His remarkable technologies will amaze even the most dedicated of skeptics." "Joel Bauer and Mark Levy bring incredible insight to this most essential of business skills: persuasion. Whether you're a CEO or a field rep, if your job is to make the sale, you'll find this book of immediate value." "If the devil wrote a manual on how to get people to do your bidding, this would be it. Chillingly good." "Joel Bauer and Mark Levy's book is phenomenal. I read an early draft and used two techniques (the Paper Metaphor and the Transformation Mechanism) at a tradeshow to generate a year's worth of qualified leads in three days! This book will make your sales productivity soar." "Be very, very careful with this book in your hands. It is powerful-almost too powerful-to the point of being explosive. This is no mealy-mouthed, run-of-the-mill, watered-down business book. This is a book that will change the way you do just about everything associated with your business: from approaching new clients to communicating with senior executives in a way that not only grabs their attention, but solidifies their commitment as well. Can you handle it? (By the way . . . I just used one of the many techniques I learned in How to Persuade People Who Don't Want to BePersuaded: The Fright Challenge!)" "This is the best book on persuasion (no, make that the best book on life) since How to Win Friends and Influence People, and the best book on selling I've ever read. Bauer and Levy have revolutionized the art of salesmanship." |
