I have been in sales for at least seven years full time as an Executive Search Recruiter in the US, Japan, and New Zealand. I am a big believer in personal development and so I have read my fair share of sales books. To be honest there are books that forget to tell you that it will be difficult and take time to grow your business and ability but Jeff Gitomer's book does neither of these things. He is brutally honest and at the same time inspirational in his goal to make you the best salesperson you can be.... for life. This is not a book for people who need a quick fix to get them out of a slump or to even convince them that a sales career is for them. Jeff's main focus is on techniques and attitude to be the best. Not half way there, but the very best. He doesn't prescribe shortcuts although you can take pieces of his advice and use them the next day, ultimately he is suggesting you take the time to put your heart into your work for a lifetime. It is a concept that people who go to work for a pay check may really struggle to put into practice for an employer, but for business owners and those who want to push themselves for lifelong sales and professional achievement then I highly recommend this book to you.
