But it's completely hilarious that the author didn't even bother to proofread this simple book. For marketing advice, I guess I'll look elsewhere.

Well, thanks for getting through this book...
I didn't realize door to door was still a thing, with the exception of school kids, religion promoters, and perhaps political candidates. Thanks for the great review!

I've recently reviewed a badly edited book too. When it started to really bother me, I kept asking myself why so many mistakes? I mean, I understand that every book has its share of typos and even occasional grammar mistakes, but I can't understand such an overwhelming number in the first place. How can you get carried away so much as to forget ordinary rules? Anyway, I have never really been too interested in sales or marketing strategies. Besides, I have to tell you a little secret. I don't open my door to any salespersons. :) And I am the one who decides what's being bought. Not even in shops do I have the patience to listen to somebody trying to convince me to buy a certain product. Thanks for your review!

I really hate being marketed to as well. I've gotten to the point that I can't even watch commercials on TV or listen to them on the radio...they just insult my intelligence.

A great review. I am not into marketing, although I do have to do a little at my job, but I could never see myself doing door to door sales. Thanks for a very thorough review.

It's a little sad when books get rushed through to publication and no one can be bothered to proof-read and edit.

It's like, hey look everyone, I published a book! And then let the reader suffer...

Thanks for the honest review. My first thought about door to door selling was omg is it safe? And as someone commented, yes it might work for the elderly. I think it's great that the system works for someone but I agree, it seems a little outdated.

I agree with you that these types of books are difficult to rate. I'm shocked you found so many errors on the first page alone. In most cases, that simple fact would deter me from reading any further. It seems your one out of four star rating is substantiated. Thanks for your thoughts.
