"Karmic Selling" by Stan Gwizdak contains insights and advice on building trust, being authentic, and achieving success through helping others. It includes case studies and personal life experiences and is recommended as an essential guide to rewarding business relationships.

The main theme of "Karmic Selling" is prioritizing how one can help others, earning their trust, and building authentic connections, rather than traditional sales tactics. It emphasizes the Karmic principle that doing good comes back to you and provides actionable steps for readers to implement this approach in their sales and business practices. It also focuses on a service-oriented approach to sales and building business relationships, emphasizing the importance of connecting with clients rather than just focusing on closing the deal. The book highlights the principle of Karmic reciprocity and provides practical steps to apply this approach in sales, including case studies and reflection exercises designed to help readers put these principles into action. Other topics explored include the importance of personalization, the power of storytelling, relationship-building techniques, the importance of follow-up, and authentic networking.

What I like the most about the book is that it encourages a new approach to sales. The book offers a unique approach to sales that prioritizes building connections with clients based on serving them rather than asking for the sale. It also provides practical steps for application and concepts that readers may implement in their sales practices. This includes chapters on how to prepare for meetings, how to build relationships based on empathy and authenticity, and how to earn trust by following up and keeping commitments. I also like the use of real-life case studies and examples to illustrate how these principles can be applied in practice. These examples provide readers with a clear idea of how to use Karmic Selling to build meaningful relationships with clients. Additionally, the book has exercises and reflections that can transform one’s career and businesses. The networking strategies found in the book may also be appealing to those new to the sales industry.

However, while the book has received positive reviews for its unique approach to sales and relationship-building, there are also a few potential criticisms of the book. While "Karmic Selling" provides a fresh and unique perspective on sales and relationship-building, it may not be suitable for readers who are seeking more traditional sales guidance or data-driven approaches to sales techniques. The book places minimal emphasis on traditional sales techniques, such as closing the deal and overcoming objections, which might be disappointing to readers who are seeking guidance on these aspects of sales. While relationship-building is critical to sales success, some readers might feel that the book places too much emphasis on this aspect of the sales process, neglecting the importance of developing a strong value proposition, prospecting, and qualification. The book also does not provide much guidance on sales techniques related to digital channels such as social media or email campaigns, which may make the content less relevant in a world where digital sales channels are becoming increasingly important. Lastly, the book is light on empirical evidence and data to support its key principles, which could be a concern for data-driven readers who expect more rigorous research in non-fiction titles.

I’m rating the book 5 out of 5 for generally well-done editing, with a few minor errors in grammar or punctuation that do not significantly detract from the overall reading experience. The writing is generally concise and easy to understand, with well-organized content that is broken down into manageable sections. The book has a clear and consistent tone throughout, which is accessible to readers at all levels of experience with sales and relationship-building. The author has a conversational and engaging writing style that makes the content accessible to a wide range of readers. The book is well-organized and uses a mix of personal anecdotes, case studies, and practical tips to illustrate its key points.

I highly recommend the book for sales professionals, business leaders and executives, entrepreneurs and small business owners, and anyone interested in building more meaningful relationships.
