Selling to Big Companies 50 reviews
Jill Konrath
Kaplan Business, 2005
The new sales...where ethics meet success!
I bought this book at the same time as I bought "Bag the Elephant" by Steve Kaplan. (Do not waste your money on that one!) "Elephant" is full of the old tired sales techniques that we have grown to detest, while "Selling to Big Companies" offers a refreshing approach to selling by not selling. Jill Konrath puts you in the mindset of being a peer and a consultant, not a salesperson. In my personal ...

PowerPrinciples: Do You Have The Winning Edge?28 reviews
Jeb Blount
Palm Tree Press, 2007
PowerPrinciples word of caution! Read only with a highlighting marker.
Who said it takes a three pound novel to get you what you need? Read Jeb's new book! You will quickly discover this book is not written by a consultant or researcher with book knowledge but by someone that has been there and done it successfully.
The book does away with the fluff and is perfect for busy salespeople and sales managers not interested in wading through a swamp of hard to read ...

Telesales Tips From The Trenches: Secrets of a Street-Smart Salesman91 reviews
Joe Catal
Business By Phone, 2002
Excellent Book
This is a no B.S. book on what it takes to sell by phone.
Whether you're setting appointments or closing the deal by phone it really doesn't matter. This is a hard hitting book.
I like the authors no nonsense approach to selling. They're either a high probability prospect or not.
The book teaches you how to get in and out of calls quickly and find the buyers today. The best on phone sales ...

There Goes the Bride: Making Up Your Mind, Calling it Off and Moving On23 reviews
Rachel Safier, Wendy, LCSW Roberts, ...
Jossey-Bass, 2003
Excellent advice and reassurance
This book is a long-needed resource for would-be and not-sure brides! Ms. Safier reinforces what many women know deep down: That if you have doubts, it's time to walk out before you walk down the aisle. An engagement is easier to get out of than a divorce, and sometimes those uneasy feelings are the nagging of common sense and responsiblity, not "cold feet." She also tells you how to heal ...

Sweep #7 - The Calling
Like the rest of the books in this series, "The Calling" was very compelling. If you know the series well enough, it's kind of predictable, but that doesn't make it any less suspenseful. The ending is REALLY sad and shocking. I liked the fact that "The Calling" took place in New York City, as opposed to Widow's Vale - it made for a nice change of scenery and a good atmosphere to introduce new ...

Sarah Young
Amazon Remainders Account, 2004
Excellent daily devotional
This little book was sent to me as a gift after I had major cancer surgery. I have grown to love its daily personal insights, and have recently mailed a copy to my sister who values it as highly as I do. Her husband has also become a daily reader and appreciates it also.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cold Calling (The Complete Idiot's Guide)16 reviews
Keith Rosen
Alpha, 2004
With Keith by Your Side, Cold Calling Works!
Despite what some talking heads may say, cold calling works. I've read both the "anti-cold calling" books as well as Mr. Rosen's books, and I can say that the arguments clearly lean in Mr. Rosen's favor. The "never cold call again" groups really address similar stuff that Mr. Rosen does, which leads me to believe that their position is more a matter of savvy marketing, driven to sell books, ...

Red Ranger Came Calling52 reviews
Berke Breathed
Topeka Bindery, 1997
My Ultimate Christmas Story
The Red Ranger Came Calling has overtaken every other book, even my now #2 pick How The Grinch Stole Christmas, as my "must-tell" Christmas story. I am not able to read it aloud without tearing up at some point, curiously not always at the SAME point in the story.
This is a tall tale, more accurately the re-telling of a tall tale, and it's poignant message to remember to "look up" when seeking ...

Patricia C. Wrede
Magic Carpet Books, 2003
Still a cherished favorite
I first read these books aeons ago when I was in middle school. Now, being 26, I still secret my copies among my much more mature literary fare and pull them out to read every so often when I can't sleep or need an instant pick-me-up. I can't tell you how many times I've read this series, but my paperback copies are all in sad need of replacement. I want to buy a set to tuck away to read to my ...

If you thought spirituality had nothing to do with your day to day life, think again.

Davey is a great guy
Davey is a great guy. He rides his bike all over Seattle. He wears really cool glasses too. I'm honored to be mentioned in the book. Dave is a great writer and philosopher. Everyone should buy this book and give copies of it as gifts to their friends.

When the Members Are the Missionaries: An Extraordinary Calling for Ordinary People10 reviews
A. Wayne Schwab
Member Mission Press, 2002
All Christians on Mission
The emphasis of this book on all Christians as "missionaries" with a mission in life is very important, and the stories help bring home that reality and opportunity for others. I particularly appreciated the stress on the manner in which congregations can help nurture and strengthen Christians for their "offices" - for their "daily arenas" of missionary activities. Frederick H. Borsch, ...

@ the Entry Level: On Survival, Success, & Your Calling as a Young Professional14 reviews
Michael Ball
Pure Play Press, 2003
Mr Ball's book really got me rolling
I've been in the workforce for almost twenty years, and am only now going back to college, but I felt like this book was written just for me. It talks about direction, and uses words we don't see enough of - like Passion, and Value. After working in customer service for so long, every word he said rang true. It is obvious he has studied many succesful people (from the quotes and anecdotes he ...

Mike Brooks
Sales Gravy Press, 2008
Mandatory Reading For Inside Sales Reps
About six months ago our company hired Mike to come in and train our Inside Sales team and help with our cold calling scripts. We had a difficult time finding someone like Mike who truly understands cold calling and the unique challenges associated with it. When Mike came in to meet with us we immediately knew that Mike "got it". Our sales team is seeing great results because of implementing many ...

Great Mary-Kate and Ashley book!
I have read almost all their books and this one was really great! I loved how it was in the form of their diaries while they're away at White Oaks Boarding School for Girls.

Live Your Calling A practical guide to Finding and Fulfiling
This book is exacty what I have been looking for. I am the director of Career Services at Azusa Pacific College and it has been difficult to find a sophisticated book that brings Gods calling together with the pragmatic aspects of finding a career. I highly recommend this remarkable book to use with individuals, classes on life planning or in small groups.

What the world needs now!
This is a book for our times. Christina provides a much needed paradigm - a new container within which human interaction can happen in a spirit of respect and tolerance. It is an important answer for anyone who has ever wondered how to be a peace maker in their own lives and in the world. I have used what Christina teaches, and it enhances every interaction all the way from talks with my ...

From Burned Out to Fired Up: A Woman's Guide to Rekindling the Passion and Meaning in Work and Life10 reviews
Leslie Godwin
HCI, 2004
A book that easily catapults you into the next level!
I found Leslie's book accidentally a year ago in an airport bookstore. I had no idea what the book was about, only that I was burned out working in a small job in a toxic work environment. It was so inexpensive, I bought it. When I began to sift through it, I wondered how these little simple worksheets would be able to do anything like the cover promised - rekindling the passion.
I could not ...
