Reviews
Ranging across history, from Charles Lindbergh to Sam Walton, the authors examine how savvy negotiators use persuasion - not confrontation-to achieve goals. -U.S. News & World Report Shell and Moussa have done something remarkable here, turning a mysterious, intuitive art into a clear, systematic science. -Robert B. Cialdini, author of Influence: Science and Practice Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People remains a standard for salespeople to this day, but [The Art of Woo] is more . . . relevant in ways that Carnegie's 70-year-old book cannot be. -Library Journal Many motivational books exhort readers to sell yourself to bosses and colleagues. This one counsels you to do so with self-awareness, finding a style that suits your strengths and weaknesses. The bottom line: woo wisely. -Time A fascinating book about how to pitch for gain and maintain long-term client relationships that are keys to success...Essential reading for anyone trying to get ahead of the pack in our competitive, global marketplace. -Robert Wolf, Former Chairman & CEO of UBS
