As Part of our Sales Training, your TK Worldwide Trainer wants to ensure that you have all the tools you need for success. You were given an assignment to read books that are focused on self development and sales training. The topics addressed, in the books we have selected, are covered in our seminars and reinforce classroom training. Attitude is everything in sales, so many of these books will help you with positive attitude development and maintenance... tune your head for sales success. Other books have been selected to help you with building your automotive business and automotive career. We also care about your future, so we have included books that address finance management and how to build wealth.

Every TK Worldwide Sales Trainer has started their career as an Automobile Sales and Leasing Consultant. We became Sales Managers, General Managers, Manufacturer Executives, and Dealers. We have all faced the fears, doubts, peaks and valleys that will occur in this or any business... but we all remained confident. Confident that this one goal, to which we committed... to develop a successful Automotive Career... would result. We remained focused, worked hard and studied hard.

If you do not have confidence... where do you get it? Read, study, surround yourself with positive outgoing people and mirror the actions and activities of positive people. Do not give up! We planted a seed of success in you that needs to be cultivated, watered, pruned... read, study, mirror and, tune. When you do this, a strong tree will grow that bears the fruit of success. Negativity, fear, doubt and stress, can easily kill this fragile seed of success until it gets a chance to grow strong within you. "Sometimes we are our own worst enemies, putting roadblocks of negative thinking in the path of life." Protect the seed of success that has been planted deep within you... from the things that will kill it. This is a precious fragile gift... take care of it... and make it grow.

Possibility thinking, goal setting, visualization and a commitment to working your action plans breeds success. We know this is a fact... because we have all done it. Please do not call us and tell us that my Sales Manager did not do this or that... it's their fault. The Automobile business is a fast paced and an exciting work environment... Managers do get busy and their focus is not all on you. Here is the good news. This motivational work plan, which has been started in the TK Worldwide seminar, must continue. Your education and success is in your control. Plant this phrase in your head... "If it's Going to Be... it's Up to Me" !

Your Sales Certification Training was only the beginning... training never ends... select a book to continue your education. Come back here often when you need a "tune-up". The top performing salespeople spend, at least, one hour each day on product knowledge and sales education. Start a sales team study group and book club... discuss what you have read, and exchange books. Get started today. Read, study and good selling. Education is power.

Little Red Book of Selling: The 12.5 Principles of Sales Greatness:

How to Make Sales Forever by Jeffrey Gitomer

This book is filled with more than a dozen principles of sales greatness, as well as numerous lists and attack plans for dealing with difficult customers, The Little Red Book of Selling offers the answers to just about every sales question a salesperson could ask, and provides the firsthand experiences and positive enthusiasm to drive them home with vitality and optimism.

Why Red?

• Red is the color of passion. Passion is the fulcrum point of selling. No passion, no sales.
• Red is the color of love. If you don't love what you sell, go sell something else.
• Red is the brightest color. You must be bright in order to convert selling to buying.
• Red is the most visible color. You must be visible to your customers with a value message, not just a sales pitch.
• Red is fire. If you're not on fire, you'll lose to someone who is.

The Little Red Book of Selling contains more than 18 ways to become a sales success, 20 ways to beat a sales slump, 8.5 resources to tap in a pinch, 14 ways to create a personal brand, and a plethora of other handy tabulations that can help any salesperson quickly get to the root of his or her problems. Thumb tabs on the sides of the book's pages and a ribbon page marker make the book a convenient reference guide to handling sales dilemmas, giving value, using creativity and humor, and reducing a customer's risk. Clever cartoons and page design make The Little Red Book of Selling's contents come alive with bold directives and professional advice.

Show Up Prepared... Gitomer's daring format provides a personal action plan that breaks down his tips into secrets; success strategies; and bold, large-lettered statements or questions that convey the roots of his principles. For example, after discussing the power of networking, the following giant words fill the page: Networking works well when you employ the two-word secret: Show up. Networking works best when you employ the three-word secret: Show up prepared.

Authentic Happiness - Using the New Positive Psychology to Realize Your Potential for Lasting Fulfillment by Martin E. P. Seligman

Happiness isn't just a gift; it's a skill that can be learned and cultivated.

According to psychology professor Dr. Martin Seligman, everyone has the power to infuse real joy into his or her life. To teach ourselves happiness, he recommends that we identify and develop our personal "signature strengths." By incorporating these attributes into the crucial arenas of our lives, we can enhance our lives and experience real fulfillment. This is an orthodox but sensible life-changing lesson.

Drawing on groundbreaking scientific research, Seligman shows how Positive Psychology is shifting the profession's paradigm away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology, victimology, and mental illness to positive emotion and mental health. Happiness, studies show, is not the result of good genes or luck. It can be cultivated by identifying and nurturing traits that we already possess - including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity.

Seligman provides the tools you need in order to ascertain your most positive traits or strengths. Then he explains how, by frequently calling upon these "signature strengths" in all the crucial realms of life - health, relationships, career - you will not only develop natural buffers against misfortune and negative emotion, but also achieve new and sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification, and meaning.

"Positive Psychology"... focuses on strengths rather than weaknesses, asserting that happiness is not the result of good genes or luck. Seligman teaches readers that happiness can be cultivated by identifying and using many of the strengths and traits that they already possess - including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity. By frequently calling upon their "signature strengths" in all the crucial realms of life, readers will not only develop natural buffers against misfortune and the experience of negative emotion, they will move their lives up to a new, more positive plane.

Seligman provides the Signature Strengths Survey along with a variety of brief tests that can be used to measure how much positive emotion readers experience, in order to help determine what their highest strengths are. The life-changing lesson of "Authentic Happinessis" that by identifying the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification, and meaning.

How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie

Under the subheading "15,000,000 people can't be wrong," We proudly present one of the all-time business book classics. You've probably heard about this book, as it's one of those titles that have become part of the cultural lexicon (like CATCH-22). It floats around the edges of the pop-culture ether, easily recalled but little read.

Written in 1936, it is based on courses in public speaking that had been taught in adult education courses by Dale Carnegie since 1912 (and to put to rest a popular assumption, he was no relation to the magnate Andrew Carnegie). It is an unusual little book, written in a highly personalized, colloquial style that is reminiscent of a lecture.

But this is no infomercial for real estate investment with no money down or for a personal improvement guru. This book was designed with professionals in mind, and designed to help professional people do better in business by helping them make social contacts and improve their speaking skills. It was also written with a certain...earnestness in mind. Carnegie was a big believer in sincerity when it came to dealing with other people.

Making People Glad to Do What You Want A Shortcut to Distinction by Lowell Thomas

If it's Going to be, it's Up To Me by Dr. Robert H. Schuller

THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE

Sometimes we are our own worst enemies, putting roadblocks of negative thinking in the path of life. Robert H. Schuller, author, motivator and host of the popular television show Hour of Power, here illustrates his potent personal message of possibility thinking. Full of Dr. Schuller's infectious enthusiasm and down-to-earth practicality, If It's Going to Be, It's Up to Me, details how you can tap into "dynamic divine energy" that leads to personal and spiritual success in any field. Dr. Schuller knows from his own experience, "If you can dream it, you can do it!" He reveals:

• The exciting possibilities for change that are already available in your own life
• How to set goals that will work
• The secret to asking for help
• Techniques for cracking the inner circle of success
• A unique system to help you break free from thinking that holds you back

Nine principles that can help you move from concept to commitment

"... Every person is an open book. What laboratories in living they all are! Winners and losers. Dreamers and doers. Some are "make it happen" people; some are "waiting for others to make it happen" people... What have I learned from reading all of the books put before me - printed and unprinted? That life is made up of this basic scientific reality: possibility thinking versus impossibility thinking. All living people expose an unpublished autobiography. Study these unfinished books. Ask yourself, "When and where did these people 'make it' - or 'miss it'?"

You'll find that the answer to that question always depends on how they managed the positive opportunities to become the persons they were designed and destined by God to be. Possibilities: Life Is Loaded with Them. When, where, and how do people see the possibilities? In needs that must be filled... In challenges that inspire you to do and be more than you ever imagined... In problems waiting to be solved... In pain that cries out for help ... In joys and sorrows that, when wonderfully and wisely shared, become lifesaving forces and sources to encourage someone who "reads the story - "

• Inside you will find:
• Possibilities Must Be Weighed
• Priorities Must Be Swayed
• Plans Must Be Laid
• Commitments Must Be Made
• The Price Must Be Paid
• The Timing May Be Delayed
• The Course Must Be Stayed
• The Trumpets Will Be Played

CEO of Self by Herman Cain

Leadership is the consistent "harvesting" of opportunities in order to succeed. CEO of Self happens in a business when every person, in every job feels fully empowered to be the best leader they can be in their respective roles. When everyone in the business feels that they are truly the CEO of their job and understands what part they play in the overall mission and goals of the business, the organization will succeed and the culture will change to one of success.

If your goal in life is success and happiness, your job in life is to be in charge of your life. In fact, Cain says, you won't be happy unless and until you're "CEO of SELF." And he's taken his own fascinating life as CEO and entrepreneur, extracted the main lessons, and distilled it all into an eminently livable philosophy. A gifted and inspiring communicator, Herman Cain encourages all of us to achieve the happiness and success we deserve, while giving us the steps - and confidence - we need along the way.

Whether you're facing a major crisis or merely having a bad day, you hold in your hand a tool that can help you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and find encouragement through tough times.

The Be Happy Attitudes offers you the keys to a vital faith and joyous life - time-tested principles for lasting happiness gleaned from the words of Jesus in the beatitudes.

Best-selling author Dr. Robert H. Schuller shows how you can improve your life by making eight crucial attitude adjustments. Looking at the Beatitudes one by one, he explores what they really mean for us today and shows how applying these positive principles can make a practical difference in anybody's life.

Dr. Schuller says, "Where do you look to find happiness? Not in riches, recognition, or recreational drugs, but in readjusted mental attitudes! That's what this book is about - the life-transforming power of a readjusted mental attitude. This book will absolutely change your life - if you learn to live by the Be Happy Attitudes."

Success Is Never Ending - Failure Is Never Final By Robert Schuller

Each of us has experienced "down times" - setbacks at work, in relationships, in our inner lives - times where nothing seems to go right. Most of us have also felt as if we've failed at times, as well. But what is the difference between those who succeed and those who fail? The answer is simple: attitude.

Customers for Life: How to Turn That One-Time Buyer into a Lifetime Customer by Carl Sewell

Drawing on his incredible success in transforming his Dallas Cadillac dealership into the second largest in America, Carl Sewell revealed the secret of getting customers to return again and again in the original Customers for Life. A lively, down-to-earth narrative, it set the standard for customer service excellence and became a perennial bestseller. Building on that solid foundation, this expanded edition features five completely new chapters, as well as significant additions to the original material, based on the lessons Sewell has learned over the last ten years.

Sewell focuses on the expectations and demands of contemporary consumers and employees, showing that businesses can remain committed to quality service in the fast-paced new millennium by sticking to his time-proven approach: Figure out what customers want and make sure they get it. His "Ten Commandants" provide the essential guidelines, including:

• Under promise, over deliver: Never disappoint your customers by charging them more than they planned. Always beat your estimate or throw in an extra service free of charge
• No complaints? Something's wrong: If you never ask your customers what else they want, how are you going to give it to them?
• Measure everything: Telling your employees to do their best won't work if you don't know how they can improve
• Borrow, borrow, borrow: Sewell, for example, learned about hospitality from Japanese culture, cleanliness from Disney, and politeness from his mother.

The Ten Commandments of Customer Service

It all starts here: how good do you want to be?

ONE - Ask your customers what they want...and give it to 'em

• The customer will tell you how to provide good service
• If the customer asks, the answer is always yes
• There's no such thing as after hours Under promise, over deliver

TWO - How to give good service every time

• Systems, not smiles
• Fire your inspectors
• Fire your consumer relations department, too
• Do it right the first time
• When something goes wrong
• How to have what your customers want
• Good enough never is

THREE - People: how to care for customers - and employees

• Q: Who's more important? Your customer or your employee? A: Both
• The customer isn't always right
• How to teach customers to get the best service
• Creating frequent buyers
• Making sure you have the best people
• Developing service superstars

FOUR - How do you know how good you are?

• Accounting for more than money

FIVE - What do you pay to get good service?

• Save more by paying more
• Partnership pay

SIX - Leadership is performance

• You can't fake it

SEVEN - Every impression is important

• Selling should be theater
• Your mother was right: manners really are important
• "If that's how they take care of the restrooms, how'll they take care of me?"
• When was the last time (if ever) you thought about your signs?
• If the boss is a crook, you can't expect the employees to be honest
• The only dress code you'll ever need

EIGHT - Creating products that are easy to sell

• Make a little, sell a little
• You can't give good service if you sell a lousy product

NINE - Borrow, borrow, borrow

• Why reinvent the wheel? Just improve it
• "The things you don't know are the history you haven't read"

TEN - You are the message

• Speak softly but...
• Promotions: Wet T-shirts or the symphony?

ELEVEN - Bring 'em back alive

• The $332,000 customer
• How to be forgiven your trespasses
• This way of working really does work

Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In by Roger Fisher, Bruce Patton, William Ury

Getting to Yes is a straightforward, universally applicable method for negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting taken - and without getting angry.

It offers a concise, step-by-step, proven strategy for coming to mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict - whether it involves parents and children, neighbors, bosses and employees, customers or corporations, tenants or diplomats. Based on the work of Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deal continually with all levels of negotiations and conflict resolutions from domestic to business to international, Getting to Yes tells you how to:

• Separate the people from the problem
• Focus on interests, not positions
• Work together to create opinions that will satisfy both parties
• Negotiate successfully with people who are more powerful, refuse to play by the rules, or resort to "dirty tricks"

The Problem

• Don't Bargain Over Positions

The Method

• Separate the PEOPLE from the Problem
• Focus on INTERESTS, Not Positions
• Invent OPTIONS for Mutual Gain
• Insist on Using Objective Criteria

Yes, But

• What If They Are More Powerful?
• What If They Won't Play?
• What If They Use Dirty Tricks?

Ten Questions People Ask About Getting to Yes

• "Does positional bargaining ever make sense?"
• "What if the other side believes in a different standard of fairness?"
• "Should I be fair if I don't have to be?"
• "What do I do if the people are the problem?"
• "Should I negotiate even with terrorists or someone like Hitler? "
• "When does it make sense not to negotiate?"
• "How should I adjust my negotiating approach to account for differences of personality, gender, culture, and so on?"
• "How do I decide things like 'Where should we meet?' 'Who should make the first offer?' and 'How high should I start?'"
• "Concretely, how do I move from inventing options to making commitments?"
• "How do I try out these ideas without taking too much risk?"
• "Can the way I negotiate really make a difference if the other side is more powerful?" And "How do I enhance my negotiating power?"

Freese has taken the approach that consistently empowered him to exceed, at times even double, his selling results, and has packaged it into the sales methodology he calls Question-Based Selling.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids about Money - That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! By Robert T Kiyosaki

"A good education and secure job are not guarantees of financial success"

The advice that dads traditionally give is so commonplace, it seems almost clichéd: Go to school and do well Save your money Work hard, and financial reward will follow

What would you say upon learning that dear ol' Dad was dead wrong?

In his explosive financial manuals, Robert T Kiyosaki suggests that perhaps you shouldn't have taken Dad's advice, encouraging a new look at an old financial mind-set The subtitle of Rich Dad, Poor Dad says it all: "What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!" Contending that the wealthy have learned to make money work for them, rather than toiling for the almighty dollar, Kiyosaki reveals the secrets to success his way.

A millionaire himself, Kiyosaki's own experience plays a part in his controversial financial guidebooks His real father, an educated, diligent man who became superintendent of education in Hawaii, gave his son the traditional fatherly counsel about hard work and financial gain He died broke and bitter Kiyosaki's "second father," his friend Mike's dad, was a high school dropout who taught Kiyosaki all that he now knows to be true about money His "rich dad" lived up to Kiyosaki's affectionate name for him, becoming one of Hawaii's wealthiest men

Robert Kiyosaki's philosophy - including the assertion that a high income does not a wealthy person make - forms the cornerstone of his remarkable books, and his message is clear: "Take responsibility for your finances or take orders all your life You're either a master of money or a slave to it " With Kiyosaki's guidance, explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich, challenge the belief that your house is an asset, and refuse to rely on the school system to teach kids about money
