Zig's son

great content and useful examples.. great presentation with a lot of humor.

but Zig's son who adds comments between the segments is so annoying. he adds no value. it's better to remove him from these recordings and the experience will be much better.

The Bible of sales!

If you are a salesperson and think you know everything it takes to close a deal, you need to listen to Zig Ziglar in this series of recordings from his live presentations. Astonishing to learn his secrets and use them also as daily motivation.

The quality of the recordings needs to be improved. Also, some editing would be appreciated, but those are just minor details. Buy it and change your sales career right now!

Pretty good, though a little dated

Worth listening to for broad concepts, but some of the specifics are a little bit dated

Excellent

Really good listen lots of motivational things in it and good information to ease the anxiety of when beginning a career in sales- defiantly has lots of re listening value. Only complaint is maybe at the last 4 hours of the 17 you will hear some of the same stories and material regurgitated- now the stories are good to listen to twice and they are told maybe 10% differently but there is probably a total of 2 hours of repeated information- particularly at the end

One of the Best

One of the best business, and certainly the best sales book I have ever read [listened] to. Zig is incredibly thorough in covering all aspects of ones sales career, and I find something new every time I listen. I'm listening to this book for the third time now. #Audible1

Too much fluff

Zig is a legend but I’m disappointed in the amount of story telling vs concrete sales strategies I thought I would find.
Sometimes less is more

Better sales books out there

Zig was at times entertaining, but the book felt very old fashioned, a little repetitive and not focussed. Not sure why there are so many five star reviews, many other books on audible are better and much shorter.
