Imperfect, but devastantingly on point about much.

Other things have pulled me away from reading lately, but I'm glad to get back to it.

I'm crawling through this book given everything going on in my life, but I appreciate it.

This was a great reading session. The life-blood of sales is asking good questions, listening well, and having the courage, compassion, competence to present your solution to solve their problems.

I liked his excursus into sales, particularly, given my current profession.

This reading session was especially meaningful to me because of its emphasis on synergistic sales.

I'm glad to be reading this book. It feels very timely.

Some of this sounds like "pie in the sky," but I'm willing to hear him out.

This is definitely a book I'll keep handy over my sales and leadership career. I like that it has summaries at the end of each chapter.

I'm making all kinds of connections to my introductory post for The Theology Experience as I read.

I appreciate the focus on *integrity* and *competence* and *service* in this book's philosophy of the sales profession.

Ziglar, as a Christian family man, has a more "based" take on selling than many of the "Johnny come lately"s.

My conscience is moved so far. I think this is going to be a powerful book in my life.

Having read the introductory chapter, I'm certainly "hooked." I'm eager to learn about this transformation principle: the third alternative. Not "my way" or "your way" but "our way."

I listened to this over a decade ago. In April, I re-listened to it on Spotify Premium, and I am now going to read it as I prepare to get back into the sales profession after my Army service.

I got a hard-cover edition for my physical library. I've read this book several times (probably between 5 and 10 times), but it is a "life book" for me, and I need some serious reminders.

Wow...so much gold in this book.

This is, without a doubt, one of the better books I've read about "time management." I once paid several thousand dollars for a time management program that, unfortunately, left out some of the critical *principles* made simple and clear in this book.

An important deeper dive into Habits 1-3 from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," but - of course - particularly Habit 3: Put First Things First.
