I was hoping this book would be focussing more on the entire sales process. For my taste there were too many details about how to present PowerPoint slides a lot of which were pretty obvious. Didn't enjoy it or glean enough new information from it as I was hoping I would.

A book everyone who is in the business of selling anything, literally anything, should read.
It does not hand out one-size-fits-all recipes on how to win at marketing. But it does tell lots of examples and gives lots of compelling arguments why things should be done a certain way.
I wish I read this book earlier. Like, 10 years ago. Then again, I am glad I was able to read it now! As a small business/handmade business owner, I never thought there is even a way for me to tell a story. A one-woman show, where I do everything myself – what story is there to tell, you know? Like, look at me, isn’t that enough? Turns out, it isn’t. I never really understood what this storytelling is. I was sure it has something to do with making up a beautiful half-truth and pushing it everywhere, and no, that’s not me. Oh, how wrong I was! This book finally makes sense.
If marketing books tend to promise “secrets”, yet never deliver, this does not promise anything, but it does deliver.

Straightforward and a true pleasure to read, NOTHING GETS SOLD UNTIL THE STORY GETS TOLD is powerful, convincing, and motivating counsel from master storyteller Steve Multer. The points Multer makes are so well-depicted through his stories that I often forgot I was learning excellent skills from a consummate master. What's more, I have already put many of the principles into immediate action--and enjoyed wonderful results with closer connections and deeper conversations. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

Thank you, SKM Creative Inc Message Master Media, for the advance reading copy.

I wish this book was available three years ago when I was so ignorant about marketing and that too value driven marketing!

I love this book wholeheartedly and this book holds so many “secrets” that I think many do not want others to know.

The book has seventeen short amazing information filled chapters with an extra short chapter towards the end. Each chapter holds so much value and you will know why when you read this book.

For the genuine entrepreneurs and anyone who’s main priority is marketing who wants to work smart and build the basics with the best available guide, you can go for this book without thinking twice.
