a big let down

i couldn't finish it. I've listened to 8 books about sales, and this one, while in essence correct, many of the "scrips" or objection handling lines are just too generic, overused and costumers know it. Some of these technics could even lose you deals. the quality wasn't great and personally I found it hard to listen to the accent...
Overall, a good book for a beginner, but I think most of this material is covered in books that are 6 hours long and on top of that, are recent.

Great to listen except for annoying Tom Ziglar

I love the energy Zig has in his voice, a great story teller. Concepts of the sale is great and very happy to apply a lot of the techniques in real life where its all about being energetic, having happy attitude, integrity, trust. Some of the techniques are however not really applicable probably in real life or in current time.
Tom Ziglar is very annoying, not sure why he felt the need to interrupt, he definitely takes the rhythm and tempo out of sync. Nevertheless, great book to listening, Zig transfers the energy to listener.
