As a seasoned sales professional, and one who is required to deliver sales presentations in extremely competitive environments, I can say simply that Sjodin nails every point of what it takes to get deals done with this easy to read and use book. I read the first version, and with the updates and added elevator speech chapter in the 2nd edition, I think this book was taken to a higher level: how many times are we caught off guard asking for a clear, concise rendition of what we have to offer, and then close the deal or at least get a meeting? It happens all the time, and this book gives you the tools to do it.
Too many times we fall into the trap of creating a boring presentation without sizzle AND substance, and our presentations get categorized as fluff. This book encapsulates everything we should think about when recognizing who our audience is and how to make an impact and be remembered.
I've seen Sjodin speak a few times, and if you see her speak then you'll realize she is a true saleswoman with grit and she knows her stuff. Many times in just general life interaction I've drawn upon her knowledge and expertise to set myself apart... and it works!
Kudos to the book and Sjodin; if you're serious about selling, this book has nuggets that will get you ahead. |

Most sales people are not getting the job done. Period. They move around from company to company, making the same mistakes, and blaming their poor numbers on the product, their employer, the economy, or the price of tea in China.
While this book will not surprise top performers with something completely new, these folks may glean some value out of the distinction between an informational presentation and a persuasive presentation.
I could almost guarantee if all sales managers gave this book to the lower 75-90% of their sales teams, and made it a requirement to use the simple outlines in the book, their numbers would improve.... Anyone who cannot use the outlines to build compelling presentations should not be in the sales arena. |

This is a great book for individuals in the sales profession. It will allow you to improve your sales presentations by becoming more persuasive instead of informative. It will also give you different insight into the world of successful selling. |

What is the terrible thing that will happen if you don't buy and read New Sales Speak? You will miss out on the most timely and useful book on the subject of how to build and deliver a persuasive case to get what you want in any situation and get it now!
It may be the age of information, but it is also the age of enlightened self interest. We all are getting the message that, in this world, we need to ask for what we want. Well, there is a more effective way to go about doing just that and this book shows us how - specifically, through developing and sharpening our persuasive communication skills. Whatever our avenue of endeavour - corporate executive, entrepreneur, mother, teacher, student - being persuasive in our "calls to action" gets us so much closer to our goals than just being merely informative.
New Sales Speak is the definitive blue print to guide and inspire all of us, whether novice or veteran, to face the fear of presenting ourselves and our ideas or to polish existing skills, and to knock on the door of life and ask persuasively for what we want. With Terri Sjodin's help, we have a much better chance of those doors being opened and our requests being granted. |

This book was right on target. Definitely not a regular book on public speaking but rather a real world guide to building a persusive presentation. I found it very clear, to the point and entertaining. You can tell that the author defintely practices what she preaches.
It is timely and relevent for what happens in the real world - not a generic type text book. I really relate well to the examples and stories. The short outline and long outline samples provide a great "how to" guide and the presentation evaluation chart is a great tool to do a self evaluation or evaluate others presentations.
I highly recommend it... and bought extra copies to give to my associates! Great book for Sales People and even those who don't sell for a living... Sjodin is right "Everybody sells something". |
