Winning Through Intimidation
User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Classic
Finished Mr. Ringer’s classic this morning. After “hearing” of the book for years, about six months ago I purchased a used hardback and put it in the queue. As many others have pointed out, this book isn’t so much about intimidation as it is about “NOT” being intimidated by others. He provides real-world counsel when he advises that closing the deal is not the goal; getting paid is the goal—and apparently in his industry (real estate) this can be a role of the dice. I enjoyed the book in the beginning, but after a while his details of real estate successes and failures became tedious. He wraps up nicely with some penetrating questions for the reader. I would recommend this to anyone trying to build their confidence. I’ll keep on the shelves as a reference and will recommend to colleagues and friends.
5 Stars Particularly relevant for Real Estate Professionals.
I am a real estate agent and after first reading this book my first reaction was to keep it a secret. I felt it was so powerful I did not want it in the hands of my competition or co-workers. I read the whole book 16 hours after buying it. When done, I knew his philosophy would earn me money. Ringer explains the personality types that try to screw others and how to handle these people. His view of business describes the playing field as a jungle where few have ethics in the 11th hour when it is time to cash in the chips. He is right and anyone who has not read this book is at a distinct disadvantage!

5 Stars Get Real
You may think that it is about intimidating others with fear, force and manipulation but in the contrary it is about how not to be intimidated out of your own success by your own false beliefs, insecurities, fears, personal shortcomings based on previous life experiences that have molded your personality to fail and live a mediocre life! It is about real power that comes from putting the magnifying glass on you, your unconscious, so you are no longer intimidated and can move forward in life with your dream!
5 Stars A MUST READ
If one could only read one book in their lifetime, this would be the book.
