Audiobook, read (or sold) by the author. This was my first exposure to straight line (I didn't even watch the movie), and Jordan Belfort makes some great points.

The target audience is definitely sales people, but as the author points out, we all have something to sell at times. The goal of being sharp as a tack, enthusiastic as hell and an authority in the field matches what I have always strived for in my work.

Unfortunately, the book has some repetitive moments, and the end of the book feels a little rushed. No doubt there were a few specific details that didn't migrate from the more expensive full training course. Chapters are well laid out and, in paper, this would be an excellent reference source. The audio book less so :)

I don't recall where I saw the recommendation, but I'm glad I read it.

4.5 ⭐️

Very actionable book on selling. The book had good flow with real-life stories to backup his advice. Recommend for any salespeople and trainers.

What a piece of crack, between the bla bla blas, the mumbo jumbo and the cocky author/reader(audiobook) I barely could extract a couple of useful facts from the selling process. Very repetitive. Not a book I would recommend. One of the books that has been really a pain to finish.

I had the paperback a friend gifted me for my birthday. I finished it in one single day. Very helpful. Some great points about selling. Irrespective of your industry, there is a lot to learn from JB. He focusses on stages and points what constitutes a customer's trust. Straight Line Selling method is very good. Easy to grasp. With a lot of information.
