How to Sell Anything to Anybody Summary

The SQUEEZE: Selling products effectively requires a certain tenacity that only the most disciplined are successful. It is this sentiment that forms the basis of Joe Girard and Stanley H. Brown’s book titled “How to Sell Anything to Anybody.” Girard believes that “[s]alesmen are made, not born. If [he] did it, you can do it.” In the book, Girard explores his fifteen-year career as a salesman, selling over 13,000 cars to become the Guinness World Record holder. Girard comments that he never received a degree from an Ivy League school, nor did he receive professional training that contributed to his success. Girard just possessed an old-fashioned drive to sell, building upon his personal principles of trust and hard work. “How to Sell Anything to Anybody” is comprised of 20 major chapters; from “The End of Loser, the Beginning of a Winner” to “Selling the Smell,” Girard offers practical tips to help readers understand the importance of knowing the product in order to reach professional mastery.

 

Notable Endorsement: "Joe Girard is the Michelangelo and Tiger Woods of sales."

--Harry Beckwith, author of Selling the Invisible
