Resumen del Editor

Many people assume that effective sales ability demands a unique personality and an aggressive attitude. It's not true, and Robert Herjavec is proof. Known as the "Nice Shark" on ABC's Emmy Award-winning hit show Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec is loved by viewers, who respond to his affable nature. He has developed an honest and genuine approach to life and selling that has set him apart from his cutthroat colleagues and rewarded him with a degree of wealth measured in hundreds of millions of dollars.

In You Don't Have to Be a Shark, Robert transcends pure sales technique and teaches "nonbusiness people" what they need to know in order to sell themselves successfully. We are each our own greatest asset, and in order to achieve our goals, we need to be able to communicate with others, position ourselves, and even look the part. Robert's philosophy is simple: Great salespeople are made, not born, and no one achieves success in life without knowing how to sell.

Entertaining, enlightening, and effective, You Don't Have to Be a Shark will reveal the secrets of one of North America's most successful businessmen, who also happens to be one of today's most prominent TV personalities, delivered in a friendly, down-to-earth manner and filled with anecdotes and observations to support its hard-nosed advice.

Great Book

Thank you for opening up to us. it was really a great read. Good job

Excellent general book on sales and success

One of the best books I've read/listened to on the subjects of sales and success. This is not a 1,2,3 or ABC book. It covered lessons learned by Robert through life and work.

Authentic, difficult & inspiring in moving forward

Game changer in our view of sales, success and meaning for our journey in life.

interesting book, rough monotone narration

I like that Robert Herjavec read it, and like the content... But man, at times he is obviously just reading the words without thinking about them or assembling them into sentences for proper emphasis, tone, or rhythm. He must have done some recording marathons too, because his voice gets pretty rough at a few different points.

Regardless, the meat is interesting and entertaining. I feel it was a worthwhile listen, and will continue to dream of Mr Herjavec investing in my robot company.

Great advice. Good book.

I truly enjoyed the book, even though it wasn't at all what I expected. Much of the information had more to do with successful living, than successful business practices. However, as he repeated throughout, much of what he suggested can be applied to both. When reading this book, don't give up if you feel the first two chapters are blah. It does get better.

insight into entrepreneurial mindset

I liked the perspective given on selling and the stories/experiences shared.

Positive, helpful, insightful, and motivational.

Could've been a bit shorter

Great narration, I don't agree one bit that it was boring or un-enthusiatic, although the content could've been a bit shorter and compressed.

Great advice

One of the best books I have come across. I will listen to it several more times to get additional benefits from his advice.

Great Book

I really enjoyed this book. He is my favorite shark in the tank. I loved that fact that Robert narrated it. It made his life stories seem more personal. This book really covers great sales basic in addition to how to be an overall good employee. Additionally I liked his stories and experiences from being on the show.

Liked it but...

I really liked Robert's story and teachings but I found his voice to be a little bit monotone and you can tell he had forced his voice throughout the book because of his raspy voice. My humble opinion is probably he should have had more impact if he only did the prelude and the rest to be narrated by a professional storyteller. Overall it was a good book.
