Selling You!

by Napoleon Hill

Few people have ever understood salesmanship as well as Napoleon Hill. He became legend in business circles for creating effective sales courses that turned around failing companies. Hill’s philosophy of success for salesmen was simple—you, the salesman, are the most valuable asset and you need to sell yourself first.

Selling You brings together the best of Napoleon Hill's writings from his sales courses with a special introduction by Jeffrey Gitomer.

This is a new release of a previously published edition.

Genres: Business, Personal Development, Ebooks, Nonfiction, Self Help, Psychology

266 pages, Kindle Edition

First published February 15, 1988

About the author

Oliver Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author and conman. He is best known for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937), which is among the best-selling self-help books of all time. Hill's works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one's life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve "success".
Hill is a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney.

Reviews

I would subtitle this book "Napoleon Hill's Greatest Hits." The editors nailed it! All of Napoleon Hill's greatest ideas are rolled into one in Selling You! This "easy read" in 21st century English challenged and grew me. I highly recommend it.

I was introduced to Time Budgeting in this audio book. I'm trying to inculcate the habit of following through a time budget which I think will benefit me greatly in the long run.

I would subtitle this book "Napoleon Hill's Greatest Hits." The editors compiled his best ideas on selling from How to Sell Your Way Through Life, Think and Grow Rich and others.

Core lesson: Every human interaction is a sale, especially selling yourself. A salesman sells himself first before he sells his product.

Key takeaways for me:
1. Conscious vs Subconscious mind - your subconscious doesn't filter, it just processes what you feed it. So affirm your desire.
2. Posture and brisk movement matter - successful people move differently.
3. Find a mutual hobby - like collecting, sports - to build rapport that leads to a sale.
4. Like people more than money.
5. Transmutation of energy and power of mastermind group.

It's short (266 pages), inspiring and full of stories, but some parts feel disjointed because it was compiled long after Hill died (published 1988). Title is not even Hill's original.

Still, a top-notch book on self-promotion and sales psychology. Beautifully insightful.

A salesman sales himself, as so he already imagines that he sells it out.

Concious mind is smellinghearing touch.. plan reason think
Aub concious is the programming it doesnt filter anytbing its just process information, every idea can be implementes in the sub concious mind.

Affirm the desire so it becomes reality

Transmutation, is bringing the energy to another (transmuting)

Posture is very important, people who are succesful move briskly.

Mastermind group are people that with same related interest come to gether to charge up like a battery from the right rational idea.

Go always the extra mile, as so you wil upgrade yourself

Find a mutual hobby like collecting pokemon wich can lead to a succesful sale

Like people better than money.

You have absolute only control on one thing, that's you're thoughts.

[Kirby Ingles]

[Alvaro Arrillaga]

Great book

A great book to read with lots of advices on how to become a great salesperson. It uses quotes from other of Napoleon Hill's books to give examples on how to succeed in sales and the psychology between the buyer and the salesperson.

[Joshua Stevenson]

Great easy but thought-provoking read

Made me want to go back into sales to try out the techniques but showed everything we do is a sale

[Kelzang]

Timeless principle.

Enough knowledge to get started and sell anything in life. Examples and anecdotes are amazing. Some inspiration and some practical instructions.

[Roland Martinez]

Think and Grow Rick with a little editorial reworking that doesn't really improve it but doesn't detract too much either.

[Alexander Paul Baron]

Truly astounding and Mind enriching

Good old fashioned self help and sales book. I skimmed through sections that seemed like common sense these days but still found useful pieces here and there

A classic one.

[Kapil Jagdishwala]

Insightful read with lot of real life examples.

A valuable tool for self assessment.

Even though this book was authored in a different time, the lessons and insight it has to offer are relevant today.

Selling you by TevinGM

Of course I will be biased and rate this book decently: 3.5 stars. Why not 4? It could have been 4 indeed but I want to read the other books of Napoleon Hill, which were used as a basis for this one.
Overall I can only recommend this book.
