There was absolutely no useful information for anyone but maybe a car salesman and even that material sounds dated. A total waste of money
Rating: 1 / 5
This book was such a waste of money and time spent reading it. Unless you are in the car sales business, this book will not do you any good. The title of the book in my opinion is decieving. The advice is basic and again it only pertains to an individual who sells cars. Not to mention, the author toots his own horn too much throughout the book. He spends so much time talking about his greatness at sales. Total turn-off.

Unless you are selling cars, I wouldn’t waste your money. There are other books by Alan Loy McGinnis and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale that would be better for your salesmanship and positive attitude. Also a lot of material in this book is basic boilerplate if you talk to any experienced car salesperson.

This book is called “How to Sell Anything to Anybody,” but it should be called, “How to Sell Cars.” All the examples and all the author’s experience is related to selling cars. I know there are a lot of similarities between selling cars and selling other things, but this book centered on a lot of things that are only relevent to the auto industry. The title is definitely deceiving!

There are some good tips for selling in this book, and people who are in the car-sales business would probably enjoy it and benefit from it. Aside from that audience, however, this book is likely to disappoint. First of all, the information and the way its presented are extremely out of date. The book was originally written in the late seventies, and if it’s been updated, it’s hardly evident. There is a very sexist tone to the book — not a malicious one, but just a product of its times. Nevertheless, it is pretty offputting. Secondly, a major portion of this book is dedicated to author Joe Girard working out his abusive childhood. This may have been therapeutic for Mr. Girard to write, and may be interesting for some to read, but if you’re looking for sales tips, this whole portion of the book is going to be quite frustrating. And thirdly, although some of the sales tips can be applied to any type of selling, for the most part, this is a book for car salesmen — period. Mr. Girard seems like a nice guy and one heck of a salesman, but this book did not even begin to live up to my expectations.
