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

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.
Hands down. No debate. We all know that word-of-mouth
can turn a company, product, or service into a roaring
success or a crashing failure. This updated,
information-packed new edition offers you a proven model for
developing your own word-of-mouth marketing plan.
