….the same “mantras” are heard in “teamwork” sessions at major corporations and multi-level marketing seminars nationwide. All that’s happened here is yet another enterprising entrepreneur combined them all and figured the best way to make money was to sell books.

I have read many sales book in the past 12 months. I am researching available information on sales for a masters program paper I am doing. This is by far the worst of over 75 books I have read. Rehashed information. Outdated ideas. All hype very little substance. A waist of time and money. This book deserves zero stars.

A quick read, this book is vintage Gitomer. Combining humor with fundamental skills, readers will laugh and learn at the same time. 5 stars all the way!

I sent this book back. It is written in bullet points and different types of fonts and in bold. It seemed to be yelling out car salesmen pitches. Good for those with attention deficits?

I love the style this book is written. I am in sales training myself, and his style mirrors mine. You get basic, common sense advice, and no bs. You have no place to hide with Jeffrey, he’s the Nike of Sales — Just Do It.

When I asked my mom what the differences were between boys and girls, she handed me this book to read. Man, how exciting! I learned a lot. But, my mom told me not to look at girls, because that is naughty and that girls lead to bad things like having fun and taking all of your money.

Yes, I did order this book for my grand daughter, and she is getting a lot out of it and enjoys it, will get a lot of good information, but if you are asking about my last shipment where you have sent out 2 of these books, then I am very unhappy as I did not order but only one book of this kind. Since this is going to a correctional facility I am in hopes of retriving it to be returned to you. I do not know how it happened, have never had this problem ever.

I don’t find it necessary to buy a book on this; kids are generally self taught and most kids probably find this less than necessary and rather cheesy. It has tips on how to brush your teeth: I hope, that kids could brush their teeth sufficiently by the time they can even read the book. Everything we didn’t know from this book, is rather unnecessary like the shapes boobs can grow into, quite… informing? The kids who would probably do need this are the ones who are probably alienated from sex education but probably would be over-whelmed by cartoon diagrams of kids using tampons. It terrified me.

I bought ths book a number of years ago and flipped through it. I was around 9 at the time, and I didn’t think it was particularly amazing or evil. But now, at age 12, I look back at it and realize that the book is badly proportioned, for lack of a better word. The information given is extremely basic (don’t we all know how to brush our hair?), yet some of the sections are what I would consider pretty graphic. Cartoonic nudity? And on the back of the book it says ages 8 and up! Hah. Like I’d believe that. Do yourself and your girl a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Thanks Much,

I bought it when I was 9, lead by the low age recommendation.

For awhile I wanted such things as in this book to happen to me, but that quickly subsided, and I became terrified of such things, convinced they would happen to me THAT day.

I don’t worry about such things any more; wanting to be an actress saved me

But to parents – do you want your daughter’s childhood to be spoiled with such?

My advice; ignore this book; its horribly forward, does just what they claim not to – pushes you to grow up too fast. But if you must give it, wait untill she’s at least 13.
