Who else but Ivan Misner and Don Morgan could compile so many aspects of sales; history, philosophy, technology, management, communication, the arts, relationships, networking and more in one dynamite volume? We may have contributed a few paragraphs to this book but that did not did influence the moment of excitement when opening our first copy. If Masters of Networking and Masters of Success were any indication then Masters of Sales would bring fresh ideas and new energy to our personal and professional lives. We were not disappointed. Masters of Sales is like a treasure chest and each time opened a new jewel falls into your lap. But perhaps the most exciting factor of this book is the dignity, honor and intelligence the authors bring to the profession of selling. The bottom line is that we all are "in sales" to one degree or another so this book is definitely for everyone!

 


 

"If you seek inspiration and ideas, Masters of Success has stories of daunting hardship overcome, lessons learned and unexpected success in abundance. You will eagerly page from one story to the next finding both motivation and encouragement..."

Here are some of the contributing authors who are part of Masters of Success:

  • Linda McCarthy
  • Erin Brockovich
  • Tom Hopkins
  • John Gray
  • Wayne Dyer
  • Vince Lombardi Jr.
  • Michael Gerber
  • Tony Robbins
  • Mark Victor Hansen
  • Harvey Mackay
  • Lou Holtz
  • Brian Tracy
  • Tony Alessandra

For any business person who has suffered from the "common cold call," Misner and Davis' book is the cure. Getting business through referrals-from satisfied customers, peers and colleagues, vendors, even your hairdresser-is certainly a smarter way to sell.

 


 

This is a brief tale of two mice and two humans who live in a maze and one day are faced with change: someone moves their cheese. Reactions vary from quick adjustment to waiting for the situation to change by itself to suit their needs. This story is about adjusting attitudes toward change in life, especially at work. Change occurs whether a person is ready or not, but the author affirms that it can be positive. His principles are to anticipate change, let go of the old, and do what you would do if you were not afraid.

 

 

    

 

All that money you spend on advertising: does it work? Of course it does. But what form of advertising is the most effective of all? Television? Radio? Newspapers? Billboards?

To answer the question about your advertising, consider this: Which of the advertisements you use, when seen by one person, is most likely to result in business? The answer may surprise you, because it's one of your least expensive and smallest ads, dozens of which will fit easily into your pocket or purse: your business card.

 

 


 

Many people spend their lives searching for the means to acquire tremendous financial wealth. They look to external resources to give them what they want, and are ultimately disappointed when their dreams don’t turn out the way they had planned. They either become incredibly wealthy at the expense of their spiritual well being, family, and friends, or they never acquire the riches they’ve aspired to, and in their disappointment, they discover they’ve lost all sense of self-worth.

The Wealthy Spirit is the only book that offers an approach to achieving both spiritual and financial wealth. Through a series of daily affirmations that focus on the reader’s internal strength and capacity for change, this book will set them on a path toward personal enlightenment and wealth in body, mind, and spirit.


 

This fun, practical book shows how to use nine memory hook themes to make you stand out from your competition. Packed with proven examples from many types of businesses and professions, it provides lots of ideas for crafting your own "7-Second Marketing" hook.
