This is a 4 hour sales workshop recorded with a live audience exclusively for Audible. Any business owner or sales person is going to get a lot from listening to this. For the price of one single Audible credit the value you get in return is incredible, but is it worth 4 hours of your time? Absolutely! There are two levels of learning here: Firstly, working directly with the audience Phil takes you through the '9 levels of Success' and shares hugely practical guidance on how to get more of the right buyers to buy from you (4 page downloadable PDF worksheet comes with the book). Secondly, observing how Phil facilitates a workshop is a speaking masterclass in itself. I will certainly be returning to this in the future.

Enjoyed this more than I expected at the start. A lot of valuable content, and well worth your time

I don't do a lot of motivational books, but this one really helped me rethink some of my strategies for selling my business better, how to speak to clients, and especially useful for my industry, to ask for referrals. I think it was a bit rushed, especially the last third or so, as it crammed a lot of information into a small amount of time. I'd like to have more examples and in-depth exploration of the strategies. But I do think they are useful and effective, and I'm looking forward to trying them out.

While there was no doubt valuable info, this still felt a little icky on the sales side.

Krótkie i bardzo treściwe nagarnie wystąpienia live Phila Jones-a. W zwartej formie autor przechodzi przez wszystkie kolejne punkty sprzedaży pokazdując jak powinna wyglądać rozmowa z klientem. Zwraca uwagę na dużo szczegółów, w tym:
- jak przedstawiać siebie, aby nie wpaść w stereotypy
- jak pokazać swoją ofertę
- jak wyodrębniać obiekcje i zamykać je na boku
- co robić, aby "prowadzić" w rozmowie
- na koniec aż 7 rodzajów "domykania" transakcji

Śwetny workshop z dużą ilością przykładów. Z pewnością będe do niego wracał.

Exceptional. I had to listen to it twice, because it really does bring a lot of value in such a short amount of time.
I can definitely recommend this if you are struggling with closing sales, if you are running your own business and need help in getting that extra edge in terms of sales or if you're just interested in selling in general.
Phil M. Jones delivers all his points very succinctly and it's all easy to understand.
Very well worth your time and money!

Great listen on audible! If you are in sales, this book is a must! Phil gives tactics and strategies on how to speak to clients and present offers that help the decision making process for all parties involved.

[S.J. Reisner · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was okay. Some interesting tips about talking to people and getting them to listen to your pitch, which is something a lot of people in my line of work struggle with. Then sealing the deal. I'll definitely be trying some of this once in-person conventions start up again.

Phil is definitely a dynamic speaker. But he also backs up the humor with lots of knowledge! I have a lot that I'm already working on and others that I will implement in time. I learned a lot about sales and feel more confident and comfortable with sales calls.

Not worth the time, there are much better books on sales!!
Low effort book, a collection of his recorded presentations with an audience.
Basic ideas which are so obvious but his audience still reacting widely to them 🙄🙄

Great reminder. "Be genuinely interested..."

[Chris Calon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good content. Quick easy and understandable. A yearly read for any person in a sales position. Will need to revisit the ideas again and again to cement them in my mind.

[Steve · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wasn't quite sure where this was going at first, but then really picked up. Some really good ideas and a helpful framework for sales.

[Suzie Volkes · Rating 4 out of 5]

For most of this audio book, I thought it was the same as any other sales advice. However, the second half of the book has some great pieces of advice and is worth a listen.

[Grigori Paslari · Rating 5 out of 5]

Will be re-reading it definitely and also will check other books of this author.

So, I recently came across Alex Hormozi's 100m Offers program and let me tell you, it has completely changed my mindset when it comes to business.

Let me give you a little background on the man himself. Alex Hormozi is a former US Marine turned fitness entrepreneur. He started his first gym in 2013 and quickly grew it to become one of the top 5 gyms in the US. After experiencing major success with his gym, he decided to share his knowledge and strategies with other entrepreneurs through his program, 100m Offers.

Now, you might be wondering why this program is so great. Well, for starters, Alex Hormozi doesn't just give you a generic step-by-step guide on how to run a successful business. His program is filled with real-life experiences and lessons that he has learned along the way. He doesn't sugarcoat anything and tells you exactly what it takes to succeed in the world of entrepreneurship.

Entertaining and excellent delivery. I came away with many new action points. This Audiobook came with a useful PDF summary as well.
