If you are just starting out in a sales career or have been in one for a while and would like to increase your sales, this is the first book you should read. There are many books on attitude that I have read, but this is by far the best. I read this book 30 years ago and along with other sales techniques from other books, raised my volume 50% in less than a year. Great book.

Great advice on how to handle even the most difficult person. I found some of the techniques hard to use in the real world, but for the most part I learned quite a bit from this book. I learned how to communicate more effectively with people.

Updated to 1981 (Carnegie died in 1955, his widow was alive at least to 1981). The ur-book of its genre. It contains some basic truths that might easily be forgotten because they are so obvious, like "smile", and use people's names when talking to them.

Great book. Some of the book is a little outdated but the basic principles still exist. This is a very important book and should be taught in schools as standard learning. You may not walk away with everything that the book tried to give you, but you will walk away with a different perspective on how you interact with people, and if you take the suggestions to heart, you will find you begin to live a better life. Great book.Classic.

A friend recommended this book because I was transitioning careers into insurance sales. This book has completely changed my outlook on how to interact with people. I've been working in retail management for 4 years and considered myself as being successful at it, but after reading this book I realized that I was sabotaging myself in so many ways. Anyone who works in sales or service industries at any level should obviously read this book, but I suggest reading it regardless of what you do for a living. This book can help dealing with argumentative spouses, children, neighbors, bosses, anybody.
