Riveting. BLEW, MY, MIND

Revisado: 09-19-19

BLEW, MY, MIND, and I don’t say that lightly. It’s been a very long time since I’ve read a book and immediately can’t wait to read it again.

I’ve read, oh geez, maybe 200-250 sales & marketing books, courses, I have 17 terabytes of marketing material. Most goes in one ear out the other. Everything from the old Zig Ziglar & Og Mandino stuff to the newer neuroscience material like Russell Granger’s “Seven Triggers to Yes”. There’s maybe... six, that have truly impressed me. I keep reading them because occasionally I pull something novel from one that I apply, like Jordan Belfort’s recent offering had some decent material about voice tonality that I found I could apply. Oren’s last book “Pitch Anything” was very good. This book... was riveting. You don’t often call a sales book riveting.

If you are a venture capitalist, you pitch venture capitalists, affluent or high status individuals, or are in sales or marketing of any persuasion, it’s MANDATORY reading. It’s not that I didn’t know any of it, but just the way it’s organized and also very entertaining. The stories and examples come to life like a superb novel. He says he fictionalized some details to protect the confidentially of his clients but you can tell these are absolutely real examples from real experience in high stakes persuasion.

I was listening on audible and at one point I’m thinking to myself, “why would he even put this out? I would keep this all to myself.” Later however, as you see the application in more diverse scenarios, you know, that it doesn’t matter - that if you needed to lock down a multiple million dollar deal, furnished with this knowledge or not, you are calling Oren Klaff and paying him whatever he wants.

I can’t recommend a book enough. Brilliant to the tenth power.
