I love this book, I'm actually reading it a second time and taking notes! I start my new real estate career next week, and will use the information in this book immensely!
Anyone who is looking for that extra boost to gain new customers and keep old ones should definitely read this book.
And for $15 this book is a steal!

I've just taken my real estate exam in Illinois, and I can tell you this book is completely useless with the sole exception of the first couple of chapters.
The introductory chapter is good, and the questions to ask a hiring broker are excellent. All that said, that is about all that is good about this book. I'm rating it at 2 stars just because of the first chapters.
Mentions scripts for 50 some odd occasions, and none of the scripts are in the book. Wow, what am I supposed to do now? Obviously, this is just a book going on a good title and providing little if any content.
Read Danielle Kennedy's books and you will a marked contrast in the types of information you are given here. Now some of the information in Kennedy's books may be a little outlandish, but they are not right-out-wrong, or missing entirely.

Sorry, but I don't understand how this book has gotten any good reviews. It is pure fluff. The writer seems to be more of a 'motivator' than someone who can actually accomplish anything on his own. He fails to address simple issues is a straightforward manner.
Simplistic writing and convoluted logic. Save your money and buy Gary Keller's Millionaire Agent book. It is far better at showing you how to leverage your time and resources into very large returns. This author talks about beating the average income of $17,000/year. Keller teaches you how to maximize your potential and become financially independent.

This book is a good "basics" book, but the previous reviewer was right... "set a goal, be persistent and find a mentor"
If you have any sort of experience in real estate, whether it's personally knowing realtors or even buying and selling your own real estate - don't bother buying this book. Also, if you are planning on joining a non-traditional real estate broker (i.e., new construction, niche markets like condos, timeshares, etc) no need to buy this book. With my broker, I don't need to do my own listings, prospecting, advertising, etc and this book had no insight.
However, if you are just taking your license exam, and still don't know where you're going to hang your license, this book does help you figure out which broker you'd like to join.
Good Luck!
