Not his best work

Gitomer has some great material, so I find it a little difficult to give a less than stellar review. However I cannot ignore the great deal of repetition carried over from his red book of sales. There were a few pearls of wisdom and it seem to get better towards the end. I would highly recommend that if you are looking at this book and have not read the Redbook of cells that I would choose that over this.

Glad I listened!

After listening to "The 12 Week Year" I held a weekly accountability meeting (WAM) and atated that I'm focusing on networking and not sure how to execute.

It was recommended that I listen to "The Little Black Book of Connections".

I'm glad I did and intend on buying a copy of the book today and execute the actions as outlined.

Great read(listen) from a great Author!

This is the third book I've read from Mr. Gitomer, and they're always a great experience for me. I've dabbled in a few sales jobs over the years and having read the little red and little yellow books has aided me in being a better version of myself, when it comes to interacting with others. He explains it simply and in a way that motivates you to try it out yourself. I highly recommend checking this book out, as well as the little red book of sales and the yellow book of yes! attitude.
