This book reminds me (unfortunately) that one of the advantages to listening to books is that you can multitask so that the time I spent listening to this book was not a complete waste of time. I managed to drive to visit some customers. The author offers little insight and uses repetition, background information and anecdotes to turn what could have been a mere article into an entire book. Additionally, the author offers no evidence that his techniques work, aside from implying that they work for him. One wonders if he has ever compiled any statistics from his consulting base.
