This review is from: How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling (Paperback)

Great book and was delivered as advertised — in new condition. Will look for future books here.

This book was written over 60 years ago, but the messages on the pages ring loud and clear to sales professionals in today’s world. Frank Bettger simply tells his personal story of how he grew his sales career from failure to success….and learned valuable life lessons along the way.

The book does not have the gliz and hype of a Tony Robbins seminar, but it has the power to impact the reader and put one on the path to greatness.

This book has really great techniques along with excellent real life examples. An extremely valuable book for anyone involved in sales.

This easy to read sales book is great for any sales manager to give to their employees. The ideas generated and the enthusiasm for selling will be beneficial to many organizations. It’s a quick book and most people should have no problems with finishing!

There is no better “primer” for sales than “How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling“. It is loaded with timeless tips on skill development that will assure sales folks success in spite of the sales “climate”. No need to learn the “tricks” of the trade if you read this book with an open mind allowing the contents to get in!

All i want to say is if i was marooned on a desert island and was allowed only 5 books, this would be one of them. get this book, grow and enjoy over many years.
Thanks again Frank

IT IS THE MOST HELPFULL BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. I AM A INSURANCE BROKER.I AM A AFRIKAANS SPEAKING SOUTH AFRICAN.I CAN RECOMMEND THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK .UNFORTUNATILY I HAVE LOST THE BOOK .WHERE IN CAPE TOWN CAN I BUY A NEW BOOK?

Frank Bettger’s lessons in successful selling have long since passed the test of time. Whenever I’m asked “What else should I read?” in one of my sales training seminars, I always tell them that no sales training library is complete without a well-worn copy of Frank Bettger’s “How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling” – especially with young and/or new salespeople!

Note:You may have noticed that all of my book reviews carry “5 Star” ratings (*****). But that’s not the sign of a “soft reviewer.” I only review books to which I can honestly give a a “5 Star” rating. You may assume, therefore, that any sales training/self improvement book without my “5 Star” rating is either less than “5 Star,” or I simply haven’t gotten to it yet . . . and there are certainly plenty of those!”

I was introduced to this book but one of the most successful salesmen I have ever know. Before Jim died he said this was the absolute best book on selling he had ever read. I have to agree with himi and will continue the legacy of recommending this as the best book on selling I know. The simple and relateable truth presented in the life, failures, and success of Frank Bettger speak to any who are ready to listen. Buy this book and read it often.
