Book : The sales bible (Jef Gitomer )
The sales
bible by Jeff Gitomer
As you may
know the older times I studied
marketing on 80s (you may look at more in my page in Google sites at zliangas)
This author and his book have been found
on mid 90s via search for sales techniques in the internet of the older times. One of the pages i was looking those older times was SBS which then stopped
‘The sales bible’ is not exactly a
method of selling as many others of the market ie rather university type . As Jef
says in his book , this is merely a complete hands on guide form his practices from read world techniques he applied after many years of his work . As with
any practice book anyone can use it and adapt to his own
style.
Also this book
is a series of articles Jeff has
presented to a magazine of the area . Each article is a 2-4 max pages length with condensed
techniques on how to cope in any case . Ideas and how to’s in a total of 340
pages book bigger than A5 size and hardbound..
The design is rather simple DTP though the use of fonts is rather humorous in a way you can call 'impressing' and memorable
Another very interesting thing on the book is the xx.5 rules ,which the last 0.5 rule is mostly the most important
Not only the
above, but the book is also very motivational. IN several cases ha also referred
to the gurus of selling Tom Hopkins ( I knew him the times of 80s and from a US magazine [ie before getting to know Jef ] who wrote the excellent book 'how to master
the art of selling' another excellent sales book which then lost more recently and also Zig
Ziglar and the other guru Ken Blachard the author of the one minute manager a
book that I thin has been translated into Greek )
The language
is very simple with very few
unknown words in a nice and easy to read text and quite easy 'digestible'
IN the pack
there were :
- The book
- Flash cards look at the right photo
- A floppy disk of 3.5”
This edition
is of 1994 as you may understand
My rating :
10/10 and is an excellent and handy
reference to any prospective salesman .Sad that I stopped sales since 2000 , as
I then worked for the Uni . I recently given this book to a very close friend who works as dealer.
Would like
to see this book also in e-form which would-be handier for any prospective or non salesman who would like to read it any time in his smart phone (it is not still in e-book as I checked in Jeff’s web page, there are only some more 'niche' eBooks The 'bible' is only in audio format )
Here is a condensed

know if the latest version is more extended ) :
