Don't Bother

If you've been in sales for more that 15 minutes, you should already know what this is about. 99% of this information is sales 101. If you are a beginner, some of it (that isn't basic common sense) should be helpful to you. What is most frustrating is that each segment is a sales pitch from the presenter itself. Save your money and listen to your sales manager!

Very basic stuff

Basic, Basic and even more basic .......

Good for a pep talk

Chapter by Chapter

Jim is my coach, but awesome convinatiom of great speakers and leaders, a most have!

first was informative

the first half the book was great. the last half the speakers where not keeping my attention

A Collection of The Selling Standards

What did you like best about Ultimate Sales Success? What did you like least?

This is the first audio book I've bought where the chapters actually mean something. i.e. One per speaker. Most books don't lend themselves to that, but it's nice here. If only they could be labeled for content too.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

I might, but I've been around this subject for thirty years, and only a few things were new to me.

What three words best describe the narratorss voice?

Each chapter is by a different speaker, and most if not all are the authors' of their own work. They're professional talkers, so you'd expect them to be pretty good.

Who do you think would benefit most from listening to Ultimate Sales Success?

A newcomer to sales might get a lot out of it.

Any additional comments?

There are the inevitable references to the speakers' websites, audios and videos for sale, etc. etc., but there's also some meaningful content. Sales speakers tend to confuse positive attitude with a license to be full of themselves, and this collection is no exception. Expect lots of threadbare selling acronyms, alliterations and cliches. One of the group is new and fresh to me, and I may even buy something from that one's website, but otherwise this hasn't been my favorite Audible purchase, I'm afraid.

Title: The Art of War for Women

Subtitle: Sun Tzu's Ancient Strategies and Wisdom for Winning at Work

Author: Chin-Ning Chu

Narrator: Marguerite Gavin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-07

Publisher: Gildan Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 140 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Would you like to transform your weaknesses into strengths? Succeed at work without compromising your ethics? Integrate your style and personal philosophy into every action you take? If so, this audiobook is for you. Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who they are and, more important, who they want to be.

In the West, when we think of war, we imagine battle, casualties, brutality. But Sun Tsu, who wrote The Art of War 2,500 years ago, was Chinese, and their view of war is not about fighting. It is about determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict. That's why his book is particularly appropriate for women, as most women are not comfortable with direct confrontation. Women are natural negotiators and problem solvers; most prefer win-win situations, rather than "winner takes all".

Sun Tzu's book is about the application of strategies, and every strategy requires us to understand the people around us, our own strengths and weaknesses, our goals and our fears. We must integrate ourselves and our unique talents into the strategies we employ in order to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our goals and dreams.

The Art of War is the most influential book on strategy ever published, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide. Written by one of today's foremost authorities on Sun Tzu, The Art of War for Women is sure to become a classic in its own right.

Title: Do You!

Subtitle: 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success

Author: Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow

Narrator: Black Ice

Format: Abridged

Length: 4 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-07

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 383 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Russell might have helped introduce hip-hop to the world, but he credits his success to his belief in a strong set of principles, or laws, which he shares for the first time in this audio. In 12 steps, Russell reveals a path towards success that can be followed not only by those looking to duplicate his professional success, but by anyone struggling to realize a dream.

Those looking solely for advice on how to build up a bank account at the expense of personal integrity should probably look elsewhere. That's because these laws stem from the belief that all success, be it professional or personal, comes from a connection with your higher self. Using examples from his own experiences and observations, Russell demonstrates how tapping into that connection will allow you to get your mind right, find the motivation to start instead of stall, surround yourself with the right people, appreciate the power of hard work, and understand the power of karma.

But most importantly, this book will demonstrate how it's impossible to receive any sort of lasting success from the world without giving something of lasting value to the world first. That's a practice that is reflected in Russell's own work as a mentor and philanthropist and one that he promotes as fundamental to empowerment and success on every level.

Blending business insight, universal spiritual truths, and an inspired sense of purpose, Do You! crosses the lines of age, race, and background with wisdom that will lift you up and motivate you to pursue your vision.

Critic Reviews:

"I consider him one of the great entrepreneurs out there today. Russell knows the market and he sees the future, and that's the ultimate businessperson." (Donald Trump)

"Russell Simmons, the original and eternal Hip-Hop Mogul, is one of the most innovative and influential figures in modern American business and culture." (The New York Times)

"Simmons is the Godfather. Def Jam was the model that birthed Bad Boy, No Limit, Roc-A-Fella, and all these other labels. And then later, Phat Farm birthed Sean Jean, Rocawear, MarcJacobs, and all these other clothing companies. Russell is the architect of what we do." (Jay-Z)

Members Reviews:

Excellent Conversation!

As an entrepreneur, I greatly appreciated the realness and candor of what Mr. Simmons was telling me in his book. This book is a refreshing change from many self-help books in which the authors are afraid to be open and honest about their failures and faults.

The #1 book of the year

Dear Russell, few books I read that give the msg so clear, I am brasilian and I understand very well what is to have a dream, I wish I could translate your book and give for free for all those brasilian kids that feel right now lost just like I was im my past. You wrote the #1 book and Hill Harper wrote the #2 but not less important... thank you all. Sorry for my write mistakes, really I think you dont care...

No One Category

Even though some will be put off by the curse words sprinkled more heavily in some places in this book than others, it is a must listen to. The reader is good, even though Russell reading it himself would have been better. The book is hard to categorize and this is one of its strengths. Mr.

Title: The Power of a Positive No

Author: William Ury

Narrator: William Ury

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-07

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 465 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

But as we all know, the wrong no can also destroy what we most value by alienating and angering people. That's why saying no the right way is crucial. The secret to saying no without destroying relationships lies in the art of the Positive No, a proven technique that anyone can learn.

This indispensable audiobook will give you a simple three-step method for saying a Positive No. It will show you how to assert and defend your key interests; how to make your no firm and strong; how to resist the other side's aggression and manipulation; and how to do all this while still getting to yes. In the end, the Positive No will help you get not just to any yes but to the right yes, the one that truly serves your interests.

Based on William Ury's celebrated Harvard University course for managers and professionals, The Power of a Positive No offers concrete advice and practical examples for saying no in virtually any situation. Whether you need to say no to your customer or your coworker, your employee or your CEO, your child or your spouse, you will find in this book the secret to saying no clearly, respectfully, and effectively.

In today's world of high stress and limitless choices, the pressure to give in and say yes grows greater every day, producing overload and overwork, expanding e-mail and eroding ethics. Never has no been more needed. A Positive No has the power to profoundly transform our lives by enabling us to say yes to what counts: our own needs, values, and priorities.

Critic Reviews:

"His reminders to consider the other person's perspective while asserting your own position create a clear, unambiguous path to win-win situations." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Truly applicable

Having listened to "Getting to YES," I was surprisingly pleased with how much better "The Power of a Positive No" was in comparision. This is not to say that the first book was substandard, but rather that this book focused on what so many people struggle with: Understanding how, why, and when to say "NO" in order to get to "YES."

It addresses everything from the struggle within ourselves to say the word, to delivering it with confidently, ethically, and gracefully. You never feel as if the author meanders off course, but rather ties all points back to the central theme of the higher (or deeper) purpose: reaching a consensus and a solution.

This book is well written, the narration is excellent, and the content woven with historical references (biographical and autobiographical) yet never becomes self-aggrandizing.

This book is a must for EVERYONE, regardless of societal position. It will not disappoint.

Don't underestimate the title

This is an excellent book. A must read for everyone. Don't think this is just about how to say NO firmly. It is much more than that.

The power of positive no

This as a very helpful and insightful teaching on how to say NO without malice or defeat. A win -win approach to saying no may just be the power of a win -win negotiation or answer for the nayer and the sayer.

WoW!

When I started this book I was immersed into the best self help enlightening experience ever, Easy steps to give a person firepower in negotiating life daily task and interaction with work, family and personal feelings. Narrator was very friendly and easy to understand.

Title: The No Asshole Rule

Subtitle: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't

Author: Robert I. Sutton

Narrator: Robert Sutton

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-07

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 599 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Now, in a definitive book that addresses this growing problem, Sutton shows you how you can work with unsavory people without becoming one of them yourself.

Critic Reviews:

"Sutton's work is sure to generate discussions at watercoolers around the country and deserves influence in corporate hiring and firing strategies." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

okay, I get it

Interesting, but nowhere near the best advice book I have read. Some parts are really great, and the self reflection this book triggers is valuable to even the nicest of us (like me!), but some of the advice is really terrible. For example, this is not an area where "fighting fire with fire" is a good idea. If you are sensitive enough to be bothered by these people, do you really want to become one of them as a means of coping? I suspect not. I picked up some things from this book that I really appreciate, but I am also very glad to have read more than this one book. Summary - its worth a listen if you are a self help junkie, but don't take the advice too much to heart.

Great Listen

Wow What a great book! I work with a verbially abusive person in the office. This book gave me insight into why he acts the way he does. It has helped me realize that his actions arent my fault.

Disappointing...

Disappointing... I really thought this book would help me deal with negativity in the work place. Once you get past laughing about the title, there is not much substance to the book. I didn't even listen to the last thirty minutes, too painful!

Disappointing!

This book was a huge disappointment to me. Not only did it not offer any useful advice whatsoever on dealing with assholes, it quickly became plain to me that the author is an asshole himself. It was also an annoying listen - how is it possible that a Stanford professor repeatedly pronounces words such as "especially" as "expektially"? He sounds like an ignorant and arrogant man, and he offers no credible expertise in dealing with human beings. At least he expresses regret for his own horribly bad behavior, but it is too little and too late, and embedded in loads of subtle and not-so-subtle praise for assholes. Ew, ew, and ew! I pity this author's co-workers!

Save your money

There's nothing here. Assholes are real. Don't let them into your organization and clean house if you have some there. Make examples of them. If you can't remove them then leave. Hopefully I saved someone a few dollars.

Title: Change or Die

Subtitle: The Three Keys to Change at Work and in Life

Author: Alan Deutschman

Narrator: Brian Keeler

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-07

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 325 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

This was the question Alan Deutschman posed in "Change or Die", his sensational cover story for the May 2005 issue of Fast Company. Surprisingly, Deutschman concluded that although we all have the innate capability and fundamental need to change our behavior, we rarely do. Against all warnings and reason, heart patients and smokers continue to lead dangerously unhealthy lifestyles, and many doomed companies stick to the same archaic business practices that routinely destine them for failure.

In this inspiring, revelatory book, Deutschman helps deconstruct and demystify five age-old myths about change, including the notions that small, gradual changes are always easier to make and sustain, and that we can't change because our brains become "hardwired" early in life. Introducing breakthrough research and progressive ideas from a diverse selection of medical, science, and business leaders, Deutschman demonstrates how to achieve lasting, revolutionary change.

A powerful book with universal appeal, Change or Die addresses every sphere of life, from companies that must remake their corporate culture to survive, to individuals who must make 360-degree changes in their lifestyle or risk stagnation - or even death. Each chapter also includes several emotional stories about real people who have succeeded or failed in their attempt to change and why.

Change or Die is not about merely reorganizing or restructuring priorities; it's about challenging everyone to make drastic transformations in all aspects of life - changes that are positive, attainable, and absolutely vital.

Critic Reviews:

"The book lays out some principles for change that might apply not only to companies but to many facets of life." (U.S. News & World Report)

Members Reviews:

Fantastic info

I bought this as a sales/professional development book. It is not that... well, not exactly.

The author talks about different psychiatric principles and then gives some extreme examples of different situations in which people went against conventional wisdom and made changes to better their lives and the lives of the people around them. He then takes these examples and dissects them into basic elements and relates them to the psychiatric principles.

The first half of the book is mainly 3 case studies which are very interesting and motivational. The rest of the book is how these relate to the principles and how they relate to you.

Much to my chagrin, the book has absolutely nothing to do with sales (and little to do with business directly) but it does make you step back and think about different things and how you may approach them differently.

Bottom line: entertaining & thought-provoking

Simple. Smart. Sustaining.

Not really knowing what to expect, I was very surprised with how much I learned from this audio book. After listening to this audio presentation, I have come away with a renewed sense of hope and a reduced sense of despair regarding areas of my life and work that I know require change. Listening to this audio book has also given me a more powerful conceptual framework for handling conflict and approaching issues of change with other people.

Simple. Smart. Sustaining.

I must also give kudos to the narrator. His voice and articulation perfectly matched the tempo and style of the book.

Title: What Got You Here Won't Get You There

Subtitle: How Successful People Become Even More Successful!

Author: Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Narrator: Marshall Goldsmith

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-26-06

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 212 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Who can help? Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their (sometimes unconscious) annoying habits and attaining a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But with this audiobook, you'll get Marshall's great advice without the hefty fee!

What is the solution? The Harvard Business Review asked Goldsmith, "What is the most common problem faced by the executives that you coach?" Inside, he answers this question by discussing not only the key beliefs of successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold them back. He addresses the fundamental problems that often come with success and offers ways to attack them. Goldsmith outlines 20 habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping executives achieve a positive change in behavior.

Critic Reviews:

"[Goldsmith's] steps in coaching for success are simple, honest, without artifice." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Excellent, simple insights into change

Marshall Goldsmith is an engaging, facinating speaker and his personality shows through nicely in this audiobook. His technique of picking one bad habit to change and following up month after month is very effective. I am using his techniques in my life and in my office and am very happy with the results.

Very Worthwhile

I found this to be very useful. As it turns out, I am one of those people who may come across as being arrogant. I think many of us can see ourselves in the 20 bad habits he documents. To get this kind of information in a corporate setting would cost thousands. This book has caused me to think...which is the highest accolade I can give.

Rev

This book is most suitable for individuals who are already successful and have issues such as arrogance, not complimenting others and/or over-confidence. Not an inspirational read-like I was hoping it would be.

Food for thought!

I found the book very interesting and as someone who is always looking to get better I found a few things I can work on. Great read for people looking to achieve more!

All about making Goldsmith rich

Not about helping others to success but all about how to make the top stay on top.

Title: Words That Work

Author: Dr. Frank Luntz

Narrator: Dr. Frank Luntz

Language: English

Release date: 12-22-06

Publisher: Hyperion AudioBooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 310 votes

Genres: Business, Career Skills

Publisher's Summary:

Nobody is in a better position to explain than Frank Luntz; he has used his knowledge of words to help more than two dozen Fortune 500 companies grow. He tells us why Rupert Murdoch's six-billion-dollar decision to buy DirectTV was smart, because "satellite" was more cutting edge than "digital cable", and why pharmaceutical companies transitioned their message from "treatment" to "prevention" and "wellness".

If you've ever wanted to talk your way out of a traffic ticket or talk your way into a raise, this audiobook's for you.

Members Reviews:

Repetative vainglorious windbag

The main point and supporting material as already discovered by the end of the first chapter or two. Much of the material is repeated over and over and over and over... The author has many good points about word choice, but unfortunately often does not follow his own advice. His tone is often so self-aggrandizing that it is embarassing to listen. It is also a shame that much of the effort behind his choice of words is not to improve communication of ideas, but to obscure ideas in pretty wrapping so the (apparently ignorant) public may more easily consume them. I learned from the book, but it took too long, and I felt soiled after listening to it.

Hollow

It's not what you say it's what they hear; there, you've got it, no need to buy the book. Unless you want a 6 hour review of political word-smithing of past presidential campaigns. If you plan on running for President in 2008 this is a MUST read, otherwise this book does not live up to its title.

Where are the words!

It takes this guy 4 hours of blabbering to give you 21 "words that work" that are actually concepts...then he tells you 20 political phrases not to use and replaces them 20 other. 95% of this is wordy boring political stories.

WASTE OF TIME!

self congratulations rather than information

Unfortunately, there is no real 'meat' in the book. I kept waiting for something more, and it was never delivered. Pretty much a waste of time and money.

Sooo much taaalk...

It's not what people say, it's what they hear. You will learn this in the very beginning of the book. It is the best part of the entire book. This book has a lot of political talk which for me was not very intersting at all... I would have better enjoyed a little more info, a little less political example. He also very much enjoys talking about himself... For me, this book was 5% good information, 95% blah blah blah.
