See what people are saying about the new book, GOD IS A SALESMAN!
"Mark Stevens in his book God is Salesman: Learn From the Master offers very salient points about how being an honest, trustworthy, person with integrity can win in today's business world. If we apply these lessons from the bible in our businesses, we will all be more successful and happier."
Patricia Raskin "God is a Salesman is one of those book's whose wisdom and thought-provoking parallels leaves you with hours of self-searching evaluation. It not only reminded me of what is really important in life and in business, but also demonstrated how simple faith remains a powerful force in all we do. The book touches something unique and special - there are lessons in it for everyone that you can immediately put to use. It was so captivating that I read it in one sitting."
Mike Sudik "Mark--you brought great value to our firm as a marketing firm--and I was always delighted by the added value you brought in terms of "sale advice." Now I can see that this skill and love is innate to your core. Great book. Beats ALL the other 250 page sales textbooks I have read."
Jeffrey Scott "A cutting edge and unique approach on sales, Mark Stevens pushes the envelope by metaphorically blending religion and the art of the sale - and it works! Illustrated with interesting personal experiences that capture the essence of Mark's message, GIAS will give you the tools to better relationship building, thus taking you on a path to becoming a great salesman."
Randall LaBranche "Having been in both sales and ministry for many years I must say that this is the first book that puts both in proper perspective. The principles are solid and although this book is a quick read it is deep. I plan on walking my entire sales team thru it."
Mike McNamee "God Is A Saleman, more than anything I've read in recent memory, helps explain to people the guarantee from God that if you are faithful, loyal, and honor his commandments, good things will pass through your bloodline until the end of the earth. The book makes a powerful and convincing argument that, though religion can be manipulated, abused, and misused as an instrument of evil deeds and selfish ends, when fatih is applied in its proper context, there is nothing one cannot overcome or endure in this lifetime. "
Armstrong Williams "I pray that those who have an ear to hear, eyes to see and the desire to capture wisdom that only God has imparted to Mark Stevens, to pick up a copy of God Is a Salesman. I am reminded of the scripture, "many are called but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14), many will see the unveiling of this message but only few will pick up wisdom. Networking and selling with the right intent, creates a long lasting relationship opposed to only a quick sell. Mark's obedience to empower the business world with the truth about selling and how it lines up with not only the principles of the bible but God's desire for our business behavior, is truly a leap of faith! I commend your obedience and confidence in doing so."
Regina Baker "It's hard to find a business book that touches so many levels of the psyche. 'God is a Salesman' offers a unique blend of business leadership ideas and personal growth strategies. Mark Stevens provides a recipe for some of life's most important challenges--listening, sharing, truly caring--that can be applied in the office, in the household, anywhere where people connect."
Diane Schwartz "During our Ascent 2007 conference of Siemens IT Solutions and Services I had the pleasure to present Mark Stevens to our Top Clients. He provided our international clientèle with very interesting insights in his concepts of faith-based selling and customer relations. Stevens went far beyond incidental reflections by suggesting that first, "God is a Salesman" and second, that the great world religions are experts at customer satisfaction in a way no chief executive may have yet considered."
Dr. Christoph Kollatz "God is a Salesman is a book that reads itself. I literally did not put it down. Like Biblical parables, Mark Stevens' stories are powerful and carry the message home."
Chris Mead "I have spent my life in sales and read dozens of books on the subject. 'God is a Salesman' is by far one the most unique and enlightening ever. The concept of selling through faith and instilling that in your customers is brilliant and the examples used in the book clear and compelling."
Stephen Siegel, Chairman of Global Brokerage "If you are not deeply religious or 'wear religion on your sleeve', God Is A Salesman will not only help you break out of the old sterotypical sales habits, but delveop the methods by which people want to be sold."
Rich Hartman, LUTCF, CLTC "Mark Stevens book is a wonderful blend of the Spiritual with the business world. It was refreshing to read a book that connects the dots of faith to the world of sales. It was a captivating book to read and one that will be of benefit to both the religious and secular world. I recommend this book and Mark's refreshing approach to a great model for sales."
Pastor John M. Weber "This book will ignite a lot of thinking—and that's a good thing! It provides a way to get in alignment with God's key steps and to consider having real relationships instead of just selling stuff. The personal stories provide credibility, a human experience, and the reassurance that everyone can change for the better."
George Pine "Mark Stevens understands the soul of selling. He skillfully weaves the universal concept of religious belief with the art of selling. He shows how the influencer needs to engage with the heart, hopes and dreams of the buyer inspired by the product or idea."
Barbara Cleary, CEO "God Is A Salesman" is the book that takes an ordinary salesman to an influential and trusted advisor. Read it several times so it sinks in"
George Farrell "I'd like to congratulate and thank you on your excellent speech in Berlin last week during our customer event ASCENT. ...a lot of people were wondering what this title meant. But you were fully right when you said so many people follow "any God" without ever having seen him... You perfectly showed this in the 5 topics you presented. End of the day when it comes to the relationship between us and a client - the basis is trust. Thanks again and Regards from Munich."
Rolf Unterberger, MBA Vice President Group, Member of the Executive Board "This book touches so much of what you know deep in your heart and your mind is simply the right way to live."
Rich Polantari "Inspirational. This book is helping me be an even more compassionate and effective physician. It applies to all walks of life."
Robert Green, M.D. "I have known Mark for years. He has more insight into the noble art of selling than anyone I know. Every time I see him, I learn something new about business. With ‘God Is A Salesman,’ Mark makes the connection between the divine spark in each of us and the world of business. Mark identifies the techniques that God uses to sell himself to us and applies those techniques to selling." "Strip away the boardrooms, stockholder meetings, pep rallies and other glitter and what is left is people—people who have a need to know that there is a higher purpose for existence. They need to know that there is a reason—a vital reason—to go to work in the morning. They need to know that the business for which they are employed is ethically fulfilling a mission that betters the lives of their customers. God provides that purpose! He shares his vision with us. He lets us know that we can trust him, even when his purpose is unclear to us. He makes guarantees to the faithful. In short, God makes us an offer we can’t refuse." "Mark puts it in your face: Take a lesson from your creator! You'll be glad you did!"
Herb Vest "Mark has done it again. Breakthrough thinking from one of the great disciples...read this book, take it up to the mountain, accept its commandments....or your company will be left in the dust."
Andrew J. Sherman "I love God is a Salesman. A message that every business leader needs to listen to and turn into action. Really a perfect summary of all the important factors that contribute to personal success and satisfaction as ethic values have finally reached a status of high significance again. The one and only true success factor."
Florian Hein "Stevens uses the element of surprise, and the power of his own experience, to deliver timeless lessons on selling."
Dan Jarvis "Brilliant in its simplicity and message. A must read in the book of life."
