Mr. Shmooze

The Art and Science of Selling Through Relationships

De: Richard Abraham

Narrado por: Peter Ganim

Reorient your selling approach

Mr. Shmooze is the parable of a man who reveals the secret shared by all superstar salespeople. Selling, in its most exquisite form, is not about "taking", nor is it about "persuading". Selling, believe it or not, is about "giving".

Mr. Shmooze gives for a living. He starts by listening and he quickly comes to understand what people really need. His customers love him because he gives more than he takes. They trust him because he is passionate about their interests. And, at the end of the day, they reward him handsomely for bringing joy, humor and wisdom into their lives. Woven into the story are several powerful lessons for salespeople in all industries who attempt to build relationships as the emotional bridge to their clients.

• Bring extraordinary passion and energy to personal communications
• Generate contagious, positive feelings, lifting spirits because people buy with their emotions
• Make the small, positive gestures that can lead to huge, long-term results
• Abraham has had a diverse business career that has established him as a well-known expert on what makes high-performing salespeople

Mr. Shmooze gives you the new approach you need to sell like you've never sold before!

Don't be mislead by the title

If you are in professional sales or business development this book needs to be on your desk with pages bent, text underlined, and notes in the margins.
Having been in sales and in charge of leading sales people for over 20 years, this book provoked me to think differently with regards to nurturing relationships. Having read Mr. Schmooze, I realize I was playing checkers and now know how to play chess with regard to serving my prospects and clients in a truly meaningful way. It's a quick fun read with a ton of gold.

Well worth the Listen

This isn't just a book about sales. It is a story, an example, a guide to a bigger, more fulfilled life.

Great book for all sales professionals

Really enjoyed the book and learned a lot, highly recommend. Next level sales techniques and different than most sales books I've read.

Everyone should listen!

Everyone should listen to this audiobook. It’s short. Great stories and helpful lessons to learn in each story specifically for those who are in business, marketing, and sales.

Fun listen

This book went super quick. I really enjoyed hoe the points were delivered by telling a story rather than just getting the points on paper.

Superb reading!!!

I learned so much in the book. Great storytelling … not as factual which made it beautiful to listen to. The reader did a fantastic job!! Youll enjoy the gold nuggets and pick up on the moral of the young man’s adventure if you are just getting started in sales and want to understand it on a philosophical level.

Quick and entertaining

I loved it. great narration. quick and easy with a good message for sales people.

Kindness is REAL

This book may have landed me a job TODAY and I finished it yesterday. Everyone in Corporate America should read this. Thank you “Kay” my business partner (we have a new start up) for telling me to read it for my own good… EXCELLENT!!!

Great content

This book had great content and no wasted time. The story was engaging and the lessons were practical and applicable. Nice work!
