The 25 Sales Habits of Highly Successful Salespeople
$6.95
I remember a very popular book "7 habits of highly successful people"
I thought this was the same book but 25 habits for salespeople.

It was a clever title that would lead you to believe you are discovering little known secrets. This book I read in about 20 minutes. I skipped all the explanations/examples because the concepts are so basic they do not require further explanation.

I found this very disappointing.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black
$199.95
Panasonic blue ray player BD DMP 60 and 80 got some positive reviews which made me buy the dmp 80 and I subsequently recommended them to friends.
My biggest disappointment came within less than 50 hours of use. The blue ray part of the unit ceased functioning, had it fixed under warranty (poor customer service) and within 2 months of use it broke down again. Kept my my disappointment to myself until thanksgiving day when my uncle reported similar complaint and defect of a DMP 80 unit he had purchased. Upon follow up with my friends who bought either of the models, I learnt about their malfunctioning units.
I seriously recommend you consider other brands before looking at Panasonic blue ray players. Tons of headache and less value for your money.

Little Red Book of Selling: 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness
$19.95
Everyone thinks there is a SECRET to selling....NOT!
Selling SUCCESSFULLY is continiously applying the PROPER effort on steps to closing a sale. The problem is that 97% will read this book and NEVER do anything with it cause they do not understand my second sentence above. This book either followed by a determined person or monitored with a sales team by a manager that holds the sales force accountable is a simple series of steps that can be used for a life time.
So don't buy it for another "read" hoping to gain something...ONLY buy it if you truly want a path to follow and have the internal fortitude to look yourself in the mirror every day to hold yourself accountable.
