In the last 15+ years I have read 100+ sales books. I would only recommend about 5, this is one of them.

This is the best Executive/Business Owner level Sales and Marketing system book I have read.

This is a big picture and overview book with many useful extras. I have read no other sales book with such useful information about integrating marketing with sales systems. I believe Sales Machine is an excellent descriptive title and what this book is about.

Most sales books are for face-to-face salespersons, all about nuts and bolts of sales techniques. Sales Machine has some of that, but more importantly this book is all about the big picture of Sales & Marketing in real application.

I believe this book lays the foundation for non-sales and non-marketing people to appreciate these two areas and respect what they do. I believe everyone will benefit from the self-management and productivity teaching in the first few chapters. I have not seen a sales book as well written which includes marketing.

I owned an insurance agency for 14 years. I wish I would have had these sales machine information years ago. I believe it would have saved me 100's of hours and earned me 100,000's of dollars. I believe it will save and earn me more in my current business.

When I read the Foreword: When Words Are Never Enough by Michael E. Gerber I thought- yeah right, this book isn't that good. But, since I have had lunch with Michael (sales contest payoff) I trust his statements. He says "Let the system be the solution" this book does it. I was in no way disappointed. This book delivered just like Michael said it would.

I am going to recommend this book to all our executives. This is a great book to build a sales and marketing culture in an organization. It expresses exactly what I want in a business. This is a great book to build a business around.

I recommend this book. Worth every dollar. It is one of my top five sales book choices.

I read this book in 5 minutes and realized it was fluff , this book title says turbo charge your business but talk about basic common sense like stand up and present, bond well , give gifts to prospects all this is done on a daily basis no need for a book .

This book has really great insight on improving virtually every area of your business and your personal life too. It's a definite 'Buy'.

Chet Holmes provides a program built on 12 foundational skills which he says can double your sales. The steps are practical, sensible and focused on action. Holmes directs his instructions to salespeople who take responsibility, practice their skills and work smart. If you fall into that category, his method will help you realize your sales goals step by step, via time management, sharp marketing, great hiring and polished sales skills. getAbstract recommends this solid book to executives, sales managers and sales professionals. It might be a new sales classic.

common sense is not common practice. a quick refence for re-starting, re-energizing, re-focusing yourself and teams. Get everyone to read it and put it to work.

Chet Holmes has put together a GREAT presentation on how to Turbocharge any business. Although I'm heading into my "autumn years", I've recharged my selling activities. Pity this book wasn't available years ago, not that I wasn't an achiever then but could have been a super star. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to "lead the pack" and be a trend setter in the business world.

Haven't finished reading this yet, but Chet Holmes really offers some great insights into creating sales and what it takes to be a sales person. I like the layout - the 12 strategies makes it easy to understand. It's definitely worth the time.

This is an excellent resource for any organization. Chet Holmes lays out the steps for any sales force to become successful.

I've been in sales, marketing, and management for 31 years and this is, simply, an outstanding compilation of how-to information for which one would normally pay quite handsomely. The step-by-step details work regardless of the size of company. The information about correcting mistakes and fine-tuning newly implemented ideas is sensational.

The negative for me was the lack of quality in the audio discs. The discs weren't the regular, silver-backed discs but burned copies. Two of the first four discs wouldn't even play. The fact he couldn't follow his own advice and distribute a high quality item is quite perturbing.

I would rate this book as the best marketing book to read if you had only "One" book to choose for improving your sales and fine tuning your business.

I am a new fan of Chet's, after reading this book!
Clear, concise steps for REAL improvement...a MUST for your library!!!
Thanks, Chet!
