"I may go back and read this book again, once I can get over the idea that it is basically about how to psychologically bully people into giving you a lot of money. (Really, a lot. The tactics Rackham discusses are to be used only in 'big' sales. It's a term I don't believe he defines but I imagine means thousands of dollars.) If nothing else, he's a big believer in research. He has his own institute on learning how to sell things, questions conventional wisdom, and all that good stuff."
"I debated between 3 and 4 stars for this one. If I had read it when it FIRST came out, it would definitely have been a 4 (or maybe even 5) star book, yet a lot of it's topical matter has been covered since then. Mr. Rackham was one of the first business writers to begin analyzing the art of selling large ticket items or contracts, and how those sales fundamentally differ from small, one-off sales. Worth reading in any time period."
