Most sales books are about how to sell and how to act. Sales Dogs is different. Using a humorous comparison to different breeds of dogs, Sales Dogs gives a guide on how to understand your selling personality and adapt accordingly while avoiding frustration when tactics that others use fail for you
Sales Dogs is directed toward newer sales professionals, with less than say, five, years experience and breaks the personalities into five: Pit Bull, Golden Retriever, Poodle, Chihuah, and Basset hound. The idea is to learn what personality you have and to know what traps you can fall into and also the skills that you need to learn that will not come naturally to you. It then covers the skills of each of the sales dogs to help you become the ultimate sales mutt.
This books is very readable and the logic of the books sets up really well. Sales people with more experience may find it is a little general, and it is. Sales Dogs, gives several examples of what to do, but not in-depth teaching on how to do it. However, as a new salesperson I found it incredibly helpful in understanding my own selling personality and setting the foundations for later learning.
I have heard many people claim the same thing, and I would definitely agree. Mostly drivel with some good tidbits occasionally. like I said the most I got from his point of view was attitude. Rich people and poor people have different attitudes about money and how they teach their children reflects that difference.
Building wealth by using debt eventually runs out of advantages. Eventually you run out of people willing to loan you more money, which is why I believe he charges $45,000 to attend his bogus investment seminars.
Thank you very much for this comment Carter. Very helpful. Yeah I caught a glimpse at what Reed had to say in my link from him above. He really does not like Kiyosaki at all. I really like the list he put together too. That is very helpful.
As I am a high performance business coach who charges substantial amounts for one-on-one coaching with business owners, I have looked all around the world for the best training I could find for business (particularly with biblical principles) and will be attending the Entre-leadership Master Series.
I do agree that there are some tidbits of useful advice in his first book so it you want to read it, may I suggest, you get it from the library. This man definitely does not deserve to receive any more royalties.
The best road to wealth is hard work, action, smart use of opportunities, education, common sense, good sense of self preservation, and clarity. These are just some of the requirements. Oooh and for some, Lady Luck is kind.
I hate to sound mean but people that pay for the 3 day training.. Did you really think you were going to learn all about real estate in those 3 days? I mean did you really think the instructor.motivator was going to be able to put his years of experience and time into 3 days and you were going to understand it (master it) and leave knowing how to make money? If you did you were a moron.
The only beef i have with him is the price of his board game like some others mentioned, $200 is expensive and a bit greedy but it is his choice and your choice if you want to buy it. BUT AGAIN he is making so much money from that too because the quality and content as soo good. You do NOT have to buy it, it is your option, i think people are moaning simply because they cant afford the game because they are just employees. Despite the price of his board game people still buy it, and he gets even richer, which confirms the fact that he is a great business man, which is why your getting his advice in the first place u moaners!!! wake up!
His books are great, his advice is real life advice on how he got rich. He always states it is just guidance! People at these seminars are expecting Robert to wipe their ass too, they expect nothing but answers, when they are clearly advertised as training and guidance seminars, nothing illegal or even immoral about it. This is all down to some people spending loads on his seminars, and not becoming rich because they are stupid and lazy and then blaming Robert for them not being rich yet.
ALSO, Robert Kiyosaki simply licensed his name to these people, these people doing the seminars also license other names, that is their business, perfectly legal to do so BUT unfortunately for Robery kiyosaki i do believe some of the seminar practices are unethical which is damaging his name, but they are NOT SCAMS! they maybe aggressive sales people, but no one has a right to call this a scam. Like i said, Robert kiyosaki would have very little to do with the actual seminars, as he simply only receives royalties. This method is very common and even donald trump adopts the same style, e.g. he hires a seminar company to put together seminars and use his name as a marketing tool.
His books have provided so much useful information. HE ALWAYS STATES IN HIS books over and over, there are no guarantees, the money game is always risky, Robert also says always do your own research, dont take his word for it. These are not words of a scam artist. A scam artist would be promising you riches. Even his seminars dont claim they will directly make you rich, but with their guidance you have a much better chance.
Ive seen both sides of the story first hand. Robert kiyosaki has done nothing wrong, selling high priced seminars is not illegal!! selling a high price seminar is not a scam!!! for the people who bought, you are the one who bought! dont go around buying stuff then winging about the price, you knew how much it was before you bought and you agreed to it! so stop winging. If the quality of the seminar you paid for was not upto your expectations well then that is a shame for you, but it does not make it a scam!!! it makes people look so stupid when they go around calling this person a scammer, that journalist who did a piece on him should be ashamed. Some of my family members are journalist and trust me, they are the biggest liars in the world, they bend the truth and spin it around 180 degress just so they can make a story so they can keep their job!
Well people who have a good experience go on with their lives enjoying what they have received, it will always only be the complainers you hear from. 1 happy customer tells 1 friend, 1 angry customer tells NINE friends/people. Its a common accepted formula.
people have suggested its a scam because of the $45,000 dollar investment just for knowledge, how much does a university education cost you? i never went but my brother did and he finished with $80,000 in debts ONLY TO GO DO THE SAME JOB I WAS DOING at the time at JP MORGAN, but like i said i never went to uni.
Lastly, when people move up the financial ladder and move into the spot light, some people become jelous and spiteful, i have seen it many times in my life and its one of the negatives points about becoming successful.
I saw on one forum, a guy just left a 1 sentence post saying kiyosaki doesnt even have a rich dad and poor dad and that he just made it up, and that was it, the whole forum was saying how disgusting he is for lieing about not having a rich dad or a poor dad. See how easy it is to start a rumour online. Do your own research people and draw your own conclusion. Mine is that is the victim of dirty aggressive salesman.
Does ANYONE actually have REAL evidence to prove this guy as a scammer, expensive seminars do not count as scamming. Nor does highly secret telephone number which you can only get from any of his books or website. If you have actual proof then please, write it on here.
Like Nancy declaring Robert Kiyosaki must be a scammer because she was unable to find contact information, yet it is in all of his books and on his website, like i said took 10 seconds for me to find R.kiyosakis number when i read Nancys post.
Your reasoning, Brad, for mr.kiyosaki being a scammer because you can get the same inforation out there for a fraction of the cost, suggests then that most big companies are also scammers, HERMES, the luxury goods manufacturer charges upto 30,000 pounds for a handbag, louis vuitton, prada, all of these brands are over priced. So these are all scams too, we better call the cops and inform them.
Did Kiyosaki ever lie about the price of his books or seminars? His gameboard is ridiculously expensive, hence why i wont buy it, but you guys on here are the type who will buy it and then go online and call him a scammer for charging you so much, when in reality, you could have just not bought it if its too expensive for you. Honestly, the mentality here is awful, grouping together to attack a man who has done nothing wrong.
There is only one thing that Robert Kiyosaki ever said in his books with conviction, that was to purchase silve and gold, he repeatedly mentioned to his readers in most of his books to do so, if you had taken his advice you would be looking at 300-400% gain on your investment, even higher maybe depending on when you took his advice. So the only thing he ever said that was clear cut advice, he was correct on.
The rest of teaching is written in a motivational way, to get you thinking, he never claims to have get rich quick schemes (except gold and silver which was true), he always tells people its just his advice/opinion and to do their own research.
His books are amazing tools to help change your mindset, they motivated me so much at a point years ago when the recession hit my business. They gave me inspiration, hope and the ability to dream big.
I would say his books dont have a clear cut route to get rich because there is no such thing in the world and he does not claim that either, but in fact, his books did have a clear cut route to great financial gains which was the purchase of silver and gold. This was the only claim he ever made.
Im not refusing to look at individual complaints. Im asking you or anybody else to PRESENT EVIDENCE that this guy is a scammer, yet nobody including yourself can do so. Hence why i am saying what you are doing is wrong and unfair. Can you imagine if somebody else was bad mouthing you on the internet and not even presenting evidence.
