Review of Karmic Selling
[Following is a volunteer review of "Karmic Selling" by Stan Gwizdak.]
You must have heard such sayings as, “The hand that gives receives,” “Do unto others what you would have them do to you,” and “What goes around comes around.” They emphasize that the way we treat others determines our success and failure in life. Karmic Selling by Stan Gwizdak is founded on this idea and incorporates it into the corporate world.
In one way or another, we have all been sales guys. We have sold ourselves in making friends, and we have had ideas that we have tried to convince those around us to buy into. We have also encountered or been a “real” sales guy. Yet everyone dislikes being sold to! Why? Are people no longer in need of things to buy or do they lack the money? Why do we seek an escape the moment we hear a sales pitch? In this book, the author answers these questions and sells an approach that will strip away skepticism, earn you a first, second, and subsequent date, and get you boardroom meetings and multimillion-dollar deals!
This work is far more than a guide to prosperous marketing. It goes beyond bagging that coveted commission into non-monetary gains like trust and friendship. It is a plan for building a circle of reliable people (personally and business-wise) and rooting out the weeds. Furthermore, it earns one that deep and personal feeling of fulfillment that comes from helping others. What a sentimental loser, right? Wrong! There are no losses in Karmic Selling. Only reaping what we sow. I loved this fact the most!
Another endearing aspect of the novel is how the author passes his points across. He begins with a quote, shows how and why it resonates with the idea of karmic selling (for which the book is named), and includes case studies to enable readers to see his selling points at work. My favorite quote was Theodore Roosevelt’s, “No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Coupled with wit here and there, it made the book absorbing and the lessons memorable.
On the downside, there were a few grammatical errors in the book. Nonetheless, they are negligible and do not distort the message. Also, it was a bit difficult, at first, to differentiate subtitles within a chapter from the body due to a lack of indicating elements like different fonts, font size, and spacing. But I could tell them apart as they are in the title case, and thus the reading was smooth. Still, the necessary adjustments would make this work more appealing.
I disliked nothing about Karmic Selling other than the mistakes mentioned above. However, since they could not interfere with my reading, they do not affect the book’s rating. Consequently, I award this work five out of five stars. This read is suitable for all people and professions. Nevertheless, I recommend it to introverts as it teaches them how to start, nourish, and maintain rewarding relationships.
