      helpful to you?

    I have read 100's of books on persuasion and sales related training and this is easily one of the very best books available. Is it the best? That is simply a matter of opinion although this is easily in my top three. At first, the ideas seem simplistic and basic adn oyu maybe saying to yourself " Oh I've heard about that before". Yet as the book progresses and you truly begin to delve into the exercises and actually DO them, something changes. I began to realize how the information helps you think conceptually and apply concepts of persuasion that are available all around you. To think in a manner that is persuasive helps instill persuasioveness into your daily routine and life.

    This is a terrific book to assist someone who is just starting a business and striving to create an image and persona that truly stands out. What I appreciate most about the book is how direct the information is and how unique the concepts truly are. If you want to learn how to create mystery, fascination, and command attention everytime, buy this book adn play with it's ideas.

    This book is highly recommended!

    Other books I would recommend are:

    The Psychology of persuasion By Kevin Hogan
    Persuasion: the art of getting what you want Dave Lakhani
    Any book by Robert Greene
    Influence By Robert Cialdini

    For sales, The little red seeling book and the little rede sales answers books By Jeffrey Gitomer.
    And Joe Girard because he's a classic.

From the Jacket

Praise for HOW TO PERSUADE PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO BE PERSUADED

"Joel Bauer has brought the art and science of persuasion to a whole new level with How to Persuade People Who Don’t Want to Be Persuaded. His remarkable technologies will amaze even the most dedicated of skeptics."
– Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power

"Joel Bauer and Mark Levy bring incredible insight to this most essential of business skills: persuasion. Whether you’re a CEO or a field rep, if your job is to make the sale, you’ll find this book of immediate value."
–Gary Hoover, founder, Hoover’s Inc.

"If the devil wrote a manual on how to get people to do your bidding, this would be it. Chillingly good."
–Joe Vitale, author of Spiritual Marketing

"Joel Bauer and Mark Levy’s book is phenomenal. I read an early draft and used two techniques (the Paper Metaphor and the Transformation Mechanism) at a tradeshow to generate a year’s worth of qualified leads in three days! This book will make your sales productivity soar."
–Kevin Daum, CEO, Stratford Financial Services, an INC 500 company

"Be very, very careful with this book in your hands. It is powerful–almost too powerful–to the point of being explosive. This is no mealy-mouthed, run-of-the-mill, watered-down business book. This is a book that will change the way you do just about everything associated with your business: from approaching new clients to communicating with senior executives in a way that not only grabs their attention, but solidifies their commitment as well. Can you handle it? (By the way . . . I just used one of the many techniques I learned in How to Persuade People Who Don’t Want to Be Persuaded: The Fright Challenge!)"
–Bill Treasurer, founder, Giant Leap Consulting, Inc., author of Right Risk

"This is the best book on persuasion (no, make that the best book on life) since How to Win Friends and Influence People, and the best book on selling I’ve ever read. Bauer and Levy have revolutionized the art of salesmanship."
–Jack Foster, author of How to Get Ideas
