To listen to its proponents, network (or multilevel) marketing is the greatest thing since sliced bread: top performers earn $1 million a month, reside in alluring places like Aspen and Kauai, and still find quality time to happily raise children and lovingly cement spousal relationships. Contending that those who fail to make it that far are ill prepared for the initial challenges they face, Mark Yarnell and Rene Reid Yarnell--married network marketers who are among the industry's leaders, as well as members of a University of Illinois faculty that teaches the only college-certified course on the subject in the U.S.--have written Your First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams! to convey both advice and inspiration to newcomers. Peppered with personal anecdotes that bring their recommendations to life, the two offer logical strategies for overcoming rookie obstacles and kick starting a career. Individual chapters explore issues such as battling rejection, avoiding depression, handling prospects, supervising recruits, and managing time. Each concludes with a comprehensive summary, but save it for later reference and don't skip the preceding narrative, or you risk missing the book's considerable motivational component. --Howard Rothman

5 out of 5 stars must have to make a good decision.......2007-10-14

This book gives you the down-low on what to expect in network marketing without making you feel like you don't even want to try. It is very informative and gives lots of real-life examples which ring true to my experiences with network marketing. It is a good balance of realism and optimism; all done with honesty and integrity. Any new network marketer, and even some experienced ones who are struggling, should read this book.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-09-20

This book is really great for someone entering Network Marketing . . Easy to read . .

2 out of 5 stars Same old stuff, different cover............2007-09-16

There are many books like this out there with the methods are out of date. Most successful network marketers build their fortune on the backs of others. There are some new twists on old approaches, the problem with most network marketing, MLM, multilevel marketing methods is the company's business model drives the behavior in the field and turns people into pushy, aggressive sales people, which causes huge failure in the industry.

5 out of 5 stars A great way to get going.......2007-08-16

I really enjoyed it and learned so much useful information while reading this amazing book. I only wish that I bought this book 18 months ago when I started with this wonderful MLM company I belong to. The insights of this industry are fully explained in this book along with stories that people in their organization have lived and learned through. Not only is the information useful and ready to be applied to your business but the inspiring stories are true examples that this industry works for those who work it. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is starting out in a MLM company and for anyone who is a veteran in MLM. I have recommended this book to my organization and everyone loves this book, too.

5 out of 5 stars One of The Best.......2007-10-11

I have been full time in the real estate business since 1956. This, without a doubt, is one of the best books ever written, concerning real estate. It is not only good for the new person entering real estate, or thinking about entering, it is also excellent for those that have been practicing for a good number of years. I purchased a book for each of my agents and we reviewed it page by page in subsequent Staff Meetings.

In addition I have purchased several to give away to potential agents. I want them to know what is required to be successful in this business.

Donald Kingsley, CRB, CRS

4 out of 5 stars Great primer for anyone going into the business.......2007-09-13

Wanting to get started in Real Estate, hate the idea of cold calling!!!

This is a soup to nuts primer on how to get started and keep going. Well worth the $$ and time invested!!!

5 out of 5 stars Best beginner real estate book written.......2007-05-20

As a broker, I'm always looking for new material for training my agents. This is the BEST book I've found for new real estate agents in the industry. Being a realtor is not easy, this book helps answer a lot of the questions that a new agent has. I would recommend reading this book BEFORE you decide to become an agent as it may help you with that decision. I would also recommend to read for anyone that is just startig or perhaps has been in a while but not quite making the amount of money or sales that they are happy with.

1 out of 5 stars A waste of money.......2007-04-15

I thought this book was a waste of money. It was too simple, suggestions were not worth paying for. I sold it on ebay. It wasn't worth returning it to Amazon, and losing money because of the shipping.

4 out of 5 stars A good beginning start.......2007-01-28

This is a good beginning start for a 'new' real estate agent. It provides a stepping stone of information and gives perspectives of what you could do in the beginning of your career. Be mindful that you are working for commission and customers is your number one goal. Having customers, being able to network and create leads are three primary necessities. Please note the strategies here are not at all canon. In other words, you need to re-adjust strategies based on your location and your situation. For instance, in one part of the book, it tells you to go with a large brokerage to get your feet wet, but that may not help if you're looking for a mentor, as many large brokerages, especially commercial ones, do not have the time nor are they interested in raising another competitor.

Overall the book is solid, in that it provides a stepping stone.

5 out of 5 stars pharma sales.......2007-07-08

great book. very informative. I highly suggest buying this book before you try and get a pharma job. You will realise that after reading it, the process is whole differant approach than a conventional job.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent primer.......2007-02-03

This book is a fantastic primer for "how-to-get-a-job" in pharmaceutical sales. It is a quick read, but the information is complete and if you actually follow-through with all of the tactics that the author suggests, you have a good chance of at least getting one interview. After that it will be up to you to sell yourself and demonstrate that you actually know what you're talking about. But again, if you do what the author advises you to do, you should be able to get the business.

5 out of 5 stars So far, so good!.......2007-01-18

Great reference. Thorough, succinct, nice extras in the back, lots of legwork already done for you!

Very helpful book and very well documented. The only thing I wish is that it gave more specific sales advice for when you start the job.

5 out of 5 stars By far the best book available for job hunters.......2007-10-19

If I were to buy only one book on job hunting, it would be Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters by Jay Conrad Levinson and David Perry. The book gave me specific action items and HOW TO do them. After reading the book, I put away all thoughts of using outsiders to write or rewrite my resume and cover letters. I loved the unconventional methods and real world examples - they are the kind of food for thought that actually get your creative juices flowing. I look forward to waking up every day to use these ideas - job hunting is a job; this book added joy to the journey.

5 out of 5 stars A real eye opener.......2007-10-17

Many books are point of view out on how to land a "dream" job, this one is the benchmark. This has real information on the inside track. In fact the book is based on recruiter's know-how.
There are a lot of books that promise many things, this book delivers. Tips and tricks ... there is no slight of hand, the book is full of information that will get job hunters noticed and employers to take notice.
The information is strait forward concise with examples, it's an easy read and a real eye opener. This book should be handed out to all graduating classes along with their diploma...
This is great stuff!

Anthony

4 out of 5 stars Thorough, but very U.S.-centric.......2007-07-14

Very thorough, touches every aspect of the job hunt. Not sure how much of the tips are really "guerrilla marketing" though. It's very up to date and the author understands the importance of the online world very well which is great. My big complaint is that it's very U.S.-centric, many of these tactics would be damaging instead of useful in other parts of the world.

5 out of 5 stars Very Useful for Thinking Outside Box.......2007-06-18

I found this book extremely useful. It gave me great ideas for networking and provided some excellent examples of how to think outside the box in regard to getting your name and resume to the top of the list. I would highly recommend it.

This book about interview of phamaceutical company is very useful for me.
Thank you for your fast delivery.

3 out of 5 stars Basic interview text.......2007-04-06

Didn't get the job, but the book did help me a little during the multiple interviews. The better option is to call a rep and have a sit-down to go over the ins and outs. If you can't find one, go to your local pharmacy, they'll have contact info for you. Good luck!

5 out of 5 stars 3 Days Review.......2007-01-16

Great book! Very different info than other pharmaceutical books. This book is very straight forward and easy to follow. I recommend it for anyone trying to break into the pharmaceutical business.

2 out of 5 stars I guess OK.......2006-08-11

The book I would say is good if you are willing go insanely above and beyond the normal realms of getting a job...most of the info. is pretty easy to figure out on your own, but if structure is needed this can be a good guideline. Over all it did not do much for me, but it might work wonders for others.

2 out of 5 stars Deficient in important information.......2006-06-14

On the positive side, the book is neat and is written with humor. Unfortunately the negatives outweigh the positives. When reading this book, I found that most of the information covers resume writing and how to make contact with pharmaceutical sales reps. I think some of her advice about making contact could prevent you from ever getting a job in pharmaceutical sales because it is so unprofessional. The "how to actually get the job part," the interview, was seriously deficient in information. There were few questions and few answers, and next to nothing about how to prepare for the interview. This one simply does not deliver on the description of the book given.

5 out of 5 stars A Broad Overview and Practical Tips.......2007-08-31

This book is great. It gave me a broad overview of the mortgage industry and practical tips to get started as a mortgage broker. This book covers everything from are you the right person for this industry?, how to interpret financial indicators?, how to put all the success-proof components (knowledge, marketing, and technology) in motion?, what types of loans are available?, how to open your own shop when you are ready?, to even how to strike a work life balance? This is an easy read and I highly recommend it to anyone who might be interested in getting started in the mortgage industry.

Thanks Dan for writing such a valuable book.

5 out of 5 stars DANIEL KAHN REALLY OUT DID HIMSELF!!.......2007-08-21

I've read several Mortgage Broker books in preparation of starting my own Mortgage Broker firm. I can sincerely state that this is the most concise and informative Mortgage Broker book I've read. Daniel not only breaks the Mortgage Industry down into layman terms, but he also provides his readers access to his personal business web site.

GREAT JOB DAN!!

5 out of 5 stars Real estate sales person recommends this book!.......2007-08-05

As a real estate sales professional for almost twenty years, I know how important it is to work with a competent mortgage broker. Dan Kahn gives great insight into what it takes to become a success in the mortgage business - he lays it out from just getting started to getting ahead. This book is also a valuable reference tool for home buyers since it explains the mortgage process and its lingo. I found it an easy read and a book to keep for future reference.

5 out of 5 stars Insightful Read.......2007-06-27

I am not much of a reader at all, but this book is clear and to the point. If you are new to the mortgage industry this book will give you a good base of knowledge to get you started. It will not teach you all of the ins and outs, but will introduce you to terms and ideas essential for understanding what the heck you are talking about to clients. Some of the contents are a little more than the beginner needs to know, but you can easily bypass those parts. Overall a good book!

5 out of 5 stars Great Book!.......2007-04-12

Well researched. Content decently put together. Makes you want to just keep reading. Great job author! Serves as good reference material too. Good for keeps.

5 out of 5 stars Sell Yourself.The title says it all........2006-12-18

I just had to write a review of this wonderful book after seeing the totally erroneous and misleading review that was posted here about it. I used this book to get a great job.

Let's be honest and give this book and the author a fair shake. The title says it all, "Sell Yourself: Master the Job Interview Process." That's pretty plain. The author mentions that there are many books on writing resumes and searching for jobs. She has focused on what she feels is the most important, and yet most neglected area of the job interview process and that is the lack of preparation that leads to interview failure. What is that lack of preparation? It is the failure to learn how to sell yourself that causes the interviewee to fail. How do I know this? I wrote my own resume first. Then I hired a professional to write a great resume for me. I studied "resume writing" and "finding jobs" and even "examples of interview questions" and it didn't help me during the interview at all. Why? Because you can hire someone to write a great resume for you and you can even write one yourself. However, when you show up for the interview you have to be able to perform. In other words you really have to be able to "sell yourself" to the potential employer. If you fail to do that, you will fail to get the job.

The book is very well organized and clear in purpose. It provides great information on successfully answering interview questions and winning the job. That's the goal. Win the position!

I say, way to go Jane Williams. You have given thousands of people very sound selling advice and explained how to use it to get the job of their dreams.

1 out of 5 stars Just overrated.......2006-12-09

This book is just a collection of salesman techniques. The first chapter devote to resume writing are just a plain waste. They don't even scratch the subject and you would be better getting a book dedicated to this topic.

As for the rest, I found the content lacking of a strong organization. The author is clearly relating to her experience in the health care industry. This is why I think that the title is misleading. There are many other books on this subject and I think you can safely pass this one without missing anything important.

Not recommended given the abundant literature available on this subject.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Insight Into the Job Interview Process.......2006-07-08

As a manager who has interviewed many people and who thought of myself as something of an expert on interviewing, I found that there was still much for me to learn. Before I applied for a promotion I thought I would pick this book up because it was inexpensive and it promised to give more than the typical "resume writing, cover letter and tips on networking" slant. I did not think that I was likely to get much from it. I was so wrong!

This is a truly amazing approach to the job interview process because this author happens to be an excellent sales person. She teaches the reader through examples and explanations exactly how to sell themselves during an interview. This is the critical performance part of the interview. The very reason I bought the book was because I was curious AND because I have caught many an interviewee off-guard and made them squirm uncomfortably during an interview.

I work in a financial servicing industry and not in sales at all and this book helped me to perform well enough during the interview that I received a promotion competing with a person that I thought would surely be promoted over me. My boss stated how impressed he was with my preparation and my interview and how surprised he was because he had not seen that side of me. If you can only buy one interview book, buy this one.

4 out of 5 stars Decent book.......2006-04-13

The subtitle reads "Insider's Guide to the World of Pharmaceutical Sales" (enlarge the pic). Most of the book is focused on how to get a job in sales, specifically, pharmaceutical sales. It probably won't do too much good to someone who is a totally different industry.

Other than that, the book contains few good tips for both seasoned pros and recent graduates and is written in a clear and understandable way. It is worth its price but is not a jewel.

5 out of 5 stars Concise - A must have!.......2006-03-20

Well written and very up to date. I have been on several interviews and this book really explains some of the challenges we face in the interview process. This book helps to characterize many aspects of the questions you face in the interview process. How to over come very sensitive work problem issues that you need to disclose in the interview and hiring process. I highly recommend buying this book before going out to meet your prospective employer.

This career guide demystifies what is going on in that chaotic trading floor and is fun to read.
