Most everyone has dealt with a salesperson in their lifetime. When dealing with this salesperson, the consumer has either a good or a bad experience. It is important for sales professionals to understand the basics of how to interact with the public and how to adapt to different situations. The book, “Ziglar on Selling” by Zig Ziglar explains this subject in detail. Through real life examples, scenarios, and techniques Ziglar walks readers through how to be successful in an ever growing and rewarding, yet challenging career. By drawing from material discussed in Mrs. Wither’s class as well as from the book, I learned a great deal from reading Ziglar’s work.

He states that timid salespeople often do not close as many sales as they could, “Timid salespeople have skinny kids” (Ziglar, 1991, p. 177). He explores how to keep your confidence high yet in check, how to ask the right questions at the right time, and how to persuade the customer into saying “yes”. He also provides ways to overcome objections in a later chapter by providing methods to engage and inform the customer. The way Ziglar explained these topics aided me in gaining a better understanding of sales in ways that are not always talked about in a text book. To me this proves that not all subjects can be learned in a classroom, but rather can be obtained through actual experiences. I think Ziglar did a great job in sharing his observations and engraining them into the minds of new generations of salespeople.

This book did help me to better understand the world of selling. Selling to people is an art, and must be done with calculation. Everyone salesperson must deal with the public and this book gave me significant insight on how to better handle situations that will be thrown my way. By pairing the material in the novel as well as material we learned in class, I know how to propose my product to people and what strategies to use to make my sales pitch. With my future career fast approaching, I feel more prepared for what lies

Emily, I am going out on a limb here to say that you have read the book and even possibly watched the lecture? I definitely agree with your assessment of Pausch, he was given the worst new and a deadline and he just kept going! The way the book portrayed Pausch, he had something to give not only his kids, but something the world needed to hear as well, and it was very true. Pausch definitely seemed invested in those around him more so than he cared about himself. He seemed to genuinely care for his students at Carnegie Mellon, which makes me also conclude he was a pragmatic, socialized
