Book Review: Winning Through Intimidation
- wglb 16y agoWow that was a long time ago. Fascinating read. However, the review is really too thin to do the book justice.
- hga 16y agoIndeed! One can also try the Amazon reviews, e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Winning-Through-Intimidation-Robert-Ringer/dp/0449207862 http://www.amazon.com/Winning-Through-Intimidation-Robert-Ri... ; the first one details how great a book on sales it is. But to really get the flavor ... well, what about him entering a bank the minute it opens, dark suit and shades (in Florida perhaps?), with a check for at least $25,000 in today's dollars, cashing the check (which he knew the issuer would stop payment on, but he beat him) and stuffing the cash into his briefcase. This is a book both serious and funny, one that if you like will likely keep your interest which is not something I can say for the majority of business books. I read it back when in came out in the '70s before I entered the real world and I think its advice was invaluable, even for an introverted scientist/engineer like myself who needs a day of recovery after doing my part of a sales call.
