What the critics say

“ First, Hide the Poison Arrows, is a fascinating, creative lesson on how to use the science of "deductive reasoning and rehearsal" to become a highly-paid sales and management executive in a complex world. Sherlock Holmes, meet Russ Riendeau.” (Marshall Goldsmith, Bestselling Author of: Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It)

“ First, Hide the Poison Arrows is an innovative and refreshing way of establishing thought leadership: part audiobook, part impromptu (but fluent and timely) motivational presentation. Provocative, with wide-ranging commentary on the ways people communicate, learn, buy/sell and manage, Dr. Riendeau delivers on his promise, mapping out specific action steps to improve our approach in all these areas.” (David Freedman, Sales Director, Huthwaite International – Creators of SPIN Selling)

“Music provides an effective way to communicate with the brain of your customers because it is a most primitive and emotional stimulus. Companies that find a way to link music to their intention are already ahead of the game! It will rock them!" (Patrick S. Renvoise, Chief Neuromarketing Officer, SalesBrain)
