I'm a HUGE Gitomer fan. I have several books, get his enewsletter, have seen him speak, met him and give his books out as gifts to colleagues and clients. This one is too thin on content and too redundant. It feels more like Jeffrey decided it was time to publish a book than that he had a slew of good content. I'd highly recommend his Little Red Book of Selling far and away over Connections. I just find the latter uninspired and basic.

I am in sales management. Buy this book for yourself and more importantly buy this book for your sales staff! They'll make more money and so will you!!

I've just finished reading the Little Black Book of Connections - or rather I finished the "first read" of the book. As all of Jeffrey's books, this is a "perpetual read" that keeps on giving. He is the master of stating the obvious; when you read his recommendations it seems obvious - but if it is so obvious, why don't we do it?

And I am not a sales person looking for ideas on how to boost my sales - I am a process improvement consultant. My business partner is a retail consultant and trainer and recommended that I read Jeffrey's Sales Bible. I read it for a lack of something better to read and now own every one of Jeffry's books, subscribe (and anticipate) his weekly e-zine and wait patiently for every new book he publishes. And you will find many "treasures" hidden in every one of Jeffrey's book in the form of Redbits and Gitbits.

And talk about results - every time I read (and re-read) his books, I learn something new, apply it and always get results.

And this guy can write - better than any business writer I know. You will find no "fluff" in his books - all useful content. Jeffrey doesn't waste words - he just delivers - value, value, value. He can get his point across better than any writer.

One last note - Not only are Jeffrey's books the absolute best sales and service reading in the world, the book bindings and composition are works of art. Once you read one of his books, you will most certainly buy the rest of them - just like the rest of us Jeffrey Gitomer fans ...

Jeffrey Rocks!

Irrespective of your line of business, Jeffrey's advice is applicable, pragmatic, concise, and valuable. I'm a specialist in the business development, sales, and marketing of complex Information Technology products and services, and Gitomer has long been one of my favorite sources for concrete, actionable information. In Little Black Book, he certainly has structured a quick read that's applicable to all of us.

I did not think this was one of his best wrting.
