Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
I've heard his name mentioned but have never researched any of his information. He's going to be conducting a seminar here locally in 2 weeks. Is it worth going?

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
He's like a motivational speaker isn't he?
My mom and my brother have some of his CD's... bunch of crap if you ask me.

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
I own a bunch of his cd's and would recommend them to anyone including Humble Abode. I really connected with his way of thinking and it has helped me during a sale and in life in general. If you to feel good about yourself and the sales process give him a try. The bookstores sell his audio cds which are great when your driving to appointments.
I would love to see him in person before his time comes.

Don't miss the opportunity. Don't worry about what you will or won't get out of it. I've seen him many times in person and he's awesome. Will you learn the secrets to everything you want to do with your business? No. But that's not what he is about. Just go and open your mind and more importantly your heart to what is Zig. |

I've never seen him live, but have listened to tapes and seen videos. I'd jump at the chance to see him. He is full of great information.

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
I went to a seminar about 6 months ago that included Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Rudy Giuliani, Suze Orman, and others. Absolutely a great seminar.

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
If I only had one word to describe the mans style of orating, it would be "Inspirational!"
But, I have the freedom of typing much more, so blah,blah,blah... Just kidding. I have listened to his cassettes for years. I suscribe to his weekly e-mail newsletter. I feel invigorated anytime I hear the man discuss his philosophy on business principles, which from his perspective, is not really about business. It is about life! It is about setting and planning and achieving goals! His speech mannerisms will be a welcome touch to any "Southerner" and his humble methods attract even the most aggressive personality types. GO, AND TREASURE THE OPPORTUNITY! He is getting older and take advantage of listening to his gifted story telling in person while you have the chance. When and where is the speaking engagement? If I can, I would make the drive just to hear him in person. No ifs ands or buts about it. Ed |

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
Zig is "the original" sales trainer. All other since are just Zig wannabees.
I must admit that I'm surprised that he's still alive. I've got some old Betamax tapes from the mid 80's of his, and he looks old in those. |

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
Yes, but don't expect him to do it about your business. It's more about yourself personally, your personal relationships, your business relationships and so on, basically life in general. It's up to you to apply what he gives you to everything in your life, which would include your business.

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
Zig has some of the "nicest" closing techniques to hard close people without ticking them off. He's got a nice mix of southern hospitality and charm mixed with the hard sell.

Re: Opinions Of Zig Zigglar?
OK What the heck do I know! So now I'm curious. MD can you name a few of the CD's that have these good closing techniques? I can always use help with the close.
