“This book is a must read for all who aspire to succeed in sales—that is selling anything whether it is an idea, product or service. Top producers are not stopped by the word no. Hearing no only gets their engines going. No is a part of life and here is a secret, ready? Top producers hear more no’s than yeses.

“Martin Limbeck takes the reader through a wonderful journey learning about topics such as focus, goal-orientation, and resolve.

This book is good, not only for beginning sales professionals, but for the seasoned pros who need a reminder of what sales is all about.
I particularly liked the way he stressed the importance of personal responsibility. It is imperative for a sales professional to do the adequate homework necessary before any conversation. There is no shortcut for this and Limbeck provides many examples to show the importance of adequate and thorough preparation and how important it is not only in the sales process, but in life.
This is a book that is packed full of ideas the sales professional can go and implement immediately. It is a fun read and an important read. Do yourself a favor. Buy this book, or yet, and apply its principles today.”

“Martin Limbeck is a dedicated sales expert. I had the opportunity to meet him and enjoy his presentation at one of our sales meetings in Munich. He is very powerful and convincing, yet bold. What I like most about NO Is Short for Next Opportunity is the way Martin views selling. It is not a job with a negative connotation but rather a profession that deserves to be done with pride. As the book title indicates, a no is not the end of the world in sales but a beginning, because you cannot lose, you can only win. This represents a mindset that we need in sales. Martin puts things into the right perspective and reminds us that, armed with self-confidence, no sale is beyond our reach.”
