Not for City Lots, that's for Sure.......2004-01-21

I looked at this book in hopes of finding ideas for remodeling or adding a story to an existing 1 story house. The house is on a 50 x 150 lot, pretty typical for a midwestern suburb. I would say that I saw about 2 plans (out of over 200) that could conceivably be placed on such a lot. Almost all of the designs wouldn't fit on a 50 foot wide lot. And those that would typically had the garage facing the long side of the lot with a full 35-40 foot wide house facing the short side of the lot. This would only work on a corner lot, unless you have a back alley, which seems pretty rare these days. So if you're dealing with a typical city/suburb lot, this isn't a good book at all. I'd be interested to know exactly what the editors believe a "narrow" lot is.

Worthless.......2003-07-03

Tiny floor plans with a black and white drawing. No specifics or details. The plans aren't even for narrow lots. Avoid this title.

Only a few designs for NARROW lots.......1998-11-14

There were only a few designs for the truly narrow lot (ie. houses around 24' wide). Designing a home for a narrow lot is not necessarily the same as building on a small lot. I expected to see some creative designs - building up, angling out, bump outs, lofts, etc. The title of this book is a misnomer. It should be 200 SMALL Lot Home Plans (and I'm not sure that even works with very many of the designs - unless one wishes to fill the entire lot!).

Misleading Title.......2006-04-17

This is an out-of-print book that I paid a small fortune for. There is very little out there on the topic of desiging and building a house on a difficult site. Regrettably, I have now discovered the title of this book is extremely misleading. Nearly all of the houses shown are built on large level pads (!?!). A few are partly constructed on the gentlest of slopes. None of the project locations shown here would remotely qualify as a "difficult site" in California. There are no "zero-lot-line" lots, no real hillside lots. Nothing. Further, all of the home plans (except one) are for highly conventional and rather unimaginative traditional designs, similar to those found on numerous house plan websites. What a letdown. If one of these books becomes available, don't be tempted.

Book Description

Now, for the first time ever, the time-tested, proven techniques perfected by the world-famous Dale Carnegie® sales training program are available in book form.

The two crucial questions most often asked by salespeople are: "How can I close more sales?" and "What can I do to reduce objections?" The answer to both questions is the same: You learn to sell from a buyer's point of view.

Global markets, increased technology, information overload, corporate mergers, and complex products and services have combined to make the buying/selling process more complicated than ever. Salespeople must understand and balance these factors to survive amid a broad spectrum of competition. Moreover, a lot of what the typical old-time salesperson did as recently as ten years ago is now done by e-commerce. The new sales professional has to capture and maintain customers by taking a consultative approach and learning to unearth the four pieces of information critical to buyers, none of which e-commerce alone can yield. The Sales Advantage will enable any salesperson to develop long-term customer relationships and help make those customers more successful -- a key competitive advantage. The book includes specific advice for each stage of the eleven-stage selling process, such as:

How to find prospects from both existing and new accounts
The importance of doing research before approaching potential customers
How to determine customers' needs, such as their primary interest (what they want), buying criteria (requirements of the sale), and dominant buying motive (why they want it)
How to reach the decision makers
How to sell beyond questions of price

The cutting-edge sales techniques in this book are based on interviews accumulated from the sales experiences of professionals in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. This book, containing more than one hundred examples from successful salespeople representing a wide variety of products and services from around the world, provides practical advice in each chapter to turn real-world challenges into new opportunities.

The Sales Advantage is a proven, logical, step-by-step guide from the most recognized name in sales training. It will create mutually beneficial results for salespeople and customers alike.

Dale Carnegie and Associates, Inc, has produced three giant international bestsellers -- How to Win Friends and Influence People, How to Stop Worrying and Start Living, and How to Enjoy Your Life and Your Job -- with more than thirty million copies sold to date. Their most recent bestseller is The Leader in You. More than twenty-five hundred people around the world enroll in Dale Carnegie courses each week, adding to the five million people who have graduated from the world-famous self-improvement and training programs.

A human relationship approach to sales.......2006-03-16

In any field, sales people must deal with people. There is no Mr. IBM or Ms. Microsoft - there are just people. We make sales too complicated when we overlook that people do the purchasing, even in complex teams - people just want someone to listen to their needs and provide a solution with some integrity. Dale Carnegie's Human relations approach boils it all down to sincerely trying to see things from the buyer's point of view, and just be honest! Wow - what a concept! It's important to read "How to win friends" first to really get the human relationship princples down pat. Then read this book - and then go make some sales!

Insightful!.......2005-07-07

J. Oliver Crom and Michael Crom have written a very good book for sales professionals who are on a learning curve, particularly newcomers and those with intermediate sales experience. Although veterans might know most of the new ideas here, the authors present valuable concepts in the excellent prospecting section and in the review of how to close a sale. The book presents a somewhat institutional Dale Carnegie approach to sales, including a strong emphasis on maintaining a positive attitude and a customer-centered approach. The section on overcoming objections could be juiced up a bit and many of the illustrative anecdotes could be developed more richly, but the book supplies significant expertise for newer sales professionals - and that alone, we believe, should make it an easy sell.

Sales Advantage by Crome.......2003-08-29

This is a good introductory work for a salesperson or
someone opening his/her own business. The author teaches
how to develop credibility, interest, stories, instructional
approaches, needs analysis and a host of other components aimed
at cultivating customer sales. Later on, the work builds
upon a negotiation scheme involving information gathering,
resolution of concerns, conflict resolution, collaboration,
customer needs and multiple solution sets in order to produce
a successful sale through advanced negotiation techniques.
The thrust of the work teaches how to gain and cultivate
customer commitments. The book is a good introductory
rendition for budding salespeople. It will provide reinforcement
for experienced salespeople.

Disappointing at Best.......2003-06-25

As an agent for one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, I am always looking for "THAT" book which will reveal a missed point that can give the edge over my very capable competition. When I saw this I thought this might be it. After reading this book, my search must continue. The book may hold some value for someone brand new to the field of sales, but for anyone who has sold for more than a few months, the teachings are old hat with no nuggets to be found. I have other Carnegie books and this one is not worthy to be on the shelf beside the others. I would recommend books by Tracy or maybe "SuperSelf" by Charles Givens. Now there is a book to chew on for days. My advice, save your money and buy something else.

From Naperville.......2003-03-31

There are a ton of different sales books out there, and more written each day. From strategic to rainmaker, each plows into a well-worked strategy to get the sale and be the star. Yet, one must know the basics well, and this book does that in a complete fashion. Great for beginers, but essential for us all to run through so our heads don't get to big. The biggest message in this book is process - setting one and keeping to it. By having a process, one can look for the next target, with the knowledge that the ones in the pipeline are easy to identify as to status and progress. The fact that ACT! chose to use the 11 steps was also interesting. Worth the amazon.com price!
