Story
Every salesperson must endure many NOs in order to get to YES. Objections don't care or consider: who you are, what you sell, how you sell, or if you are new to sales or a veteran. For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to getting past those NOs. Objections is a comprehensive and contemporary guide that engages your heart and mind.

Story
People don't buy from people they like. No! Your buyer doesn't care about you or your product or service. It's not your job to overcome objections, it's your buyer's. Closing isn't a skill of good salespeople; it's the skill of weak salespeople. Price isn't the main reason salespeople lose the sale. Gap Selling shreds traditional and closely held sales beliefs that have been hurting salespeople for decades. For years, salespeople have embraced a myriad of sales tactics and belief systems that have unknowingly created many of the issues they have been trying to avoid.

Story
Each year, sales professionals leave billions of dollars on the table because they are out gunned, out maneuvered, and out played by savvy buyers, who have been schooled in the art and science of negotiation. Because today's buyers have more power than ever before - more information, more at stake, and more control over the buying process-they almost always enter sales negotiations in a much stronger position than the salespeople on the other side of the table. The results are sadly predictable: Salespeople and their companies end up on the losing end of the deal.

- Why the 30-Day Rule is critical for keeping the pipeline full
- Why understanding the Law of Replacement is the key to avoiding sales slumps
- How to leverage the Law of Familiarity to reduce prospecting friction and avoid rejection
- The 5 C's of Social Selling and how to use them to get prospects to call you
- How to use the simple 5-Step Telephone Framework to get more appointments fast
- How to double callbacks with a powerful voice mail technique
- How to leverage the powerful 4-Step Email Prospecting Framework to create emails that compel prospects to respond
- How to get text working for you with the 7-Step Text Message Prospecting Framework
- And so much more!
Fanatical Prospecting is filled with the high-powered strategies, techniques, and tools you need to fill your pipeline with high quality opportunities.
In the most comprehensive book ever written about sales prospecting, Jeb Blount reveals the real secret to improving sales productivity and growing your income fast. You'll gain the power to blow through resistance and objections, gain more appointments, start more sales conversations, and close more sales.

Fake Book
These stories sounds poorly made up to try and prove a point. I went all the way through chapter 15 before I couldn't listen anymore. Everyone knows you have to talk to people to close a deal, whether on the phone or in person. How many different ways can this guy poorly try to rephrase that. What a waste of $20.

Great advice for small dollar sales
He does not claim to have a magic pill or easy solution which is my favorite part of the book.
Like most sales book he does take the first third of the book to convince you to read the last 2/3rds. I wish they would save the sales pitch on something I already own.
Overall this is a good book and should be reviewed periodically to ensure that you are not relaxing your prospecting efforts.

This book is pure sales GOLD!
I would recommend this book for anyone in a B2B sales role. Early in my sales career I had pretty good success with in person cold calls. I too came up with the self perpetuated notion that I was much better in person and got no where using the phone. In reality it was my call to rejection ratio that I was basing that theory off of. Like Jeb says, "If you just eat the frog and make the calls!" You will much more effective in your prospecting and fill your pipeline way faster. Not only that, he also ways in on other forms of prospecting that many may not have even considered doing. Great read!!!

Great truths, rocky delivery
The book as a whole is a good read. You will learn a lot and if you apply the teachings you will learn even more and see success.
The issue lies in execution, where the author references a concept as part of a lesson, and then a few lessons later will explain the concept. A less egregious example would be referencing the "Eat the frog" concept, then a page later will explain what "Eat the frog" means. However, some examples span chapters before you get the explanation of the concept.
With a slight reordering of information the book would be one of the greatest and helpful books you will read on sales, and in fact is still a high ranking book.
