About this listen

A business classic endorsed by Dale Carnegie, How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling is for anyone whose job it is to sell. Whether you are selling houses or mutual funds, advertisements or ideas - or anything else - this book is for you.

When Frank Bettger was 29, he was a failed insurance salesman. By the time he was 40, he owned a country estate and could have retired. What are the selling secrets that turned Bettger's life around from defeat to unparalleled success and fame as one of the highest-paid salesmen in America?

The answer is inside How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling. Bettger reveals his personal experiences and explains the foolproof principles that he developed and perfected. He shares instructive anecdotes and step-by-step guidelines on how to develop the style, spirit, and presence of a winning salesperson. No matter what you sell, you will be more efficient and profitable - and more valuable to your company - when you apply Bettger's keen insights on:

  • The power of enthusiasm
  • How to conquer fear
  • The key word for turning a skeptical client into an enthusiastic buyer
  • The quickest way to win confidence

TIMELESS

Where does How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Easily one of my top 5 so far. Funny how things change but "really don't" when it comes to being an advisor. Whether you are an insurance advisor, real estate agent, copier salesman, car salesman, or anything in between...you can learn from this book.

The most motivational thing I have ever heard

Bettger uses math and examples to make his good points. He writes with clarity and guides us with direction and reinforcement. Timeless as other have stated, and u will understand why quickly, as the fundamentals if selling are rooted in psychology and the human response.

Superb

If you are my own brother I will say what I'm going to say right now: If you read just one book a year that is this one that's it.

Good A to Z

The only part of the numerous processes and procedures that I felt was missing was the "How To" for finding prospects and setting the appointment.
