Title: The Little Green Book of Getting Your Way

Subtitle: How to Sell Your Point of View to Others

Author: Jeffrey Gitomer

Narrator: Jeffrey Gitomer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-12-09

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Because persuasion occurs in so many different areas of life and business, Gitomer leads the listener from mental readiness to the principles of getting your way and the power that persuasion offers.

He challenges the listener to prepare before they present, to prepare before they try to persuade. He demonstrates how to change a presentation into a performance and shows how this can be done in any environment. But because persuasion most often takes place in business, he draws special emphasis to the reader's ability to write and sell persuasively. The book talks about the persistence that enables winning persuasion.He brings the Benjamin Franklin quote "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" to the Gitomer level of "You only fail when you decide to quit," and the book ends challenging the listener with how to think about excellence and eloquence. It will be up to the listener to take advantage of the opportunity and harness the power.

Too similar to the info in the Sales Bible!!

Would you try another book from Jeffrey Gitomer and/or Jeffrey Gitomer?

I would try another book from Jeffery , but I would research the hard back copy before buying it on audible.

What could Jeffrey Gitomer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Made it more original. To much of the sales bible in the book. Jeffery is very talented ,however some of his books share a lot of the same content. By the same I mean word for word you read one you read the other. A real let down when your looking to expand your knowledge.

it's okay

the book was okay but chances are if you're already doing any type of marketing or as they say trying to get your way you would notice that he's mentioning a lot of things that you're already doing

Good Version

Liked the fact that this version eliminated the interwoven comments that can make this hard to read - or listen to.

Relevant as ever

Amazing that a book written so many years ago go could still give so much practical advice for today - not just for war but for business. Very short listen with much good advice.

You got to hear it

You got to hear it. Perhaps the book is just as simple as it sounds. But in my mind, I think the lessens are about how to repair my finances. It is a Master telling me how to defeat the enemy, (financial problems). Perhaps to some, it is just “how to kick you ass”. Perhaps others, how to defeat the enemy (where the enemy is the trouble with [fill in the blank]. It is also a curios piece. It also is quick and uses economy when composing a phrase. A lot of bang for the buck.

More than war is explained here

When I was listening to this book (the third version of it) a teen age boy who was near me said this is a women's manual of how to defeat men. I look at it more as a manual of how to conduct one's life. This is a great manual for managers and executives. My first ready was at the direction of an executive. Here you will learn how to change your thinking into a winning thinking model.

At last.....just the author!

At last a version which eliminates most of the interminable notes and comments which

make the author's thoughts so hard to follow in other versions. Amazing how short

the book is when most of that is removed.

Excellent, insightful book, good reading and cheap! Can't beat that combo.

Members Reviews:

Worth wading through the fluff

Although this book suffers a bit from the author's desire to tell lot's of "great deals I did" stories, the non-fluffy content in the book is worth wading through the rest for. There's a good chapter on strategy and tactics. All in all, i'd say about 1/3 to 1/2 of this book is meaningful content.

Don't even think about it

This is a review of the Audio Book version of this title. Simply put, it stinks. I was a T.A. at univeristy level communications production, and have heard student sound projects with more production value than this audio book. The multiple voices are poorly cast for a husband and wife duo who have arguments that aren't realistic or helpful. He sounds gay, she sounds like a materialistic bimbo. Each time they cut to an interview segment of Nierenberg, there is a constant buzz that is noticable. Poor recordings. If it had been a series of records of Nierenberg speaking, it would have been more informative. Although some of the information was useful, it is few and far between, and the low production value of the cassette takes attention away from that. It is obvious that Nierenberg knows his stuff, but this production was not a great communication tool for him. They may have gotten my dollars, but at least now they won't get yours if you are reading this. Two words: Stay Away!

A great speaker and motivator with a great book.

So much wisdom and finesse in the art of negotiating. And real world advice like, "The Value of a service diminishes greatly upon completion." Truer words have never been spoken.

Get the book. If you're in Sales or contracting, you'll find it a valuable resource. I also found him to be an engaging speaker who captivated his audience.

Win-Win negotiating

The term "Win-Win" has become an every day buzz word. I read Gerard's book nearly thirty years ago when the term was really something new. He actually coined the phrase "Everybody Wins." Virtually the same concept.

His examples are creative and pertain to real life situations. It is good to read a book by someone who has actually been there and done that. His other books are quite informative also. ;-)

save your money

Should be rated for ages 6 through 14. Simplistic at best

How to snore

I found this audio book terribly boring. The author instructs you to obsess over so many minute details that you would almost certainly die of a coronary if you followed each of them. A more accurate title for this book would be "How to obsess over EVERY possible detail when speaking, presenting and interviewing until you have nervous breakdown".

I was constantly wishing she would move on, move on, please move on...but she just kept describing each grain of sand over and over again. As with any book, you are bound to find some useful information, which I certainly did in this one. It's just the fact that you have to endure a painful amount of minutia before getting to anything noteworthy. Once you do, you'll be so bored stiff that you wont care. I have to give it to her though, I was wowed in the end. I thought wow, I can't believe I bought this, and wow, I can't believe I listened to the entire thing. I guess I wanted my money's worth.

This is my first written review after 20 plus good books on Audible. I just felt compelled to warn others after taking one for the team.

Concise, Simple, Very Useful.

Valuable information for any reader looking to improve their communication skills. Highly recommended for those in the business of conveying ideas and creating influence.

good guide to communicating effectively

What I like about this book is that it covers so many aspects of self presentation. Even if all the ideas don't suit everyone I think there is enough substance to allow for adaption and personal interpretation. I think the idea of colour as a tool for connecting is interesting and gives food for thought. I'm a lecturer and doing my best to inspire students is of critical importance. I've read several books on public speaking and I rate this as one of the best. In contemporary life getting on so often involves positive self projection that learning all you can about it is definitely worthwhile. This book is a good all round read.

Motivation

I thought that this audio was ok, however it was too short and lacking in the good new motivation material that I haven't heard of before in his other audios. It was just a bad copy and paste of some stories he has told before. I suggest that you save your money and buy his full length audible titles instead.

Classic Zig

Contains a lot of the timeless stories he is known for. He give concise examples & reasons on why positive thinking increases your motivation & how to achieve it.

Zig's over the top!

Friend Mr. Zig Ziglar is not to be missed. But if you do, you could literally be missing half your life. And that would be the better half. You'll see, just take a listen. :)

Truly inspirational. Loved Zig's humorous teaching

Loved this audible. Zig's delivers again in his unique serious yet humorous teaching approach. Highly recommend thus book.

Love this guy!

This is a great kick!!

Zig always is great and this is a great short "wake you up" hour!! If you want a life awaking in 1 hour this can do it!

Inspiring

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the timeless truths. This audiobook is both entertaining and encouraging. I am listening to it for the 3rd time. I find it is a "pick me up", when I need a little motivation. If you haven't heard him speak before, he is Great. He does mention that this is the 3rd in a series. It seemed to make no difference to me, I have had benefit from this one. But I am looking up to see what else is in the series. Happy Listening!

Energetic

Mr. Ziglar is an energetic speaker. I couldn't help but to feel refreshed and energized by listening. His concepts are not deep or necessarily engaging, but they are poignant. It never hurts to remember positive truths.

Great job Zig!
