Silver Winner--Tops Sales World's Best Sales and Marketing Book Revealed: the winning blueprint for making deals like The Oracle of Omaha

Highly successful dealmakers themselves, Tom Searcy and Henry DeVries have been studying Buffett's unique approach for many years. Now, they reveal the secrets of the Oracle of Omaha. "How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett" gives you the 101 top deal-making maxims of a legend in his own time. Here's just a small sampling of what's inside:

Warren Way #22: Choose quality.
"It's better to own a portion of the Hope diamond than 100 percent of a rhinestone."

Warren Way #41: Deal making is a no-called-strike game.
"You don't have to swing at everything--you can wait for your pitch."

Warren Way #75. Think long term.
"Our favorite holding period is forever."

Warren Way #92. Don't do deals just to do deals.
"We don't get paid for activity, just for being right."

Warren Way #98. Think for yourself.
"My idea of a group decision is to look in the mirror."

Warren Way #99. Be honest in your deal making.
"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."

Searcy and DeVries round it all out with an abundance of their own expertise--approaches that, added up, have generated billions of dollars in new sales.

كتاب جيد، يحتوي على خطوات عملية، أظن أن الأشخاص اللذي يعملون في الإدارة و من هم مخولين بعقد الصفقات ممكن أن يستفيده منه.
اعجبني كمهتم بالإستثمار طريقة وارن بوفيت باختيار استثماراته، ليس مطلوب منك أن تكون في وول ستريت لتتعرف على المشاريع القوية بل ممكن أن تجدها بأماكن أبسط و أقرب إليك بكثير
أنصح بكتاب آخر لمن يهتم بهذا المحال أسمه: كن الأفضل في وول ستريت

Title is misleading

It's not about buying businesses. It's about enterprise sales ... It's not about buying businesses. It's about enterprise sales ...

Agak membosankan ketika dibaca, buku ini juga banyak mengulang hal hal yang telah dijelaskan

It’s rare that a book is so bad that I echo another reviewer, Majorie Cheng, who writes, “A total waste of time.”

It has promise to be a good book. It starts in a logical place: what motivates us to make deals like Warren Buffett? From there it moves into guidelines for making such deals, with chapters like “Deal Only with Dealmakers” and “Victory Favors the Ready.”

Tucked away in Appendix A is a list of “101 Warren Ways.” These also pop up as callouts through the book and this list is the only reason to buy this book.

The “101 Warren Ways” connect to one of two significant problems with How to Close a Deal Like Warren Buffett. First is that the book lacks an overarching organisational structure. This stops the author’s message from getting through and makes it challenging to learn anything.

The second problem is that the author touches on hundreds of subjects but goes into depth on none. These things combined mean you can’t grasp an earlier point before you’re shuttled onto the next one.

I may be wrong, but I can’t see how anyone gains from this book. It should never have been published.

The only thing that made me finish this book was that the quotes from Warren Buffett were highlighted, so I could skim through and find those.
