About this listen

She used to make the same mistakes we've all made with men - until she realized that the winning formula to attracting the right guy lay in skills she already had. As a successful saleswoman, Jess has practiced the techniques in promoting a product, finding the right approach, making the pitch, and closing deal after deal. Once she started to apply these same techniques to the dating scene, her love life made a complete 180, and she found herself with more interested men than she knew what to do with.

One of the Best, but Needs a Better Narrator

Would you listen to You Lost Him at Hello again? Why?

Yes because of the content. It was clearly laid out, logical, and I related to it. I've read a lot of dating books, and this is the first one where I didn't feel chastised as a woman, and it really encapsulated a lof that i have learned about dating through bumps and bruises over the years. I wish I had this when I was younger!

What other book might you compare You Lost Him at Hello to and why?

Honestly, no comparison.

Would you be willing to try another one of Julia Farhat’s performances?

Absolutely not. Her voice had an annoying patterned lilt to it that seriously made me consider returning the book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved her part about comparing yourself to a product - know, love, and package it accordingly. I also love what she said about gauging interest and acting accordingly, all the strategies (e.g., SEE, prospecting, icebreakers), and even in the end when she aid that you are the only one who knows who the right guy is for you. There were several A-HA! moments for me throughout the book. Explained a lot about my past dating faux pas.

Any additional comments?

If you are a woman who has ever heard "You are so *insert compliment here* why are you single?" If you have ever wondered why you just can't seem to get it right in dating, get this book! Jessica McCann, let me know when you decide to have a class. I am a talented learning professional and would love to help!

Definitely listen to at 1.25x or 1.5x speed

The narrator leaves much to be desired because her pace is a little slow and lacks enthusiasm. BUT, if you listen at a faster speed it makes it much more pleasant. The content of the book is great. Definitely recommend for my fellow single ladies.

great book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have already recommended this book to a friend? Why? Because she is going through some of the examples the author mentions and even though most of it is common sense it always sounds better coming from someone else...I dont want to be the bearer of bad news....plus its better getting advice from someone who is impartial to the situation..great ideas by the way and an intuitive way of putting across the authors views and observations.

Id highly recommend this book

What was one of the most memorable moments of You Lost Him at Hello?

Read this book while driving 9 hours....loved it...made the trip seem a hell of a lot shorter....but no definitive moment stood out above all others sorry..

Which character – as performed by Julia Farhat – was your favorite?

all

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

parts made me laugh...the inner cynic and the knowledge of having been somewhat in those shoes at one time or another...

Any additional comments?

One of the best books I have ever read

Jess is amazing at this. I have struggled so much with dating. This book has changed my life. There are some other good books to add to this, but this one for me at lest is a must! It's simply a must.

This is one of the worst voiceovers ever!

Where does You Lost Him at Hello rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an excellent book for single professional women. I had already figured out a lot of these concepts, so the first half didn't give me much, but in the middle is where the really critical perspective changing concepts come in -very worth the annoying voiceover talent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of You Lost Him at Hello?

The most memorable moments are personal revelations for me such as -I know I avert my eyes and look away from men constantly. Not sure where I got this habit except maybe after I'd been married. I don't think I had this problem before my two divorces. Another was that you really do have to date multiple people at any given time until you are in a committed relationship with someone -a concept that I've always struggled with, but it is actually the more healthy way to date.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Julia Farhat?

Anyone would be better than this narrator. I can't stand the constant false inflections at awkward moments throughout each sentence. And the timber, pitch of her voice is annoying as well. I cringe everytime I start listening to it some more and spend at least the first few minutes being distracted by it.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from You Lost Him at Hello?

There are many.

Any additional comments?

I wish they would have a different narrator. The content could be a lot more powerful with a strong voice talent. I am a professional designer and we hire voice talent all the time. I don't know if this person was just a friend or what but I do not regard her style as professional. Sound is everything and the way this voice sounds is grating to my nerves but I power through it nonetheless because the content is worth it.

Written for a different demographic....

But still really solid advice, not just for dating, but for life. If you can wade through the coed life context at the beginning, the meat of it is very good.
