I am very new to sales and while sometimes I wish the author would get to the point faster, I've already been incorporating suggestions to success. For me in particular, the discussion on voice tone has helped. I ordered this book based on this blog entry and am about 150 pages into it.

What struck me in particular in this review is the overview on rapport building. I have been in Iraq for the past 10 months training Iraqi police. My mission relies almost solely on my ability to establish a solid rapport with the Iraqi police generals and the local populace. Then I serve as a mentor and advisor. Being an advisor inherently means they can say no to what ever I advise them. This can be very hard at times with language and cultural barriers. The methods you describe sound very much like what I have learned to do out of necessity, physical warmth and building trust being the most important. I have also learned how to accurately determine someone’s true intentions or feelings during a conversation solely by watching body movements not just eye movements. A translator can not always convey true intentions and exact meanings of dialogue. I'm sure this book will only aid me in my mission and help to strengthen skills I have already developed out of necessity. Thanks for the review.
